I could go into some long winded tirade against nz media or stupid concert promoters but I won't. I'm done. I can't handle this rejection any more. Music and music photography was my

Dude, if this is what you love don't give up. Never give up, just cause people are putting you down, if I listened to everyone who told me I sucked, I would have given up ages ago. I love to draw so I kept at it and now I have stopped sucking and reached mediocre lol

New Zealand is a nepotistic hole, people just have to learn to work around it.

That really, really sucks. Unfortunately, that's just the way the world works sometimes. Real passion is never appreciated when you aren't the one sucking the promoter's cock. I never saw a particular art form to live music photography...until I saw your work. You're brilliant at it because of your love for the music. Have you ever thought of getting a degree in photo-journalism? It SUCKS you need a piece of paper to prove to these assholes that you can do what you do, but sometimes it's the only way.

that really sucks, its retarded how its who you know not what you know in the entertainment industry.
New Zealand is the land of no-opportunity.
dont give up on your passion, give up on new zealand, unless you're prepared to do some serious schmoozing!
