Now THERE'S something worthwhile
An Irish whistle player. If you get good you'll never starve! Practice,
Practice.... 6 hours a day for a year is all it takes plus of course
listening to a mountain of Irish music. Sell a 5D and you can buy one in
every key and even have money left over to eat for the year of practice.

I bought a penny whistle at the Irish Fest here in Kansas City a couple
weeks ago. I think I'll try to get some gigs playing it at weddings. Ha ha
ha ha!

What I love about professional photographers is their sense of
entitlement. It would stun a Pharoh. It's hilarious.
I get a lot of lucky shots and, honestly, my degree isn't worth the
paper its printed on. My experience is a hit and miss business. I'm on
the street like a newbie and often the newbie will get the job instead
of me. They'll have a so-so baseball player pic in the portfolio and the
client wants a baseball player shot. My beautiful pictures of cricket
players only serves to illustrate that I can't shoot baseball players.
But I remember being a newbie and getting breaks and the way it made me
high so I just smile at the memory. The newbie will do the job without
an assistant and without $20 000.00 lighting. But he might have the
necessity and spunk to think of a new way to do it and come up with a
new and fresh image.
The profession's dying. The need for it is dying. Maybe it was never of
any value in the first place. "Professional".... hahahaaaa.... what are
we, brain surgeons?
