I am not a good student. I say that because writing this is just another form of procrastination as I am supposed to be reading 120 pages on the business of photography. School, well, school and I don't really get along. And right now, as the internet is changing the face of the media, jobs are rare, money is in the hands of few, and aspiring photo-journalists are feeling discouraged.
Once, I emailed on of my favorite snowboard photographers, Dano Peddygrass, for advice on how to make my life into that of a glamours snowboard photographer. He told me not to.
Blogs are the future newspapers. News will be opinon, and most of it avaliable at the touch of the fingertips. Maybe I'll stop trying non-fiction and write that romance novel that will turn me into an overnight success.
So please, if you are reading this blog, buy a newspaper tomorrow morning. Sit in your local coffee shop, sip a latte, eavsedrop on peoples conversations (you don't have to admit that you actually do) and read the comics, horoscopes, and sudkos. Newspapers are romantic. Fall in love with them all over again.
