I am finally free of the news paper as my main commitment.

What does this mean?

Income is now patchy and lower, but my everyday process for image making is much closer to my ideal. I am an introvert who has evolved methods of workable extroversion, but I am an introvert none the less.

For me, image making is very much a matter of immersion, patience and observation. I have found, especially lately, that by projecting my introverted, non aggressive personality, I can get images from people with little overt interaction. With thirty odd years of sales, teaching and cold contact interaction, I have the tools I need to go into any situation, but the true me is still there.

Staging images, breaking my concentration to get names, being obvious and controlling are not me. Never will be, but I have proven I can do it when I need to.
