That is lamest rant I have ever read (hyperbole here – but damned close). Stop your whining and do something. Either create good work or learn how to network and walk the walk. This boo hoo attitude is so tiring.

I would recommend this: Learn to read first. No where in the post does it say she received a Grant. In fact it says she “was funding the series on my own (after not getting a Canada Council grant)”

Then I would learn to check your ego.

great, she’s is partnered with some of the best photographers and agencies, she is a successful photographer herself, and yet she needed a grant from the government to fund her project involving portraits. Another reason why this system fails and sucks for up and comers. The embellishment on the talent pool as well, is stating that old photographers are choked they no longer make sweet coin (100k gigs)so he merges to video with a 3k camera..omg…sorry for the rant, just an observation.

Thanks for presenting Dina’s story here. Love her candor and humor. I can totally relate. We just had our second child in August as well, and I was shooting right up to the last week. Priorities certainly shift, as they should.
I can see why the fallen princess project has gotten so much attention. It must strike a chord with so many people. It’s a great concept and beautifully executed.

What a great piece. As a travel photographer for more than 10 years I’ve recently taken off some extended time to be a full-time Dad to my two young boys, taking on assignments when I can and moving to more stock licensing. It’s been a real challenge to have my photographic identity kind of dwindle and diminish as I just become ‘Dad’. But it’s a really rewarding thing and has been great fun – and hopefully given me sensibilities that will influence my art as well. Enjoy the ride!
