Feeling better today. Much better. The shoot went well, I got booked to work with the same photographer next Monday, everything went very smoothly and didn’t go over on time.
While I still don’t like the pay thing, I did have a wrong impression of this photographer. He’s definitely a cool guy.
Amazing how much a single good day of work can make your outlook improve. The money thing still makes me a little nervous, but I can definitely do this. I just need to get in good with a few more photographers who will re-hire me on a semi-regular basis. Easier said than done, of course, but definitely doable.
