I didn’t become a photographer for fame, glory, or riches

I didn’t become a photographer for fame, glory, or riches. While any of the three would be an awesome accomplishment any one of the three could be a scrouge as well. Let’s face it if you become any of the three the expectation is that anything you produce must be excellent.

I love creating work that achieves some level of excellence. I mean isn’t that the goal we all want to strive for? I’m just not sure I want to have my audience or the public expect that everything I generate is excellent. I know we can control what gets released to the wild and we should only release our best work. If you’re anything like me though having achieved fame, glory, and riches would cause me to put the pressure on myself.

As I write this I also realize, that while becoming famous, receiving glory, or becoming rich wasn’t one of my goals when I started I would take any of the three. I would deal with my internal pressure to generate excellent work. I’m not going to lose any sleep over it but isn’t it important to have a dream?

Now, to start down that road to fame and fortune. I can only achieve this by getting out there and creating the best photographic art I can. Join me, let’s create beautiful art, and if you become famous and rich before me, congratulations I’m proud of you.
