Working Away
By Spender | August 22, 2008
I finally got a couple freelance jobs!! But not in Europe.
Some former clients of mine asked if I could come back and do some work for them next month. September has been lining up to be a busy month with trips planned and visitors coming, however, two opportunities presented themselves and now I have to choose between going on Saver’s work retreat at the beach or two weeks of work. Considering I’ve had no weeks of work, it’s not really a hard choice but I did pause and wonder if it was worth buying a $1000 plane ticket in order to make $2500-3000. Saver gave the decision perspective when she asked if I’d pay $1000 to go on the retreat with her. Yeah, probably not at this point.
My local job hunting effort to find something photography related is not going completely unnoticed (although it feels like it most days). I’ve been contacting publications which I could shoot for as well as photographers who might need assistants. After contacting twelve photographers last week, I actually heard back from one, telling me he’d add me to his assistant list. I also heard from a magazine editor sharing his interest in my work but nothing has materialized from either contact thus far. I’m going to keep knocking on doors here but I’m now brainstorming how I could find more opportunities in or from the US. Either way I’m learning ‘fun’ realities of being a freelancer.
