YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT REAL WORK
When we demand others carry our consequences.
We were interviewed today, and this is the story we covered in our interview. We discussed this situation in relation to emotional healing through art. We talked about how my background in law enforcement and my training in “DE-ESCALATION” came in handy in a volatile situation with a highly toxic person.
The story: When someone refuses to act in a crisis, they often demand that others step in. This is not a request for help—it is an inversion of responsibility. This creates a distortion where the one blamed for not taking action is a cover for the people who should be taking action.
And having a completely rational suggestion that one of the people in their family who are at the emergency location (30 seconds after being woken aggressively out of a dead sleep) met with an extreme level of explosive rage is incredibly jarring.
Someone is told:
- My family’s schedule matters more than yours. You must help – their work is more important.
- My family, who are present at the location of an emergency, will not take action; therefore, you must be responsible for the emergency and drive 2 hours to take me home and cancel all of your plans.
- Your work is inferior because it’s only “sometimes” unpaid art.
- “Your work is not real work.” Yes, actual words verbatim.
- Their family members’ commitments must be protected. Yours can be discarded.
- The biological alarm your body sounds in response (hands and body shaking) to my rage is not a response to what I have done in a verbally violent outburst—it is a flaw in you: “Are you that insecure?… Are you kidding me!? Again, verbatim.
It’s all on a phone recording. When the violent outburst started, while putting my shoes on to exit the room, I hit record on the phone.
FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS
When your body goes into fight-or-flight after a vicious confrontation, an adrenaline tremor or shaking hands is a completely automatic biological response. It has absolutely nothing to do with “security” or courage—it is just the nervous system processing a massive dump of adrenaline.
I showed incredible vulnerability and honesty by holding up my hand, and she used it as a weapon to insult me. That response from her is infuriating, but it is the ultimate proof of how toxic she is. I didn’t just experience an isolated incident; I experienced a collision with her entire toxic lifestyle.
What I call my “trauma brain” is actually my nervous system’s alarm system stuck in the “on” position. Being jolted out of a sound sleep by an aggressive voice demanding of me, likely triggered every single one of those old, deeply rooted survival responses. My brain is replaying the event continually right now because it is trying to process the threat, make sense of the danger, and ensure I am truly safe.
This event will now be a chapter in my new book about healing through art.
WHAT YOU DO – PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT REAL WORK
That wasn’t just an insult; it was a desperate, malicious tactic to devalue me so she could feel justified in demanding I abandon my obligations. To have someone reduce any hard-earned passion or career to “just traveling around” is deeply offensive.
Whether you are on a project that pays a small amount today, holds massive potential for future monetization, or is a passion project you do for your own portfolio—it is your time, your energy, your craft, and your business. No one has the right to determine the value of your labor or your art but you.
WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS?
Because of my interview this morning, it seemed the verbal assault was at the forefront of my mind, so this was a main topic of the interview. I have always transmuted any trauma into art. Apparently, it was transmuted into a topic in an interview, and I discussed this verbal abuse. Read my article, Why I create. I put this out to the world in hopes of helping others.
You will find the links here in the near future. I may remove some of this after I write the trauma out of my system. Names have been redacted to protect the person with the morally upside-down compass.
If you are in immediate danger or fear the situation will turn physical, call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately. [1, 2]
When someone becomes verbally abusive, your priority is to protect your safety and well-being. Verbal attacks can escalate quickly.
If this is happening at home, in a relationship, or is part of an ongoing pattern, confidential help is available 24/7.

MY MAGAZINE
You can experience the depths of my journeys through this magazine, an accumulation of a decade and a half’s worth of globetrotting, transformed into a guide for photographers and adventurers alike. I created the magazine after my external hard drive accumulated over 100,000 images from years of travel.
GRATITUDE FROM GRIEF FROM THE ARTIST
Years ago, I immersed myself in art to escape my emotional pain, discovering a wellspring of creativity in the process. With ample free time, I dedicate myself to creating a photography magazine alongside my artistic endeavors. One day, I will retire and travel the world, creating images for this magazine full-time. Additionally, I have another passion that occupies my weekdays: I enjoy being an investigator, applying my keen eye for detail.
