First off - I'm Oregon if that helps.
In my previous career I was a newspaper and magazine photojournalist for over 10 years - I took a break and moved to the internet and now have made the jump to video.
I have a strong interest in video journalism - specifically environmental issues. I am also an underwater shooter, and publish a site devoted to shooting video underwater - UWDV.COM.
The reason why I am writing is I need some advice. What resources are there for documentary shooters like myself? I won regional awards for my still doc work and video now is my strong interest. Is there a way to make a partial living from being a documentary shooter?
I'm not sure I am asking the right question but maybe someone can decipher what I'm trying to say and lend some advice.
TIA...
