Hey. Nice to hear about your date. And I'm also very glad to hear that things aren't going too bad for you lately. I could say things are ok, but there's a lot of weirdness right now. I'm definitely in a transition phase, I was feeling it in 2009, but this year is now definitely announcing big big changes.

Aside the breakup, work is weird. I've been working in a bakery since may (and the salary is crappy), after being unemployed for about 6 months. I've worked in a studio as well since may, and quit after Christmas. I at least experimented with family and couple portraits enough to know it's not my thing (even if I suspected it). I'm working part-time now, but I just got a call to work 2 days a week with my ex-manager, in my field of expertise. I'm also starting to get some serious photo contracts in line, so that's another thing. Finally, I decided to change directions in my personnal work, and go more towards photojournalism, or politically committed art rather than fashion and portraits. Not that I won't ever do that again, but the subject just doesn't motivate me enough. So yeah, that's a lot.

And needless to say, the breakup fucks me up a bit. I'll really need some more money, I don't make enough to live by myself as it is now. And well, it seems Gab already is interested in someone else. A really, really attractive, and interesting... 18 year old. I don't even feel that bad about it, but let's say the whole situation makes me unstable. I am confident we are doing the right thing though, and I know things are going to end up fine. I just have to mourn a little.

Hope things will continue going in the right direction. Good to hear from you.
