how often, in general, do you feel discouraged?
n/m Jan 18 06 07:12 pm Link n/m Jan 18 06 07:28 pm Link I just came to accept the kiss. Keep your head up! MUAH! Jan 18 06 07:31 pm Link lol...silly Jan 18 06 08:45 pm Link Every three years of shooting results in a two-year hiatus due to discouragement. So the answer is once seriously every five years, on average. -Don Jan 18 06 08:50 pm Link Every damn day... Jan 18 06 08:54 pm Link When I go to Chicago and I can only find one decent shoot because everyone is 'out of town', 'got a paid gig', or are a gwc.  Jan 18 06 08:54 pm Link Only when I realize I am not fully relying on my photography as my sole income. I am about 2 years off on the goal I set for when I would be doing nothing but photography. But I am still working a full time job. Other than that I do not really get discouraged. Jan 18 06 08:59 pm Link Every time a model does not reply to E-mails ... Every time a model does not want to shoot nudes ... Every time a model is a no show .... But every time that happens I get over it .. and try it all over again  Jan 18 06 09:05 pm Link about what? anything in general, or my "modeling"?

Jan 18 06 09:11 pm Link i am too damn good looking to be discouraged.

Jan 18 06 09:16 pm Link I get discouraged in my life and in my photography. As for photography, I never like anything I shoot right after the shoot. Probably because the standard I hold myself to does not match my skills. But, after a few days the photos start to grow on me. Then the discouragement goes away. But it will be back...right after the shoot. Jan 18 06 09:17 pm Link Prin S lea wrote: Another thing...

I've gotten to where my weight doesn't discourage me as much as it used to. The only thing that discourages me, is the fact that there are no decent agencies in my area right now, and that no photographers close to me want to shoot. I have to go out-of-state basically, if I want to shoot with anyone. I am hoping I will have a little easier time while in europe finding photographers and all. Jan 18 06 09:59 pm Link Only on a recent no show/no call. Haven't been at this long, so that's only once in 3 months. I'm trying to focus on the destination rather than the occassional little bump in the road.

But sometimes I think I am a terrible photographer, and then I look at others work and I feel a little better. But other times I look at some of the really good stuff on here and feel worse. I can at least say that I am a lot better than I was a year ago. So if every year I get better I guess that is a good thing. Jan 18 06 10:55 pm Link Craig Thomson wrote: Dammnn itttt ...

Jan 19 06 11:23 am Link generally I'm a pretty head-up-keep-trying kind of girl. I get consistent theatre work which I find fulfilling... I feel discouraged sometimes when I'm nearing a deadline and can't find a solution for a costume, but usually that is pretty temporary, as I love going to opening night and being proud of what I managed to accomplish all on my own (I am both designer and stitcher for the companies I work with). Sometimes I feel discouraged because I wonder how long it should take for me to improve in various areas of photography, but I don't really know how often I shoot or how much instruction I receive compared to other photographers, so it is hard to gauge. I'm always trying to do one better than the last shoot. I guess I feel like I should be better by now. Then again, I guess I should take the criticism and advice of the people who are paying me more seriously than that from people on the internet.

Jan 19 06 11:37 am Link as frequently as high tide, but it keeps me on my toes. Jan 19 06 11:38 am Link All the time...fairly constantly. But I'm at a point now where I don't want it to slow me down any more but push me forward. If I keep thinking I'm not good enough, rather than giving up, I will try to do better. (Wow, that was VERY after-school special of me) Jan 19 06 11:41 am Link not being able to get a good photo job because i did not have the$$$ to get a internship at high caliber publications because i can not afford to work for free or not getting a photo job because i can not afford the high caliber 4 year photo school Jan 19 06 11:50 am Link I am an optimist. I find every morning that I wake up, encouraging. After 25 years of photography, every time I still have to shoot some crummy product on a white background. . .that's discouraging (even though it pays the bills). Jan 19 06 11:54 am Link The state of Ohio is discouraging, people don't seem to "get it." So to rectify that, my best friend is sending me an Atlanta apartment guide. I want to be gone before the summer. Jan 19 06 01:34 pm Link well, since everyone else responded... about every 10th time someone pities me because I'm short about every 10th time someone asks why I'm not with an agency, even though I am. about every 10th time someone calls me an internet model and proceeds to explain how great agency models are, even though I make the vast majority of my modeling money OFF LINE but I always bounce back Jan 19 06 03:46 pm Link |
