2009 had it's up and down for sure. Major economical draw backs on the global market proved to be for me a real eye opener (one that I knew about but never had to adress in this head-on manner) and I decided that I had to do something drastic on the D.I.Y side of -mwcp-. To be able to do your own stuff within photography as a proffessional is not always the case for most in this field. Clients with no budget and respect for the labor sure had a great time but in the long run this is a path straight to the abyss for the induvidual photographer. If you want to do what you love, what you are good at and you want to do it for a long time you have to find the way arond the bullshit. In my case I am on a mission to get my photography on its feet again. No more begging and getting let down at last minutes by unresponsive and careless money makers. I will be working on this new project for some time now and hopefully come back with better, stronger and more powerful material within 2010. I will be based out of both Thailand and Japan for some time (in Singapore at this moment...monsoon rain!) and am looking forward to being able to go even more solo that ever (how more solo can a One-man-show get!?). Lets see if I can turn this one into something fruitful and creative, do or die!
Stayed tuned, thanks for your support during the years. I'll be back!
