Contemplation

Shot at White Mesa Arch in Arizona.

 

Some of you my have noticed my absence lately and I feel the need to explain myself for my lack of participation here on Flickr. No I haven't jumped ship and moved to instagram, I barely use any of my other social media outlets. During the month of October I had scheduled to shoot three weddings to make some extra cash for shooting, which lead me too a realization after editing 8000 wedding photos. I thought that I wanted to make a living on the road shooting landscapes full time, but it turns out that I don't really want to give up all of my earthly possessions, I still want to come home and relax on a large comfortable sofa and sleep in a California King size bed and workout in the garage or mow the lawn or most of all, having a solid income to spend while out shooting. Things that I have taken for granted over the last two years. I found that I would rather work a 9-5 job and enjoy a comfortable living and then shoot on the weekends, that way I can focus on the shooting and worry about the business stuff later. I greatly admire those that have followed that path, to sacrifice so much for their passion is commendable but in my opinion the sacrifice is too great. A plan like that requires a single individual and I'm married so that equation will never-ever work as a married man. So I will continue to be a weekend warrior. It's much more enjoyable that way and as a bonus I can keep my wife. Hehe. :-)
