Raymond, in your comments on the question 'why make Art'you have articulated very accurately the uncertainties, vaguaries and challenges to be faced when one choses the 'life in Art'.
As one goes on, one WILL answer these questions, one WILL overcome these challenges..only to begin all over again! Such is the power of Art, and the depth of its mystery.
By the way, you have now exhibited the "beginnings" of your work. Think about the Studio Log option, explain what you want to do in the darkroom with your images....
