I am writing in hopes someone really does see this and says, "why not?"
I am an unemployed not "unemployable" father of soon to be 2 and husband for 10 strong years. We have always put ourselves third and I have amongst losing 3 teeth, have several other conditions I am working with, even though most of family does not know.
I am a creative photographer/artist that recently latched onto helping small businesses work with social media to help their businesses stay relevant in the days of corporate coffee shops and big box garden and hardware stores. But my love has always been art and namely photography. If you take a look at some of my work, please let me know if you would like to buy. I do not need a handout, I just need to "start" my photography career so I can help provide for family again. I do not collect unemployment, so that is not even in my vocabulary.
