@rhiannonlit I worked as a barista and bartender for a year before landing a FOH position at a museum on a casual basis. It took 6 more months before I got a proper contract for the same role and could cut three jobs down to two. I also volunteered at a local gallery alongside all the jobs.
So The British Journal of Photography sold out its twitter account with 250000 followers into a NFT marketing account called 'art3'.
They started a new account for photography. Which has 836 followers.
And in doing so destroyed their reputation and reach.
The past year was one of the hardest ones in my life for quite some time, as I know it has for many others as well. Over the past month I have been trying to refocus my mind from the struggles I had to go through to the accomplishments I still managed to make. Despite everything.
There are free resources here to help. You are stronger than you think, you are worthier than you think, and you will not feel this way forever. You can get through this.
@emilylovesparis I have a "sun alarm clock" to cope in the mornings. You set the time and the "sun" starts 30min before the set time, finishing with bright "sunlight". There are patterns on the back of the lamp to simulate sunrays as an extra perk as well.
@hari_adivarekar@amolitor99 Thank you. I also admired his work when I started out with photography. I think that really highlights how successful the marketing of HCB has been though. TDM has become a textbook to be referred to within almost any photographic genre, Bair unpacks this really well in her work.
@amolitor99@hari_adivarekar Her article highlights the large network of people and the collective work that went into promoting Henri Cartier-Bresson as an artist and his photography as art within the publication of the publication of The Decisive Moment.
