What is your intention?
Remember to engage brain before putting mouth in gear

Then I thought to myself, why not try to make money from it. I realized what I love to shoot is hard to market to make money.
The field of photography that can bring in the money, is not what I love to shoot. Although I am good at it, it stresses me out, mainly the pricing stresses me out, not the actual taking pictures.
So now I am back to shooting what I love, for me.
If someone wants to buy or hire, that's great, but I am done marketing myself.
So I didn't start photography with the intentions of becoming a pro. I started because it's something I love to do.
NEVER say NEVER... Did not start out with the intention of turning pro but got good enough at it that I got hired and BAM - now I write a column twice a month too that i shoot pix for. Then I got into the wedding biz and the kids portrait biz and now if you ask I will shoot it for money...but my FAVORITE is still shooting pro hockey games by far.MaryisCherry wrote: I enjoy taking pictures.
