Jeff, How true.....I have always said being a working photographer is a game...sometimes I get the best photo and win and sometimes someone else does...all in all it is fun and I feel blessed to make a living with my hobby. To me work would be being a CPA, Lawyer or some other dreadful career where you are swamped in paper work...lord knows I have a hard time with the paper work being a photographer produces! I have liked playing with all of my camera toys, Leica, Canon, Nikon and getting a check after just makes playing that much sweeter.
