Being a Vintage/Pin Up/ Art Photographer is hard

So I dig shooting pinups and I love creating a vintage look and feel in what i shoot. What makes me nuts is the fly by trend photogs who call something a pin up or a vintage image when its not. Loads of those in Orange County. I mean loads of them. I hear people talking and then when they see an actual vintage image, they look shocked..what a oddball world.

So now i find myself trying to figure out a few how to this and thats

How market what I do. How to reach people who like what I do.

I gotta read more and gotta crack the magic trick that helps make it work. I think it's do-able.  Elsewhere on the web, I was chit chatting with another shooter about work flow and how and why etc. Out of that came a before and after....

Suddenly I'm feeling like the little engine that could... now to reach people and get some paying clients...

Hey, the title of the blog has mildly amusing- not uproariously hilarious but i'm still getting my groove going..i dunno, if antyone does read this, leave a note cause, you know, just cause.

Insomnia is killing me. That plus, you know being unemployed blows.

Gunna try and see if making pretty pictures has a life in it...all things are possible right...
