the life of an up & coming photographer Vol.1

Alejandro Garcia

I've been living in New York for three months now. I feel confident about my photography, everyone out here loves my work and im meeting the coolest people and not to mention working with awesome talented individuals. 

When I arrived i felt like i had to do so many things and there were some days where i didnt go out or just stayed at home and be a hermit. I felt bad cuz i felt like i had to be always out & about but i didnt feel comfortable going out and not knowing where i was going. At times i felt like just getting lost.

I showed my portfolio to Rolling Stone and inside there was a note saying " thank you for you interest in Rolling stone, we took a card for future reference" in my head im like onto the next one!

so my next stop was XXL. ( this is a magazine in which i LOVE ) so i drop off my portfolio and i go home and im all praying that something happens.A few days go by and this particular day i was with one of my friends hanging out at macys and i get an e-mail on my phone....

so i check it and its from the photo editor at XXL. this is all it says

You can pick up your portfolio tomorrow, it will be at the front desk. thank you.

In my head i was like;

WTF thats it.

really!?

i mean .....?

WTF ..fuckin bitch.

i was upset and i just wanted to go home, so as i was on the subway i was trying my hardest not to cry. I kept thinking about the e-mail and it made me even more mad.

I get home and i tell my room mate all about it.

that night i couldn't sleep.
