Greetings my beloved fans,
Have you ever wished you would be doing something else in your career? A lot of people ask me. Why, I chose acting/modeling as a career. Being an actor/model is not a hobby for me it is a career. Like many others, I work a full-time gig and do this on the side. I have been building my book of images (which by the way, I have shot over 500 CD’s) to date and have over 500 images. Which, is more than the above average. I work with photographers and produce films because, I enjoy being creative and seeing the end result. If you think my job is easy it is not. Many models email me and ask me for advice to get into this business. Only 1% world-wide ever make it to a branding name, whether your an actor or model. It’s a tough gig and many, many self-sacrifices. Example: Yesterday, I was up at 3:00 a.m. getting ready for a photo-shoot. There’s many pre-planning of a photo-shoot. From hair, make-up, location, photographer and of course wardrobe. Which, since my career. I have done it all! Hopefully, there is some appreciation out there and someone respects my hard efforts. I have taken risks in this industry and also have self-funded my career. I wouldn’t change it for the world. On my 6th year of acting/modeling a door opened in Cebu-Philippines to work in the film industry and be in films world-wide. I was honored to be asked to do study work and receive film credits. I was keeping this opportunity very private for sometime until I was going. A few months, I had an unforeseen situation occur. I was blind sided and devastated. Which, had held me back from going to the Cebu-Philippines. The most difficult situation was emailing Bigfoot Entertainment and praying they would understand. I have not heard from them yet…since, I let them know I could not make it do to high health premiums. I don’t have $4000 to boot to pay out of my pocket to my Insurance provider. My local paper was even willing to do a write-up on my experience and a write-up when I return.
I would of beat the odds World-Wide and the odds of Minnesota.
Taking risks..isn’t bad..just know there can be heartache.
New images next week.
God Bless!
