Day Five : Project Published : Seven Days

Day five was a big pit of depression, actually. You know - You think that if you send out about fifty emails to different types of publisher folk that you'd maybe get a response? Any response?... Just a "Yes, we've received your email, but we can't use your work at the moment" - No, not one... Not a word...

So, Starting to lose hope!

Should you lose hope? No, of course not... Hell No! I read a small article by a photo editor recently, he mentioned that he might receive one hundred emails a day asking him to "publish their work" A lot of the time it's just a lucky strike, if you will... He sits with a coffee and opens your email, he likes it - you're published. So, why lose hope - you could have an email under his mouse sometime soon!... Or not?

Well, yeah... I was standing about with a big crew of photographers the other night and they were mostly "freelance" So, you have these guys that are "pro" freelance type fellas, they're going to know how to get right to those magazines / newspapers.. So, that's something you will come to learn I guess? As you progress with your photography and your approach to the people that you want to have your photos.

So, a down day, day five - but hey, everyone has them, right?
