>>3972941Have you tried having an interest in things outside of photography so that your photos have something to stand on beyond "um...I'm shy...I like cameras...hi...this is me..."?
No, of course you haven't. You're so busy wallowing in your self-pity that you think self-publishing costs "thousands" of dollars.
You can print a book of your own work for $10. Carry it around with you to explain yourself and what you do. Get some people skills. Use the book as a wedge for access.
Stop being a boring little bitch if you want some attention. It's not that complicated.
