The end of my photography dream

Journal Entry: Thu May 15, 2008, 11:32 AM
  • Mood: Defeated
Today I reaceived a letter from Social Affairs telling me I have to find work in an other way. Again I will have to switch, and again I invested a lot of money from my social welfare allowance in something that could have generated income for nothing.

This time they want me to get into a subsidized job, so I am no longer allowed to take pictures in daytime and cannot accept further photo-shoots. Photography however will stay my hobby, which I now only can do in the evening and weekends.

I feel very sad about this :cries:, for I really really like to do this, and saw good chances to eventually generate an income from it. And also I had hardly any problems with my handicap doing it (I have problems with my knees, and walk with a cane)
I cannot sit long, stand long, walk long, but doing the shoots some did not evel feel I had an handicap

What they want me to do now is not yet clear "But we will find something for you to fill your day with" So I just have to wait and see what they want me to do next.
I just hope it is not just something for over the holiday period only, to keep the jobless from the street or to make sure they do not take time to relax like previous years.

I had great fun in photography, and think I improved, but it now came to an abrubt halt. :cries:
Photography however may not become my profession, it will stay my hobby.

There's this disease called the freeway disease. It's when stupid, myopic and corrupt urban planners subscribe to this byzantine cult of road-worship - embarking on a journey of gridlock, road accidents, pollution, obesity, sprawl and social deprivation.
