i feel for you man... minsan talaga pag na-over run na yung hobby mo(what you love to do) with work minsan nawawalan na ng excitement na makabuo ng something creative. Kase nga nandun na yung pressure na you have to do it whether if it's fun doing or not.

Yan yung common fear na meron ako nung na realize ko na iba yung photography where you have to make a living sa photography na you just love doing. :)

Pero goodluck pa rin!

olats. diskarte na jan chong... :)) kaya mo yan, busy kamo? aba eh.. isiksik mo sarili mo sa sched nya. haha joke lang dont do that. Hanap ka ng iba, pakita mo d lang cya mundo mo.. wuuuuttt ang drama. haha

ok lang yan. rakenrol parin! Love everything you do, ang pagod natin in this kind of work is the pagod no one will ever understand unless the passion is embedded deep inside their system. In other words... Pinaka masayang pagod na mararamdaman mo.. hehe

always remember, we see the world differently, and the only way people can see what we see is if we keep showing it through the lens :) Good luck, see ya soon!

Dutein... just do the event gigs for experience and to spread your name among contacts... eventually, you will have to limit it to the better events so you dont run down your body and mind.

hi,

last year, i realised that photography is not at all that glamorous and cool as i imagined. yes we just have to accept (after finding them) jobs to earn a living. we are the type of photographers and artists who has to work to support our craft.

please let me share an experience (hope you wont get bored):

i had a shoot with a corporate client. i slept at 1 am after preparing my stuff then i had to wake up at 3 to go to the airport for manila. after arriving in manila at around 6+ we went to have breakfast then attend the briefing meeting until mga lunchtime. we then loaded a car for our long trip to bagiuo. arrived there at around 7, checked-in, had dinner then slept. wakeup call was 4 am on to a van to take us to benguet province about 3 hours away. after arriving at our destination, we were met by reps and guides to take us further up where no cars nor trucks pass. this trip would take about 4 hours (on foot) going up and down mountain slopes. we arrived at the first plant. spent an hour of shooting then off to the main plant some 3 kms away passing some very steep ways (on foot pa rin!) considering we have to carry all food, camera gear, lights, etc. the plant employees/models were ready when we arrived so i had to shoot right away. this shoot lasted 2 hours. double all that effort when we finished the shoot and went home to cebu.

when we arrived in cebu, i had to go overtime pa to edit about 200 selected images

looking back at all the pressure i had during that shoot i wondered how i was able to still be creative enough to please the client:)

yes dust, its really a huhuhu, but at the end of the day, i still love this job :)

p.s. i always miss your posts with the tasha avatar before :)

Don't lose the passion in what you love to do.
At the same time strive for balance.
There are times when there is a need to say NO.
ika nga the WILL is there but the body complains.
"Lawas ray puhonan nato" so take care of your health.
Your creative mind needs your body to be healthy.
Too much of something is not good no matter how much comes in.
when you feel tired...rest
when you begin to complain... remember the very first thought that came into your mind
when you started to pursue photography...always go back to the roots.
They keep you grounded and reminds you of your purpose. =)
And raise everything to God all the Blessings that poured in your life.

Good Luck in all your endeavor.

Being a photographer, despite being regarded as "glamorous" by most, is a very difficult job. Especially when clients demand a lot from the artist. Being a professional photographer is a tough job...but you reap what you sow.

Ok lang yan MD...and ating international jobs dyan? Hehehe.
