I launched into this incredible space called ARTFIRE! (on accident but gratefully so!). Here's my website :)

There are some really helpful and cool people on Artfire. A will way a lot more nicer than the folks I've encountered on Etsy. You know, I believe that newsplug on Etsy a few months ago just made everyone sitting at home unemployed start posting vintage items lol. The website (etsy that is) seems to have the same sellers over and over on the front page. And as much as I do love briolettes what gives with everyone copying designs so much the art community is being taken over by wire-wrapped biolettes?
Ha!
No luck finding work.
I mean photography work. People have cancelled (my fault for not asking for the downpayment) I a slowly learning that even in desperate times, you can't be so desperate like I was two weeks ago and believe even your friends have paid work for you. They don't nor do their friends expect to pay.
I mean a woman writes me "I'm on a tight budget" this is for wedding photography. HEY SO ARENT WE ALL AND DO I KNOW HER NO! SO why does she think she deserves this great favor from me? In any regards I tried calling and she doesn't have the deceny to return calls. First she bitched I didn't call her back within 24 hours then when I do call she won't respond because I told her " I START AT $500 and go up from there). ANYONE that knows something about wedding photography should know
1. It's all you are left with other than your dress
2. People spend countless hours editing wedding photography - we don't just show up with our camera and click and there you go. I get so TIRED of people assuming models come perfected and spit out of my camera looking like perfect dolls. THAT is called Photoshop EDITING work. When PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE I refuse to put an unpolished piece up. I mean that doesn't apply to macro's of the dirt etc., but people - I photoshop. So if you think anyone can compete for less than 500 go hire that wedding photographer and get crappy photos.
Sorry I had to rant about that.
I really need to get a few more edits done for a friend that just had a baby and some cute items I made his wife with the baby's photo in them (pendant/charms) so I will be more active here, if anyone does ever follow me :) STALK AWAY
