Someone pointed me towards this old video that Zack Arias did, regarding the life, career and motivation of a photographer. I don’t really follow his blog as much as I should… he’s got a lot of good tips and stories, he shoots similar things for similar clients… heck, he’s even the same age as I am, give or take a few months. Anyway, you might see a little of yourself in this video (oh, the first minute or so is just a silly skit. He gets into the real philosophy of photography around the minute and a half mark). It gets a little cheesy and cliche at moments, but listen to the real message and tell me if you agree:
Dallas, TX based photographer
