Job Hunting

For all of you that may know, I recently graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Arts, Emphasis in Photography and my minor in Theater. This was back in December, and since then I have been trying to find my way in life after college. Who would have thought that things would be so hard to adjust to, and the change in atmosphere would have been so different. Since Graduation, I feel I haven't accomplished much, and I am almost about to hit my year mark. What I have done is, Read a lot, watch a lot of TV online, and move around a lot. I started working for my Grandma and Grandpa Johnson, just working in their yard, and fixing up some things. They are so good to me, and pay me $10 an hour, and include lunch. So this year, I have painted their gate, pillars, and center drive circle thing. Not really sure what it is called, but it looks a lot better. I also go by and do weekly house cleaning chores for them. Other than that, I couldn't really find any work. I did find a lady that seemed really into my work, and I felt it was the perfect job opportunity for me. Although, sad to say, I didn't receive the job, because I hadn't received any Graphic Design experience. So that was my strike one. Who would have thought that a photography major needed to take Graphic Design classes before graduating. I wish I would have known, so I could be working in that studio right now. But I guess that that is not what the Lord had in store for me. So the next step was to continue looking for work. I am not a wedding photographer, I do have to say that is the hardest and most nerve racking part/job of being a photographer. I tried to help Jason Lanier's photo company out, and be a second photographer for him. But the lens that was given to me was new to me, and i had no tripod, so I had no idea of how to really control it, since I hadn't had prior experience with such a long lens. And I am extremely shaky. Not sure why really, but I am, so a tripod would have really helped me out. Anyways, I took the worst photos ever, and I am sure that was a great big step out of the door instead of in.
