Last Friday, Frances and I met to talk about a business venture we’ve been planning to do and I’m honestly excited to start.
What’s nice about Frances is the way we are both able to share ideas equally. Years in the university has taught us how to effectively work with one another to get the best results. In fact, I think out of everyone I’ve ever worked with back then, she’s the one person I can always have an honest output with. Maybe because we both know each other’s strengths or maybe because we know how we both think. I’m always amazed at how we brainstorm because we always come up with ideas that are so much better than my original thought.
I’m also excited because Frances finally gave me the opportunity to do something I’ve always wanted to do, and that’s sell my photo prints. I’m excited to see if people will actually want to spare a few and buy my prints and if they do, how enthusiastic are they to do so.
Overall, I think I’m also excited because I’ve been dreaming to earn a living from photography and I feel like this might be my chance to start. I’m not saying I’ll be selling framed works that will cost the buyer thousands nor am I expecting someone to buy my prints and ask me to sign them (yes, I’ll be selling unsigned prints). I won’t be numbering them either. I’m not delusional. I know I’m not a famous photographer. I’m simply a street photography enthusiast and I’d like to make a couple of extra cash and maybe even get my name out there.
However, I’m wary about getting my hopes up. The last time I was excited about something, it turned out to be one of those ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ moments again. Hopefully, things will be different next time.
To ventures!
Someone Anxious.
