i was planning on continuing with the lesson plan today. and then i thought i would put together a post talking about how i had the chance to get my photos featured on an 111k-follower instagram account. but then i started working through the “application process” and realized that it was just a pay-to-play scheme. i feel bad for all the suckers that fall into that trap. glad i’m not going to be one of them. and wondering what it is that people think will come of the investment into being featured alongside a bunch of other paying customers to an audience of…who knows. really sad.
but on the positive side, i have a booking for tuesday afternoon that was sourced through instagram as a result of some of the photos i took last friday night. so i guess while some people have proven they’re out there to waste time and feed off of other people’s feeds, others are out there truly looking to participate.
