So I have been scared out of my wits because I seriously want to follow my dreams. I want to start a digital magazine that features locals with a splash of non-local artists I have come to really admire over the years. I really want to get more involved in my local art community and just the community in general. This is my way to get more involved. My local art scene has some great painters, digital artists, and songwriters. I currently don’t have my camera. Had to sell it to pay my bills. But I told myself when I get enough money to buy my equipment, I will start my project… So I’m getting very close to purchasing my camera and lens, and it’s getting real lol. I’m scared but also excited!

Have any of you guys had this feeling?

    Damn straight. I agreed to go to business school because my dad paid, but semi-secretly took every photo class they had as an elective.

    I tried the business world for a few years, hated it, and quit, selling everything I owned to go to commercial photo school. I darn near starved to death.

    Now I own my own company and everything is fine, and I wake up and do exactly what I love. But it was a struggle.
