It's time I did something positive

I think that I've been moaning about my photography for nigh on a year now. There comes a point when you have to say,

"Do I want to do this anymore, or don't I?"

I thought about it and thought about it. The answer was, I do. I realised that my skill was progressing well, that my artistic expression was developing style and that I hadn't given any thought to where this was going.
There was no problem creating images for the love of it. I was happy to be pleased with those images and was delighted when others were too. What was really making me unhappy was the thought of not being able to continue to develop. To run up to a point where I would have to give up through stagnation and frustration.

The cost of my photography has outstripped my meagre income. I did not grow up wanting to be an artist, I did not take up photography to make it a career so consequently it has taken me a long time to arrive at the conclusion that someone might want to own what I have produced.

Now that I realise that I need to sell what I create in order to continue to be able to create, I find this idea exciting, though it is going to be a bit of a challenge to make it actually happen.

The West End Festival - Glasgow, Scotland.

The Kelvingrove park parade was one of the highlights of the West End Festival. It was an opportunity for me to take some event pictures and have a bit of fun along the way. Some more of the pictures that I took can be found here on my flickr set.
