Crusade For Your Art

Congrats everyone! It's crunch time!

I quickly read the book, it was a fairy easy read on the kindle app. ($10 on Amazon)

It's similar with the "Art/Work" book that we're reading for senior show, where it speaks about

the art world realities and gives wonderful tips.

It pinpointed many of the conversations we've had in Photo Seminar 1, about how many photos,

when to move on, and how to distant yourself from your work.

I think since it's the start of many of our professional careers, we tend to have a sentimental story behind every photo we take, so it complicates our bias views when choosing many photos. (Especially me with the "Success" series!!!) 

What I enjoy most about both books is that it does not sugar coat life after college/instruction. I think many people (of course not you guys) believe that once you graduate, you'll find a job. It explains that you become your own marketer, accountant, PR, social media, have some knowledge in graphic design, networker, everything else in the beginning (unless you're $$$). 

One thing I favor this book over "Art/Work" is that there's no DO's and DON'Ts. With the rapid change in today's technology and different approaches, this book just gives advices and suggestions that you can take along.

I switched from a biology path to this art journey knowing that after graduating, I'm not going to be guaranteed a job as easy compared to a bio degree. With anything I read about art, just put your heart and soul into it, and make it a passion. Congrats to everyone, I hope we all keep in touch since it's only the beginning of this new world of ours!
