The Pro Bono

Another charity dance, another pro bono shoot. I probably have used the word "pro bono" in the wrong context, however that is all my work at parties have been feeling like lately, mainly because the D.J.'s who ask me to work claim it is to build on my portfolio and networking. The reality is, I already have a portfolio now and I have not booked many gigs. So why is it I continue with my work? I don't know. Maybe I am stubborn, maybe I am lying to myself to think a D.J. will actually hire and pay me as a photographer. It is just frustrating. I need some real paying gigs.
