Wow. My day turned out dramatically different to what I had expected. Not long after I last posted my partner called. A friend of his who has a high end restaurant needed someone to photograph $80000 worth of paintings so he can sell them. I was so exhausted and indifferent I almost said no.

The deal is that if this man sells the paintings I could get up to 5% of the profits. I am sceptical and won’t get my hopes up, but they are legitimately expensive, and my partner vouches for his character. It could bring in $1-4000.

The shoot took me around five hours, and the editing around eight hours. Plus spending time talking more business with this man. In the end I either cover my bills for months or at least have had a great opportunity to hone my photography skills and branch out my connections.

It is midnight now and I’m wired but exhausted. What a change. I almost canceled all my known plans this morning as I was tired and down. I loved working again. Paid or not, it’s been a great experience.
