LOL! Yeah, I know. You're supposed to click on the picture once it opens in your browser. If you put your mouse in the middle of the pic, you should see a plus sign appear. Click. It opens up to full view.

I made a lot of money in photography but it really sucked the love out of it. Having to make a living out of something you love is never a good thing. It was years after I got out of the business till I got back to the point that I truly love shooting again. I have been thinking about getting back into the business but only enough to pay for my hobby this time around.

Had to click on the link and not the picture.

I can't say I made a lot of money in my previous life as a pro but I made enough to pay the bills and have some fun. And I grew to despise the industry in which I worked (fashion). And I still do. I'll never go back to that field. It was years before I got that bad taste out of mouth enough to regain an interest in photography. Now I've made enough money in software development to be able to do what I want with photography. If it pays, great. If not, great too.

Very cool!!! Enjoyed!!

*golf clap*

I've changed my mind. I am going to stick to being a professional amateur

Good post. Interesting and thought provoking. Thanks for that.

Don't you know? Everyone who buys a DSLR is automatically a "Pro" - at least it seems that way.

I knew a gal who bought a point and shoot with a zoom lens and was going to start a photo business. Her hubby encouraged her so she would be out of the house.
