I have a lot of myself invested in my photography. It used to be that I did it or myself, but the time has come where I need to start justifying all the expense in time and money, and it's payback time. I simply cannot afford just plunking down cash, plunking down cash, you get the drift. I have to have a return or it will literally become an unsustainable pursuit for me. Either I sell some prints and continue, or print for others, charge for it and continue. Or I don't and stop.
So far things have come pretty easily for me, but in this day and age when economy is slowing down, I really fear not selling enough, and that would be a failure for me. A huge failure. I constantly have to troll for the cheap and expired film. I try really hard not to spend too much money on photographic paper so I can balance the sheets some day.
That is pressure, and I work very very hard not to fail. But I am afraid of it, because it means I would have to stop or slow down significantly with the art that I love so much.
