Didn´t have the pleasure of reading your blog in a while. Took a full time job not doing photos but earning money to do photos in the future. Worked hard and on a nice relaxful Sunday before I turn 29, reading this was the perfect reaffirmation of my thoughts in mind . . . Thanks.

The 60% raise i had just recvd didn't make me hate my job any less. Having fulfilled my life-long dream of working as an analyst I had no idea what to do next. When mulling my options with a friend, not knowing what i wanted to be when i grew up, he asked 'what would you be willing to wake up at 3am to do and do it for free?' Despite no training or photo education, the answer was photography. It has been an interesting 5 years, but worth all the money i missed out on. Thanks for the great blog.

It bums me out to see a lot of photographers that have been shooting for 20+ years bitch and moan about the industry. I got into this business because I love photography not for the money.

My favorite allegory for this idea is from the song by Jackson Browne, "The Pretender". "....They say in the end it's the wink of an eye And when the morning light comes streaming in You'll get up and do it again Amen Caught between the longing for love And the struggle for the legal tender...." Have a great weekend. Rob
So true.

My favorite allegory for this idea is from the song by Jackson Browne, “The Pretender”.

“….They say in the end it’s the wink of an eye
And when the morning light comes streaming in
You’ll get up and do it again
Amen

Caught between the longing for love
And the struggle for the legal tender….”

Have a great weekend.
