Being an artist, or any human for that matter, there will be many ups and downs in life. Last night I received an email from a prospective wedding client saying that another photog was offering a better deal on payment plans. To be honest I was a bit discouraged as I had already come down on my price for her as I felt that with this client I would get more out of the pure love of the art than making serious profits on the job. At any rate, I got over it. Wrote her back and said that I understand that cushion is needed in this recession and bid her farewell and happy journeys.
An hour later I was in bed watching Karate Kid, the original, which I felt was quite fitting. Daniel San never gave up with the support of his mentor mixed with the pure fight in his soul. This reminded me that when one door closes, do not fret for another shall open. It is up to me to walk through!
That door opened this morning as I opened my email to find that I had sold a print on Fine Art America. Rock on.
Never give up or feel like one down will hold you. As the saying goes there is always ups and downs, not just ups and not just downs.
