• “You can’t make a living as a photographer.” (The equivalent to “you can’t make a living as an artist”.) I hear this a lot, even though sometimes it’s masked by different words or spoken with a facial expression instead. I’ve been beating the odds since long before I became a photographer. “You’re getting a degree in music? What are you going to do with that?! Seems like a waste of time.” But I didn’t let that stop me from building a life on being a musician, either. Here’s what I’ve learned in the past ten years or so: Doing what you love and what you are passionate about is NEVER a waste of time. Pouring your heart, soul and talent into something you were created to do is NEVER a waste of time. Don’t confuse this to say “it’s easy” or “it won’t be frustrating” or “there won’t be times you question everything” because those are crazy expectations. But is it worth it? Absolutely.