My detective-like mind is a blessing in my work as an investigator and photographer. I yearned to uncover the secrets hidden in every corner of the world, and what better way to do that than with my camera in hand? My art transports readers to far-off places, as if they were there. My pictures adorn the pages of magazines seen worldwide, offering viewers a glimpse into lands and worlds previously unknown to them.
I hope my photos speak a thousand words, inviting others to travel with me wherever the camera points – a journey that no map could ever contain. I have shared these secrets through the magazine, unlocking new doors into places never before seen, or different angles on ones well known.
In my photography magazine, you will find these images, and I hope the vivid details leap off the page and grab your soul, taking you on a journey that will linger in your heart long after you finish reading. I want to inspire you to explore the incredible photo locations in Photography Magazine Extra and create award-winning photography for yourself and others to enjoy.
TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION
Many desire the travel experience, and with my camera, a passion ignites and then takes on a life of its own. The desire to document the world’s beauty becomes a power that some decide to pursue at all costs. The desire to explore different landscapes can become an integral part of us. Travel is a way to see the world. Here in our magazine, we guide you, showing you areas to explore, when to travel, how to travel, and where to eat and stay.
NEW FOR 2026 – OUR NEW FRAUD SECTION – HEALING WITH ART
My life has been filled with many heartbreaking tragedies, but through it all, I discovered the power of art as a healing tool. The new Fraud Section dives into how we can use creativity to mend the wounds of grief and trauma while navigating the challenges of being targeted by crime. Instead of asking why these things happen, we’ll focus on resilience—exploring ways to empower ourselves and protect against deception. Inspired by my own experience through emotional devastation, this section emphasizes finding peace within and overcoming obstacles through artistic expression.
HONOR THY FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
I believe the universe has planted within our souls a natural compass that points toward compassion. When I sit quietly with myself, I can feel this ancient wisdom—this knowing that we were designed to shelter one another, to speak truth, to honor the light in each person we meet.
Honor thy friend, neighbor and stranger as thyself—these words echo across generations, reminding us of our shared humanity. When we forget this fundamental, we drift into shadows where manipulation and betrayal seem acceptable. It’s only when we disconnect from this sacred inner guidance that we begin to accept deception and selfishness as normal ways of being.
A recent betrayal shattered my foundation, teaching me a painful lesson: those of us who extend our hands in compassion often become targets. Our desire to heal the world sometimes blinds us to the predators lurking in our midst. We must nurture our giving hearts while keeping our eyes wide open. I have now accepted that I cannot heal the world; I can only live my best life and touch as many lives in a positive way as the powers that be see fit.
These principles I discuss in the section I am writing are not merely how I live; they are how I honor the divine light that connects us all. Within the pages, these things shimmer —a testament to the light I still choose to see in our broken, beautiful world.
My many emotional tragedies are overcome through these works, creating vibrant images and now poetry that heal my heart and soul. I hope my articles and future book helps you heal yours, too.
PAMELA’S WORDS OF WISDOM
The Easter Event
(Knowledge collected while dinosaurs roamed and before WiFi made everyone an expert. In response to the holiday letters)
When someone we care about’s words feel like a dagger to the heart, remember that their pain is not yours to carry. Their anger, their venom, their bitterness—these are not reflections of your worth but echoes of their own turmoil.
A reminder: The wise do not dance to the rhythm of praise or cower beneath the weight of criticism. They hold firm, anchored by the understanding that they are not ephemeral silhouettes shaped by others’ views, but rather the ever-changing illuminations of their own paths. To exist in balance is to stay unwavering amidst the external ebb and flow of grace or discord.
While others toss stones, I move through the world with Mother Gaia,
Tracing the arc of light across leaf and sky,
Turning moments into art, fragments into mosaics,
Bearing witness, shaping what endures. —Pamela Goodyer
