Iris Wasabi Photography: Music + Photography = Life/Love/My Job

I've been thinking a lot lately as to what it means to "have a job." Is having a job something you can do alongside a career? See, my main career is and always will be Photo Journalist. No matter what, that is what I do. Now if I take a job at Fotech or Me N Eds Pizza, does that mean I've given up my career?

Id like to think it doesn't mean that. Do I really want to work a retail job? Not really, but the economy is so bad, I even gave back the non-refundable deposits on my cancellations last month because I felt deep down in my heart it was the thing to do. Sure I have to take on a day job to afford contacts and to pay rent and cell phone bills. But that really doesn't mean any less on someones status of how well they execute their professional "career".

Wow, what a rant. In closing I guess I'll say I don't feel too bad, I have not gone bankrupt like the amazing Annie Leibovitz ..... yet. Haha.
