They say the captain goes down with the ship

so when the world ends will god go down with it?

I really need to get back into planning photoshoots. I did a few earlier this summer and then....stopped. This always happens to me during the summer! Right now its understandable because I actually have a job now and booking bands has consumed a good majority of my time. I really hope balancing the two wont be too difficult in the fall because I want to improve in both my art and music careers. By this I mean being both a photographer and doing booking. I do have some sick ideas though. Also I need models. Its hard for me to find people who I really like as models and when I find them I tend to overuse them. Last year my teacher told us we should start paying our models and quit using our friends if we want to be professionals. I must say I agree but I dont agree enough to actually pay anyone. I think it may be best if I get over my fear of stranger danger on the internet and work with some of those "time for prints" models one often comes across. You know the ones. I am open minded towards these "tfp" or "t4p" as they are commonly reffered. Hahahaha.

Now more than ever I believe in the saying "Good things come to those who wait". Its true if you want something bad enough you will get it. If you never do, you didn't want it bad enough. Everyone knows the feeling of wanting to do something or be something so badly they would do anything for it. If you are really meant to do it, all of the rejection in the world won't make you give up. And once someone gives you a chance or your realize your dream, you understand that it was all worth it. No matter what your dream is, there will always be someone smarter, more talented and more qualified than you, so its important that you believe in yourself and don't let the competition take your future from you. The moral of the story is don't ever give up on what you want or to quote Heath Ledger in one of my favourite movies, "Don’t let anyone ever make you feel like you don’t deserve what you want" — 10 Things I Hate about You.

Thank you for reading my little rant about chasing your dreams, now here is the art you came here for:
