Oooh, website stuff.
After not really feeling in the mood to work on new images for my site, I felt a spurt of creativity and uploaded new galleries to it. Some time this week I may actually purchase my own domain name as the current url is a bit shite.
On a seperate note I've been a bit unwell latley and my depression has caused all kinds of problems and I've done some really stupid things to myself as a stupid coping mechanism, but have now discovered this to be a stupid way of coping and so have seeked out professional help for how I feel. I've found that talking about my problems has really helped and I hope to be getting better, but this isn't going to happen overnight as it has been a problem for a very long time.
Also had an interview this week with a French company who absolutley hated my work. I was a bit pissed off but also happy they disliked it as I was fooled by the advert for a "reportage/social photographer", what they didn't feel the need to point out was this actually ment "wedding photographer". Having done this for almost a year and not really enjoying it I was glad they disliked it, besides I already have a few contacts within that industry who were more than happy to give me work knowing I try to work to a high standard. I am still waiting on responses from a few other possibles and may apply as a freelancer to a couple of places, it's tough but I'm getting through.
I feel the need to be social again, so it would be cool to know if anything is happening so I can get out the house for a couple of hours.
