Goin Back a Few Years and Gettin Lost In The Corn

Goin Back a Few Years and Gettin Lost In The Corn

This image was taken about five or six years ago.  I could look at the exif info but I really don't need to.  Its been that long since I was out and about for photography.  Cell phone, probably iphone six plus.  Did a slight curves adjustment.  Looks a little blurry on resize for blankets and shower curtains but that almost always prints well as long as you can keep the dpi to 200.  Five or six years ago I had never been homeless, and my dad didn't yet have stomach cancer.  We went out during the week.  He'd drive.  I'd say pull over on some backwards country road and within a few yards he'd make it.  I'd hop out and get a few shots of some non flatlander landscape and run it through a few filters, put it on some coffee mugs when I get home on some of my Zazzle sites.  Those days are all behind me at the moment.  Dad is at stage 4 and fightin. I lost my drivers license in a field much like this one on my way back from being homeless in Wisconsin and was too afraid to go take the driving test to get it back these past few years.  I literally at the time had thought I needed to change my name so get rid of the ids.  But on the other hand I was attempting to walk 65 miles to make peace with Dad and hopefully sleep indoors again after two years of benches and the occassional shelter.  So here I am.  I can not go out much.  I have a lot of digital work I can do.  None of it brings me the independence I so wishingly deserve though.  POD is a saturated market.  I am making the best of it.  Nose to the grind.  I had an image that was up for three years take off about a year and a half ago and that made grocery money for the month on two sites.  You never know what the magic search kernels are going to be.  I have looked into tagging problems and i just can't see using some of these three and four word tags that i see on some pieces.  they have to be tag stuffing.  it has little to do with their image and i can not imagine a buyer typing that into marketplace search.  What do I want?  To be established.  to have a following.  Taking a break from facebook and instagram.  they are so ten years ago anyhow.  turns out two part authentication isnt enough to deride some people and i have been cordially uninvited by some obliviant fools residing god knows where.  Well here I am.  Just tryin to make a livin.
