Response to You've got to have a gimmick!

JK - I can't take this any more. I have been following this post and to be blunt you are completely off base in your understanding of what it " takes " to "make " it in fashion or any other field of photography. You have been offered some very solid advise here but continue to only slam others who have worked long and hard at accomplishing their work. I happen to work on and off with a few of the people you use as examples in your tirates and it seems clear that at least one of the reasons you are not where you think you deserve to be is your lack of appreciation of what it takes to produce such work. Most of the people you dismiss made a decission a long time ago that this would be their life and nothing was going to keep them from getting to where they wanted to be. Not some "other "job or where or how they might have to live. ( Read as "you have to be where the work is" ) The best advise you have been given is to get off your butt. I might add to also give up your day job and move to where the work is. Sorry if this seems a bit harsh, but it is the reality of the field you seem to desire to persue.
