Epiphany is hard Labour too #57

Shooter: Ellen Jantzen (whose web-site maybe displays the worst self-portrait of a photographer that I have ever seen). To be a writer according to a Primo Levi's metaphor is to become invisible during your life-time of work. Another available status is as follows:
"“I became a writer in the same way that I became a prostitute. First I did it to please myself, then I did it to please my friends and finally I did it for money. It’s much harder to be a writer than a hooker because men are pickier about what they read than what they fuck, since they’d sooner fuck trash than read it.”(Sebastien Horsley)
