I am so glad that I am doing this for personal pleasure at this stage of the game. I would hate to be under pressure to become good at it just because I needed the income. *sigh*
Same here Deedee, I really don’t consider myself a professional but a self taught amateur, I’ve been photographing for over 20 years on and off and still learning new stuff that my brain won’t or can’t retain ? as for doing it for an income that’s not me ! I enjoy the thanks from my friends & family when I hand them a disk of my photos ? I do it just because I love my hobby ? a free meal now and then or a gift card is good enough !
Exactly! 🙂 Been photographing for about 50 years, and still do not consider myself a Pro-pro, because I’m not out there All The Time. It’s a fun hobby, with high ‘enthusiast’ end equipment. People tell me I should do it for a living, but I don’t really want to, I have other hobbies, as well as photography. I’m retired now from my day job. I don’t want ‘restrictions’ in my life, there are enough of them without deliberately setting yourself up 😉
Write your books DeeDee!
Only have my dslr last November.. I fell in love with it… as of right now, I’m just a guy who loves to shoot on pretty much everything.
