    I always come back to this video because I find this guy really genuine and inspiring. I like how he has those 3 rules but also how he didn’t jump into commercial work before establishing himself artistically. A lot of people would take their chances for the money not really thinking about anything else

    i vaguely remember being really young just sitting at my aunts house, i was super bored because for any seven year old child sitting on a couch with no cable is really boring, but from a really young age i had always been into art and pictures. i remember seeing one of david lachapelles portrait books and just being so fascinated and at a young age too. not many seven year olds are into that kind of stuff lol but i was. i have an uncle that recently passed away, he knew david for a really long time which their friendship didnt end very well. in that time i loved and still love his artwork to today. im now 15 and i do photography myself, i hope to pursue this as a career. i really love doing it and just having something to hold, something that reminds me of my uncle on a daily basis. some people may think of photography as a "hobby" or a "fad" but i truly believe that if you can find something, take a picture of it, and make it into art my dear friends, thats a passion.
