Happy with the new stacks finally they fixeded it a little. still wish there was an ajustable minimum for the stacks.

I got the job, though I've been so sick and honest-to-god depressed since before I started, that i'm worrying I'll loose my job before long.

www.facebook.com/pages/Stargir… <--- become a fan of SGP on facebook!

as I just posted on there I'm kinda having an honest moment with you all...

" ok moment of honesty with you guys. Things are progressing way slower than I need them to. But you could all seriously turn things around for me - I need your help to spread the word about SGP amongst your friends and family. When I get paid at the end of the month I'm going to get stuck into getting some new material done and get some promo flyers and such printed up....

Until I get more work coming in i'll be tied to a job that is seriously restricting my ability to book shoots in advance.

So here's what all of you can do to help me out.
1) suggest this page to as many people as you can
2) post a link to your fave photo of mine on your wall and tell people about me or 3) blog about me...
4) volunteer to help give out posters and flyers around blackpool or manchester one day in early april.
5) if you can, hire me for a shoot! if I can prove to my family that I have a steady trickle of money coming in I can hand my notice in and focus on getting SGP truely up and running.
6) like this status

I can't do all this without you guys - and you guys all around america! YOU can help too with spreading the word cause soon enough i'm going to be moving out there."

So yeah, please here on dA and on fb etc help spread the word about me - I desperately need to get more paid work coming in so I can end the struggle between job and photography once and for all (or at the very least afford to change my hours)

please don't just ignore this journal. Comment with suggestions if you have any. Let me know if you're up for helping spread the word. Perhaps even write a journal about me?

For the time being i'm going to focus on getting through each day of my new job, to get enough cash in so I can finally have some driving lessons and buy a car. That's totally crucial to me right now.
