the journey is the reward | Thursday Mar 27, 2008
Hello my friends!
As I mentioned the other day I have some exciting news. Where do I start? Well, let's try it like this: As you might know, I studied business administration some years ago and since then I'm working as a controller / financial accountant for industry companies. Pretty boring job, you might say. Well, actually it is. But, that was the one life. You might also have noticed that I'm very passionated about photography since a few years. I spend almost every free minute in taking, processing, sharing and selling photos and learning everything about photography. Often I even sleep too less. That is my other life. During the last months I got really unhappy with my regular job (in general, this had nothing to do with the company I was working for) and I realized that business administration isn't the thing I want to do for life and for a living. The wish to live out my passion for photography and for beeing a better photographer and maybe for beeing a professional photographer grew stronger every day.
A few weeks ago I resigned my job and yesterday I had my last day as a controller. From April on I will only live one life. Horray!! :) Maybe I get more sleep then. Or less than ever! :o
I know that hard times will come and that it will take some time to gain a foothold in the photography business. But I want it. And I will make it. For a start I'm going to work as a self-employed photographer. In summer I'll start working in a studio for advertising photography and will do a photographer internship. That's it.
More news? OK. I'm in negotiation with a local art gallery that wants to print and sell my photos online and offline. I'll give you more infos when I made the deal.
Even more news? My personal website http://pabst-photo.de is back online with a new layout (wordpress).

Well, that will do. Thank you for your attention. Have a nice day. :)

I did the same - in November of 1990. I have never looked back! I wish you the best of luck in following your passion! You do beautiful work - I am sure you will make a place for yourself in the visual arts world.
All the best
