We have given notice on our house for the end of April. That is commitment. Now, I need to find work in Windhoek, whether it be full-time employment or continuing as a freelance. I will most likely try to stay in the videography/editing/film field. At least in Windhoek I have more prospects at advancement of my skills and opportunities. My photography will most likely stay on the back-burner. Like any bigger city, there is a lot of stiff competition; some established, some establishing. And, of course, prices so low that I cannot compete. An example of this is a website that is looking for freelance events photographers. The place 50 photos on their site and pay you N$2.50 per photograph. Copyright questions I had were not answered.
Still, I am personally exicted about the prospect of real opportunity to move ahead, a concept that has become hard to envision here at the coast. Only, I am having a mild bout of acrophobia - that's my way of saying that I have a fear of succeeding. But I am determined to overcome it and to seize every opportunity that allows me to grow artistically, creatively, business-wise and professionally.
So, the plan to move towards pro photography, though not over with, has found itself currently stalled...
