"Choose your own adventure", the slogan that maps this chapter's photographic journey. This section takes you through the different ways that you as a photographer can market yourself and your work in the photo world. Publication and museums were just a few options mentioned that can become options for photographers looking to further their work. As this section starts out, you must choose your own adventure and craft your own journey. Having an idea of where you as an artist wants to go is very important for an artists growth. The plans and goals you set for yourself are there to guide you as you move forward and continue creating work. In my experience not all plans and goals I have set for myself go according to the original plan, this was definitely evident for me and my photo journey this semester. For me, being able to know my limitations as a photographer is important, and when I understand what I can accomplish I'm able to create work that I'm proud of. This semester, goals that I set for myself didn't quite meet their marks, resulting in a lapse of questioning where to go next. As I've come to realize, this is normal, and also a part of the adventure for a photographer. Plans and goals constantly change, but being able to adapt and move forward so that new goals and plans can be created and met is what photography is all about.
