When I am shooting, I have several different purposes in mind for the photos. I have to find some way to use the photos to earn enough money to pay for the equipment, the trips, the promotions, and the time I spend on photography which is not a hobby for me. I think the other photographers who actually make a living with their photography take at least as many photos as I do and sometimes many, many more.
