What's your profession? Please describe it.
i am a part time entertaining educator thus "edutainer" where i act out a crazy professor and teach people about the stars and planets.
the other remaining time i am an artist.
painter, photographer, illustrator, graphic designer, webdesigner...
Where do you do this?
when i take pictures or not, when i paint or not, i am always looking around
seeking out details, or looking for an angle where ever i am.
i do it all the time, whereverwhenever.
Do you enjoy what you do?
most of the time i love the job, but the job can get frustrating when i feel im stuck up against the sealing, and feel i need to learn more fast.
When you were young, what did you want to "be" when you grew up?
when i was just a little boy i could never make up my mind what i wanted to be, i wanted to be everything from a pilot, a general, bankrobber, to painter, photographer, or captain of my own submarine or spaceship.
Do you feel stuck doing what you are doing?
In a sence i feel stuck because i see artist around me with less talent but better connections selling more artwork, or making name.
What are the most and least satisfying parts of your job?
People who like my work and give an honest opinion.
least satifying?
people who have no opinion at all.
How do you combine photography with your job?
in both painting, illustrations, or even webdesign, i use my photography practicaly all the time.
Anything else you'd like to add?
i love photography because it is a fast medium
fast in its creative process and fast in understanding, in giving the message to other people without BS.
BS is currently owning art.
