Tonight, I have my interview with a wedding photography studio to come on as a second shooter/assistant. GACK! I’m the appropriate amounts of nervous, and excited and chill.
It’s purely part time. Only on the weekends. I’ll still be working full time at my current job, just to clear up any of that confusion.
I don’t know too entirely much about the gig, except that I will most assuredly be doing more than carting gear and arranging the brides dress, since he inquired as to whether I have my own gear or not (which means shooting!) I have no idea what to expect out of this. I’ve been praying and hoping and poking about to unearth an opportunity like this one, and now that it’s on the horizon, I’m kind of playing scared turtle. Cautiously sticking my head out of my shell and peering about. Because while I know I would be an OUT OF THIS WORLD asset to any company, I also know that this business is saturated, and for every one of me, there’s another ten people out there who are in my same boat; we’re all looking for a break and an opportunity.
I don’t know if it’s unrealistic, but I feel like I have an edge…and that edge is simply having God in my corner. Because I trust my days to Him, I really have peace and sheer relaxation when it comes to what we all like to call “big breaks.” I diligently hunt down these breaks, but their outcome is no sweat off my back because I FULLY realize that it depends on God’s will and not my own. If it doesn’t materialize, I’m not crushed because I know God has other things in mind. His ways aren’t my ways after all.
I suppose because I love it so, I know I’ll do it with a job, without a job. I’ll always do it, so regardless of whether someone wants to pay me for it or not, I’ll just keep on keeping on. It feels rather delightful to know that my future isn’t dependent on other people but on God’s plans and my obedience to those plans.
So, in light of that knowledge, I smile!
