Like you, I am unemployable, having been self employed for 20 some years. I typically get these frustrations on a regular basis. It was just that these came all at once while other clients were slow paying, quarterly taxes are due (today), my stock agency (FPG) was recently bought by an English conglomerate and I'm not sure where things are going but I can't imagine the photographers benefiting, and younger daughter had called about university tuition fee additions, and so on. Usually I am pretty numb to it all and just move on. BTW, I love where you live. A beautiful spot. Was there this summer. My favorite client is nearby in Arlington--US Marine that makes Bayliner, Maxum and so on. I was on Whidbey once in the spring and once this last summer on two different trips to Arlington. I'd love to know who the Black Star shooter was/is. I am considering contacting them for representation. I am wanting to get back to more and more editorial and they have ways to market essays plus stock to magazines and textbooks and they can probably get me good corporate assignments to fund the rest. Harrison McClarry on the LUG is a Black Star shooter as is Fred Ward (though he is off the LUG currently and has been traveling). Guess now I have an excuse next time I'm in Arlington to take a trip to Whidbey. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
