This is only one example of this person's portrait photography.  I thought at first this might have been someone's personal endeavor, but upon further inspection, it is not.  THIS IS SOMEONE'S PROFESSIONAL JOB.  Jesus. 

This both makes me very sad, but at the same time, it inspires me.  If this assclown can get business with pictures of someone holding a light reflector behind his clients, SO CAN I!!!

I'm so glad I have at least some talent to realize this is crap. 

I wish I were one of those people with very few interests and knew exactly what they wanted to pursue in life.

I am not one of those people.

It's not like I don't want to do anything with my life.  It's that I want to do TOO MUCH.  I want to help people and make a difference, but I also love to be creative.  Problem is, I also want to be comfortable financially and not worry about how to make ends meet.  So I'm trying to figure out a way to do it all, but it's driving me nuts!

I'm trying to work out a tentative plan, which is very if.... then... Because I have to make something happen, but I have to wait a while to see if it will take effect and allow me to get where I wanna be.

For instance:

-IF I want to get into social work and take on issues such as family violence, THEN I need to get educated
-IF I want to get educated on social work, THEN I need to make sure I want to go back to school
-IF I want to go back to school, THEN I need to make sure I like what I'm going back for, and volunteer somewhere (i.e. SafePlace Austin)

-and-

-IF I want to start a photography portait business, THEN I need some experience and a portfolio
-IF I want more experience in photography, THEN I need a new digital camera THEN I need some education, THEN maybe get a new mentor

See what I mean?

I know it's all a matter of just doing it, but things like time and money get factored in and it really makes things difficult.  I dunno, what do you think?  Should I pursue these all at the same time?  Should I take on one at a time?  Should I abandon it all?  Ugh, I just don't know.
