- January 14, 2024

Companies use interns to do so much. They are unwilling to spend the money to hire someone to do the work because they want to increase profits for the shareholders.

If I have ever offered to do free photography or anything else this is your notice. After this month I will no longer offer to do anything for free.

Last year, I went to a building on Sunday mornings. I have stopped going. I do not see myself going again. It's difficult to get myself to do something again once I have stopped.

People pay so much for cars and money to maintain and park these cars that they only use a small percentage of the time.

Hours counting, time going slowly as the sun shines until it is hidden, still shining out there the sun remains, and I am still counting the moments as my eyes feel heavy and dreams are but a moment away.

Floating in my mind are moments in time. My life in seconds. My life recalled in images and sounds. My life in smells and tastes. y life in memory fading and without context.

Hours going unnoticed as no one knows who I am, no one ever sees me, no one ever hears me, I am just one of many who go unwanted.

Hours later I wake from dreams uncertain whether or not today will be different from all of the other days of my life...

I went to Walgreens yesterday and picked up two more free photos of the bee photograph I took while in NYC Central Park a few years ago.

I rode my bike to the post office after Walgreens to check the box.

I went from the post office to Whole Foods to redeem 4 coupons. Two for free products. Two for BOGO.

It was a long ride yesterday. It took me a few hours.

I am not going anywhere today. I have no idea what will do today. TikTok has removed a video I did yesterday. You can see it on my YouTube channel. It is the one in which I talk about the 3 movie combo I have featuring 3 classic movies. They removed it as soon as I uploaded it. AI is not as perfect as some would say it is.

I do not know what else I will do this week. I was attending webinars from the Student Filmmaker Magazine but now they are charging for these webinars. I have no interest in paying for these webinars. They are not worth paying for.

I stopped going to the programs at the library last year and I do not know when or if I will begin again.

I will no longer offer photography or anything else for free. If I have offered these things for free in the past this is the last month to ask me to do it.

I will not apply to internships unless they pay a certain amount per hour. I will not work for free.

I will not give money to a charity unless I agree with how the money will be spent. I will not give money to any organization that has paid employees. If they pay people to work for them they do not need my money.
