Rejected: Breaking into show biz is hard work!

 

 Rejected: Breaking into show biz is hard work!

  Central Casting asked me to take a full-body photo against a white wall in order to use it to apply for background acting jobs. Yikes! How hard can that be?!? First, even finding a white wall was problematic. Then finding a friend with a SmartPhone to take the freaking photo was the next big hurdle. Then getting good lighting? FAIL! Six different cameras, Six different friends. Five different walls. "Rejected." 

Breaking into show biz is hard work!

PS: OMG, they finally accepted my seventh submission! As well they should. Had to finally talk a professional photographer into taking it pro bono.  Thank goodness.
