photographer's life is difficult, it is difficult as what!!! Lere, Lere, Lere ... lolo Barnabas alive!
My online disappearances are more constant than I want to happen ... Yeah ... I was even talking to Leo Caobelli, the Collective Garapa and he suggested I write a post about it and it really takes. Navigating is necessary, living is not necessary, but you must pay the bills demaisssssssss!!! For God's sake! Anyway, I decided to write ... Come on! Surely you have already agreed and said one day, the day is going even faster than yesterday, why huh?? Much to do, solve, deal, worth paying ... see next post I write here and the blog of Paraty in Focus on an interesting concept about the speed at Flavio Pinheiro, Executive Superintendent of the Instituto Moreira Salles who spoke in a lecture the last SP Photo-Art , held at Iguatemi in Sao Paulo at the end of last week: "The future is speed and speed is the main ally of amnesia." I could not tell if the thought was him or someone else but no matter, what matters is the intention to say something good for exercising the judgment.
So ... there it sits next story!
Imagine! Birth of a "supposed" financial crisis, after a year of hospital and atribuladíssimo atordoações aluviadoras mind (mine). So ... A crisis came, many "dealers" of the photographic market and related editorial assimilated as already established in the country, even though she has not even hit the door at that moment one of his. Ready! "Let's stop going to hire or dismiss some profit to stay in and then when the crisis comes we will be well on the tape and do not need to worry." A reasoning (?) Almost unanimous!
So, a lot happens ... He is a son to care for, regard is to pay, is husband to help a friend so devoid of people and economies, is a photographer with no money too, is a photographer living pretending to be in money, is a photographer who is earning well (uebaaaaaaaaa!!), is the market to do is travel to confirm, is to wear clothes, is to fix the roof, is to have internet, cell phone is for credit, is a washing machine breaking, whew ... Lose Weight this process is routine to bar ... No! And in the same rhythm, assumptions and rules that make the new born a photographer to be more balanced and more time, not to say the opposite.
CCDA, invented something that says, contract assignment of copyright, a role that the photographer gets every time he does some work for magazines and / or newspapers and / or the like that causes it to CEDA, GIVE, MAKE PHILANTHROPY , DOE finally amiss to say here, but I gladly OFERTE all rights to your photo and then the editors sell their photos to the left and the right to place everything on the planet without a centavinho pay you for it.
Finally, to exit this market is very addictive and addicted to impose good! It is necessary! And when we started getting good, because it is a huge step up in the profession. And that step! But this process began to work to deny, deny, pay bills this way, it hurts in the pocket.
Imagine a roof of his house literally falling when you're riding with your office, with a son to leave school, go to the market to buy something for lunch from school and remember that the money did not come into account yet because the publisher will only X paid after 60 DAYS after you made that picture editors that both wept for you to do that day and that hour and that way (!!) ... And that way!
Much and too little right? If we think ... depends on how we act on the weather ... Storms beyond the hinterland of Cariri, there paradoxically joining the flood of Noah ...
But what is life worth, is pretty and beautiful is not it? Especially in the eyes of a producer of clippings, visions, dreams, aesthetic as a photographer. The good humor bring fresh ideas and creativity, and calm ...
And let it go that this is only the beginning of a long and arduous, but well, sometimes even late, happy journey ... But a disciplined administratively and is complicated to handle. Happen the same way the good things all together: conference, lecture, good work, study, master's, art gallery, contacts abroad, but also has the same time: child crying, moving house, rain flooding, exploding wire pole and his head together ... Whoa there, Vixe maria! And in search of the manual of 1000 ways of how to be beautiful and wonderful and pay the bills right!!
Finish line ... Let's go to the game again ...
What matters is return with calm ... And we're coming back, even if it is a bit slow or speed is not always our best ... right? Enlightening ... At least we do not suffer amnesia one day. Or simply just do not think that memory is something we have to have the most on your computer in order to work right.
There is a wonderful children's book of great, simple and smart writer and illustrator, Eva Furnari called Lolo Barnabas . (See the link that has all the history of the book. It is worthwhile to read!). It is one of my favorite books. It's on my list of best books. Talk about consumption and how we are his slaves, but also tells about how we can deal and the best way to extract the benefits and glories (?) That he brings.
Good written and visual readings!
