I’ve been thinking about hanging up the camera. Shooting girls the past couple of years has been super fun; challenging, rewarding, definitely another feather in my cap, but I’m feeling like it’s almost time to move on.
A photographer I know (here’s looking at you Nic Mesker) is also going through similar motions. Nic has let his fans know and they’re replying with suggestions that he’s too good to quit (and that he’s silly and should keep on shooting).
He ‘could’, sure! But ‘should’? I’m not so sure. If you’re not into it anymore, stop and move on, it’s as easy as that! If anything I feel damn sorry for people who do what they do only because others expect them to do it, or they feel like they have to stay in their jobs because of all the time and energy they’ve put in to get to where they’re at today.
Life’s short, drop the expectations and insecurities, looking forward to seeing what Nic does next! (myself too!).
