Nicole, this looks like a daunting task, but beautifully executed. And a great subject for this framework.
You certainly should be making your way as a professional, but unfortunately it is usually location, location, location or connections, connections, connections.
Publishing, as on Usefilm, is a good place to start, but doing a gallery exhibition in San Fran or LA - the nearest cultural centers - could not hurt - or having a website that you can direct magazine people to.
And finding a rep - west coast - or east coast, if you want to travel to New York - is a great big step in the right direction.
What might motivate you is putting together a portfolio that you are passionate about with a theme - maybe the love theme with the poetry - and send out a DVD to the important magazines - New York Times Magazine, etc.
You are obviously very talented and need only to focus on what you absolutely must have and do.
Sorry, bossy is my middle name. Leora

Leora,
Thanks for the compliments and advice. I know I really need to get focused in one direction and not be so scattered. Assembling a good portfolio is my top priority right now, especially one with a theme like you suggested. I appreciate the encouragement, and you can boss me around anytime! --Nicole

Hi Nicole, It is always easier to boss someone else around - I am now in the process of getting focused myself, so good luck to both of us.
Your friend, Leora

Hi Nicole, I read your post in the forum, and I do see what you mean. I, personally, don't think there's anything wrong with an inconsistency in style, nor with a versatile number of subjects in photos.
In general lines, i'd say there is a strong consistency in your work; the tones and atmosphere (somewhat gloomy, in most cases with a tungsten warmth over it (especially the portraits) and a very consistent approach to composition (not surprising with your background)
I'd say your style evolves about mood and atmosphere. The bourbon series is a very strong example of that. It shows a perfect combination of photographic techniques to sketch the style, both in subject as well as in mood.
A few others, on the other hand, miss that genuinity, and seem to be more "forced" if you know what I mean.Why don't you draw up a list of what feelings / atmospheres you're most comfortable in, and complete that list with technical background on how to sketch that mood and capture it on film. With that cool, analytical approach as a draft in the back of your mind, I think you can really make things rock. the benefit is that you start shooting with a a concept of what the final shots should look like in mind; For me, it brings back that sparkle we're all missing at times. Hope this makes sense...
I picked this one my favourite, as I find the approach to the subject truely fascinating Higly creative and effective. Inspiring too. Compared to your other photos, I do think it stands out, and very positively so.
Cheers,
Hugo

Looks like a fantastic labour of love, very well calculated and put together. The size here doesn't do it justice.

Hi Nicole, Like I commented earlier, for me, it's a definite double YES. The concept definitely works, and I'd definitely would pursue this further. A pity the photo is a bit small to fully appreciate, as I'm sure there's more to this than meets the eye. Very creative approach, and definitely one to remember! Very creative!
Cheers,
Hugo

I think the concept works. Definately would work best larger so you can see the details. In this small image I can't really see what is going on in the bottom part of the scene. My question would be as a view to find out the relation of the bottom image to the top. I like large peiced together scenes, so I can image each frame as an 8x10 on a wall.
good luck,
cheers,
nicole

very cool.... time to makes slides of this one and enter some exhibitions with the concept, put together a solid set of ten and they would serve you well.
