Strapless Dress Rant

	Re: Strapless Dress Rant by Mark Suszko on Sep 17, 2009 at 4:33:13 pm Aaron, I'm beginning to think you really don't like this job. When you hate what you're doing, it becaimes harder to do it well. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Strapless Dress Rant by Mark Suszko on Sep 17, 2009 at 9:45:30 pm Maybe so, but I read it in the greater overall context of your recent body of posts. I was just doing it for money, for a time, and I found I really wasn't happy just doing it for money, not in the long run, and not for the trade-off in lost weekend family time and the incredible stress of it. So I got out of it, found something else. If this part of the biz is not really your bag, maybe you *should* look at other options anyhow, because the thing is, there's a glut of people doing the work, depressing profits. To excel, over the long haul, and to command a price that makes it all worth it, that makes a *living* from it, you have to stand apart. That means superior gear, superior talent, and superior effort, in execution as well as marketing. You can't sustain that kind of commitment if you don't love it, if it is not in your blood and bone to do this. There's no shame in that. What you have to do then, is find another part of the biz that really turns you on, some part of it that you love so much, you'd be doing it for free in your off hours, if you weren't doing it for money. There's a niche out there in this business for just about everybody, and new ones being created by imaginative folks all the time. That IMO is the thing to shoot for, a job you create for yourself, because it will not just make you a living, it will make you happy while living. So many of us forget that part of it. Sorry to get so personal, guess this was my "kanye moment" for today. I'll butt out now. Peace-out. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Strapless Dress Rant by Mike Cohen on Oct 4, 2009 at 9:07:55 pm I am always amused when the bride, strapless or not, is seen on camera grinding with the groomsmen. I realize they all probably hung out in college, but show some respect ladies - this is your wedding. Maybe a "what not to do on your wedding" video would be a good seller for one of you guys to make. I have done exactly 2 weddings and it will stay at 2 if I can help it.
