Doug Menuez in Editorial Photo:
“Show the work you want to get” …
… if you have chosen to show work other than the purist version of your creative vision then whatever jobs do come in will be based on that work.
… They are not challenging themselves creatively because they did not give themselves permission to be who they are as photographers in the first place. … But by defining what you show based on what you truly are and what you want to do, you create a self-selection process: you are not for everyone. You are different. Be courageous enough to show that you see in a way no one else does..
Holds true for anyone that creates, regardless of medium.

True :) It's great then that we, if finding ourselves on the wrong side, can choose to climb over.

“But by defining what you show based on what you truly are and what you want to do, you create a self-selection process: you are not for everyone. You are different. Be courageous enough to show that you see in a way no one else does..” I love this part. Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna save that in a word doc or something and remind myself about it everyday.

Maybe: but out West you can get shot over invading someone's property :)
