And then I preceded to not apply for photo credentials to any WFTDA playoff tournaments.
This year, I will not update my derby portfolio.
If I could muster up the motivation, I would cut down the 30+ photos to 15.
Because if you can't "make the sale" with the first 15 photos, you're not going to make the sale with the next 15.
I know that. I'm not doing it.
This is last year's and my current derby portfolio.
