"Martin Francis" wrote in : Hi Martin, I'm not a photographer but the situation you describe is not unfamiliar to me, so my comment would be in general terms. All I can say is that if you have food and shelter then you ought to be thankful, 'cos those are the real necessities. Anything more than that is simply very very very nice. So make those two your priorities, and whether it's a menial job or whatever, that's okay, as long as it gets you those necessities then it's very good. That said, it doesn't have to be so menial; you seek out to have the best you can, and no more than thatt. As for graduation, I think one of the best pieces of advice I can think of in general terms it to seek a mentor, someone experienced and accomplished from the profession whose work you admire and who is well connected, for informal mentorship. Not someone with whom you have a formal relationship such as a tutor or whatever, but someone you can ask on personal terms and can relate to over time. Most people would be flattered to be asked, as long as you keep your expectations low and requests very very modest. If the person you ask says no, ask another one. A mentor can give you valuable advice and sometimes may also offer you links and connections, though my advice is to not have any such expectations but only expect advice and be thankful for it, and not request any more than he/she offer you without your request. |

... From: "Martin Francis" ternet So now I need a job, and that makes planning for new cameras so much harder. Right now i'm subsisting on a crappy digital whatnot and a 35mm point and shoot, and while I plan every day for the systems I want to buy, with all sorts of excellent reasons why I must buy this and not buy that, it all seems remarkably pointless. You want a D60? I'm not *that* desperate. -- Martin Francis http://www.sixbysix.co.uk "Go not to Usenet for counsel, for it will say both no, and yes, and no, and yes...." |

... "Martin Francis" wrote in message ... I've been sat here for ages, trying to think what to type. There just seems to be so many things to complain about or question right now. Because I am in transition; I am looking for a new job, and new camera systems. [SNIP] Plan B: Marry some rich bird that will get you what ever you want. Obviously, Jim, you've never seen a picture of Martin. ;-) Don't give up. If plan B works out, I'd like to be adopted. I can be the foreign son you wish you never had. Hmmm - on the other hand, me too. Peter |
