THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE


It has been a weird month. For one thing, getting used to juggling being a photographer with working a desk job a few days a week. Getting used to having less time to make work---requiring that much more organization.


Had some exciting things happen---interviews, possible sales---and some sad things happen---a show I was spending hours on to curate was cancelled at the 9th hour, effectively deeming void all of the hard work I and 14 artists had been putting in to make the deadline.


Even though I do get tired of hearing, sometimes, about the balance necessary to maintain life as an artist, it really is so very true. And this is a challenge I find myself in now: how do I fit in exercise, shoots, applying to shows, on top of working 4 days a week... There is no easy answer of course, and this week I struggle to figure it out.
