How happy are you?
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
According to this Time survey if you’re a photographer you’re not so happy. In the Entertainment, Sports, and Media portion of the survey photographers barely inch out Amusement park attendants. Maybe they couldn’t ride the rides for free? Luckily though most of us probably reading this aren’t photographers, but photojournalists. Journalists faired a few degrees better, but those surveyed still seemed to be an unhappy bunch.
Despite how we like to complain at times we’re blessed to do what we do. I’m reminded of this everytime someone allows me into their lives. Can I be there when you wake up in the morning? How about taking a bath? We want to be there for everything and sometimes its easy to forget that what we do is truly a privilege and honor. Our subjects owe us nothing. We owe them everything.
