I Want To Live Close To The Sun. Well, Pack Your Bags Cause I've Already Won. Everything To Prove Nothing In My Way. I'll Get There One Day
So once again, Devil has been out rubbing shoulders with the influential and powerful people. And yes, shoulders were the only thing being rubbed. This time anyway.
An important exhibition was shown recently held at the state museum which was closed to the general public but being me...and doing what I do best...I was there, amongst a variety of dignitaries, politicians, ambassadors and other associated people of power and influence.
Ok, so I was there as a photographer which got me thinking...it must be so difficult for some amateurs who are attempting to start out in this field of work to get opportunities like this. I’ve been steadily building my network for years, and the recent launch of my business has gone extremely successfully because of that...and here I was at an event that extremely few people got to attend let alone know about (it was a strict invitation only event) and because of my reputation, I was right in amongst it with other professional photographers and photojournalists and even cameramen from various television stations.
Admittedly, it was hard work. It’s not easy always attending events like this, doing what I do best, getting close to the action, and getting excellent photo opportunities because of it...but I soldier on as best I can, because I know that not everyone is as lucky or as gifted as me.
It’s a burden – but I’ll manage. I mean...since I officially launched my business, I’ve barely had a single weekend where I haven’t been off photographing someone or something important. Some people might say I should be happy with that but it can get tiring, always having to be the one in the thick of it all.
