Endless trap is a great description. I'm currently debating whether I should send out a series of postcards versus a series of accordion pieces vs not even doing them at all. -Steve Skoll “…the endless trap of promotional mailers. all photographers do them, though i still find that most photo editors and art directors don’t really care too much.”

I feel like I should be either blogging myself, or taking more pictures for myself, or both. I think we all put too much pressure on our own work, and that can make leisure pictures feel like work, too. Who knows what would happen if we treated our off-duty pictures like snapshots. well said, Max. I feel like I should be either blogging myself, or taking more pictures for myself, or both.
