[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 317388, member: 16"] I get paid for my work doing portraits, landscapes, etc. But I do it on my terms...in other words...if, when and where I want. I don't do this as a full time profession, because I'm not interested in doing so. I'm a little long in the tooth, as it were. ;) So being a semi pro is just fine with me. If I was a younger man, with no obligations, I would probably do it as a full time career, but.....I'm not, so I don't. :) Deciding to become a pro anything is strictly a personal decision. Having moral support from family and friends is nice, but...they don't pay the bills. That would be up to you and your skill set. Make up your own mind on what you want to do, but be practical about it. I wish you all the best in pursuing your dream. :) [/QUOTE]
