It's been a while since I last posted, and I feel like I haven't really had much to say lately because day-to-day stuff has become a little bit routine. But really, I guess if I think about it, nothing in Chicago has become routine yet. I'm working at REI Northbrook right now and adjusting well, but really I'm trying to get photo work with talent around town. I've been applying and interviewing for jobs like crazy, and it just never seems to end. Routine: check craigslist in the morning, sift through tons of crap to find one good listing. Send cover letter and resume. Wait. Check emails for replies. No new replies. Wait. Check emails one last time before going to bed- nothing. Wake up, see a new batch of craigslist postings...send out cover letter and resume...rinse and repeat. I've finally snagged a few good interviews with photographers who have all been mostly positive, but I'm not sure I'm a good fit with some of them. My most promising one yet offered me a job as a photo assistant, but technically it's a freelance position, so it could fall out whenever they're out of work. I think I'm going to take it though, since it offers not only the best money of all the jobs, but this is a big agency with an 80,000sq ft studio, lots of clients, and tons of chances to gain experience. Fingers crossed, I could move up fast into a shooting position.
Tomorrow is my day to rest and go find some more photos to shoot. The top is one I started last week and just completed tonight. Not sure what it means...but I'm sure I'll find an excuse to make more like it.
