While everyone scrambles over each other for the attention of their favorite magazines, I've moved out of the way and found other sources of revenue. I sell stock direct, I sell prints from my website, I do a variety of commercial photography, a few portraits, and editorial jobs. Any time anyone tells me, "the exposure will be great. It's free advertising!", I generally run the other way. It's like dealing with a used car salesman. I just don't trust them. In the (relatively) short time I've been a photographer, I've already had to reinvent myself, and I don't have a problem with it. It keeps things interesting, and I'm constantly challenged. The whole time, I've kept my personally projects on forefront, and used the photography assignments as an enjoyable means to an end.

I think the only way that is possible is to take control of our/your situation and make it happen. The only thing I can think to say now is, no matter what your job or career is we always want more.
