I tested it here first — you’ll see the tweet in the upper right corner of post…
But now for the first time I put the ability to tweet in the PHOTOGRAPHY STORE. You can now TWEET an individual image from the store. This is of course useful to me for obvious reasons.
Here’s an example from the store – what it looks like IN ACTION.
I’ve done enough today; and it’s hot enough outside; that I think I deserve my afternoon nap.
Oh, there’s what tweet looks like in the store… LET’S PICK A GOOD ONE. Oh, yeah, this one from France is my current “make me happy” print.
THE STORE TWEET WIDGET ON ONE POST
It just is. It reminds me of a painting from my old psychiatrist’s office that I’d stare at for the fifteen minutes I’d spend waiting for him. He was always late. But it was worth it.
Those were in the days when I could afford an east side psychiatrist (I was in el corporate world). I used to go twice a week ($175 ea).
All artists should be able to see psychiatrists at least once a week.
Now I can only afford to see him every few months. He was especially good, I think, with creative people. How many hours we spent as I was trying to get myself ready to leave the safety of the big corporate job. How many metaphors. How much pain and fear about being poverty stricken. And then when I was able (with his help) to make the leap – I could no longer – irony of ironies – no longer afford him; but I also didn’t need him, at least not in the crisis mode way.
I gave him a print of Night Storm the last time I saw him on a regular basis. I should have charged him $175 for it. (Just kidding… I think).
But seeing a shrink quite often helped me open up; And now you can tweet this blog post, if you want to about photographers and the need for them to see shrinks. Now on the other hand - if I was devotedly religious, I might have seen a priest, or a rabbi or a zen master for substantially less money; though they usually want donations, don’t they?









Funny, I’ve been visiting a shrink for a couple of years in anticipation of leaving my corporate job to pursue something more creative.
My last day at corporate will be in August, as will the last day I will visit my therapist since I will no longer be able to afford it. I’ve been fighting the fear of leaving a stable, albeit boring cubicle job for a while now. Sometimes you just have to leave in order to keep your sanity. As a programmer, I have my experience and can always pick up work on the side. Perhaps I should go back to school to become a psychologist for creative types who want to leave corporate jobs. Sounds like a good niche market.
No matter what happens, it’s a good move. If you can’t make it financially then you can always know that you tried and that you can try again.
It took me several attempts before it worked. No regrets. At least not in the cosmic sense.
You can bitch and moan as u do but I wouldn’t go back to that world for anything.
Good luck.
