I am a creative and I have a dream. Now, at the age of 53, I am
endeavoring to start a new career. A career that I have been practicing for all
of my life. Photography. I know, I know you've heard it all before. Making
money as a photographer is somewhat akin to making money as a musician. Your
either broke or you are a rock star with untold millions. With broke being the
most likely. And hey, don't get me wrong, I would love to make rock star
millions as a photographer. But my main goal really is to create great
relationships and great art. To photograph and capture people for the sake of
history. Preserving images of ordinary people for future generations. And thus
creating art in the process. Photographing them in such a way that they will
not be forgotten for generations to come. So, with that said I think I can
funnel this down to three words. People, Art, and Money. Can I say that again?
People, Art, and Money!

If I had a bank account that received a weekly deposit from a
trust fund then I would spend my days taking photographs, traveling the world
looking for relationships to build my portfolios to create books, to promote
gallery shows, mass share on the net. Always attempting to improve, and sharing
with everyone the people I have met and the things that I have seen. That folks,
as a creative, is my dream. Not really an original dream, but along with many
other creative's out there, it is mine. 

Alas, since I don't have a trust fund I will have to adapt my
dream. Today, and probably many times into the future as I attempt to travel
into my new photographic artist career. Well almost new. 

So, a very long so, how do I do it? What plan can I create? How
can I move forward with it and make it fit my dream as much as possible? Well so
far, I'm working the net. Looking for subjects, taking pictures, and promoting
my results. (Pimpin'!) But I think I need to move on up to my next level.  What is at that level for me? Don't
know. But I'm looking. Looking hard. Suggestions? 
Thanks for reading,
Dave Sova
