I find that my thoughts meander which in turn may affect the flow of my blog. My mind is constantly active, my thoughts erratic yet focused on the task. I ask myself “ Are my images erratic”? Perhaps, but I realize that my goal is always the same; the pursuit of the perfect image.
I know a handful of photographers who have carved out a niche in the world of photography and ran with it. One particular individual explained that his hobby was now his career, so he had to make choices. He told me once he found the angle to make money he quickly pursued more clients, and before he knew it, he was stuck shooting a particular style. He's fine with it, so he claims, but I wonder.
I have found that being a slave to my hobby would destroy my love and passion for what makes me most happy: photography. I am fine shooting as an armature, I am free to pursue any venue I choose, I have no deadlines, and the only person I need to please is myself. Selfish right? I call it smart.
Erratic but focused, that's how I approach photography.
