<3 <3 

i miss tumblr a lot honestly… i think this platform did a lot of things well and i never really liked instagram !! but it does feel like thats where things are these days. i havent been very productive with “actual photo work” anyway ((for things to post on here)), but if you do follow my instagram you probably know that 

i appreciate the kind words tho !!! means a lot

hi !!

if u already know who i am then u can just skip to the next paragraph where i tell u how everything in my life sucks but if you happened across this or saw it shared and you don’t know me - my names is hobbes. i’m a 22 year old photographer / filmmaker / artist and transwoman trying to make it out in LA

for the past 6+ months i’ve been on a perpetual job search trying to find a source of steady employment while freelancing my creative skills on the side. i’ve applied to countless jobs and been fired 2 times in as many months for reasons that have nothing to do with my own shortcomings and i’m realizing more and more how hard it is to survive as a young queer woman, especially as one who has very little experience and was unable to go to college.

on top of all the job struggles my bike was recently stolen and my computer broke and as a photographer and creative professional these were the tools i used on a daily basis to support myself and my career. due to my recent financial circumstances i haven’t been able to replace these tools making it that much harder to get more work

now within the next week i need to move out of my current living situation which is bringing on a whole new set of costs including deposits / first month rent and moving costs that i simply don’t have.

i never though that i would end up in this position and it feels so crushing to not be able to provide for yourself but the truth is that it’s hard and the system works against people like me and against our success. i’m trying as hard as i can to push forward and i just need a little of your help

here’s a break down of the costs that are included in the set goal -

MOVING (due next week)
- security deposit: $500
- first month’s rent: $500
- various moving costs(eg. truck rental, application fees, etc): $150

COMPUTER
- new pc powerful enough for photo / video editing workload: $1300

if you’ve read this far i really appreciate all your support and good vibes. it truly means the world to me. this has long been one of the hardest points of my life and i truly feel that if i’m able to make it through this next month and get myself back together with a fresh start i can put myself in a place where i am able to succeed

truly anything helps even if it’s just $1 or a share or kind words. thank you so much

hi everyone !!!

first off i wanted to say thank you so so much for all the help you’ve given me ! i truly appreciate it and can hardly find the words to describe how i feel right now. i just got the call that  we were approved for a new apartment and i will be moving this week and that is in no small part possible because the unbelievable generosity you’ve all shown

the campaign is going to stay up for the time being to see if we can meet the full goal so i can further pursue my passions and get a computer

it really humbles me to be able to be in this position now and i feel all the more responsible to succeed and prove to myself and everyone who has supported me that i will make it. i have a lot of really cool stuff in store to thank you guys. this really means the world to me

i feel like i need to reclaim floral prints somehow. they feel v important to me as something that was present when i was first starting to embrace femininity but i feel like w the whole urban outfitters hipster movement dying out a long time ago and me maturing aesthetically w the times that kinda got to be passe but i still have a soft spot for it. something to think abt

hey hobbes !! i've been following you for a couple of years now and i'm a photographer in a similar situation to yours, i'm 20 and i've hit my overdraft limit on both bank accounts and have about £10 cash so i was just wondering if you have any tips for how to set design/get hold of props & models on little to no budget ?? i hope you have a beautiful afternoon <3

im sorry to hear things are tough for you as well !! its rly hard out here but i hope things get better for u

in terms of trying to set up shoots and stuff my biggest tip is just be really thrifty ! im super super cheap. don’t buy things you don’t need. depending on what kind of look you’re going for you can get a lot of things at thrift stores or 99c stores for props and things. old bed sheets work rly well for backdrops. i also often just use random things i already have in the house and set them up in a new way !

i don’t often use models for shoots that aren’t jobs but i also am usually shooting friends so it’s never been an issue ! that said there’s always people who are looking to boost their portfolio whether you go on like craigslist or model mayhem or even just reach out on social media i’m sure there’s people who would be willing to collaborate !!! just be really respectful of their time and effort. i think a lot of other artists know how it is when you’re young and trying to make things happen so they will do u favors just be sure to pay it forward to them / other ppl in ur community as well ! 

good luck !!!
