Money Fuels Art

It completely drives me nuts when the only thing keeping me from creating these awesome photo series is money! I had a client lined up for a photo shoot, would have been $300 in my pocket, totally enough to get started on my series "Interior Landscapes". My fucking photo portfolio disappeared in the move. I spent four hours going through my storage space, it appears to have vanished. Granted its not enough to produce the entire series but its enough to get started and more than anything that's what I need right now. I'm reading this God awesome book called the business of being an artist. Do yourself a favor and read it if you get a chance, the kindle version is only 99¢. The next book on my reading list is "The Profitable Artist" and then I'm going to read "Untitled:Thoughts on the Creative Process". The first book is teaching me the things I wish I'd learned in school. I'm learning so many things about the art business that I didn't even know there was to learn. The big thing I want to learn about from both the first and second books is about funding for artists. It really doesn't do me too much good to learn how to sell the work till I've gotten it made. Unfortunately I'm not French so I can't type vague descriptions on note cards and call it photography.
