I'd not want to shoot pictures on a weekend. I always wondered if I'd ever take a vacation and be relieved to have an opportunity to get away from photography. I don't think I have. I still shoot plenty on a vacation and always have. A different surrounding how can I resist? I've heard of some big time shooters just bringing along a point and shoot to shoot their family on a vacation. Beyond my comprehension!! It's also rare for commercial photographers to bother with the expense and time involved with a show in a gallery. Not the case with me either, I've pretty much had a show in a gallery about every year of my career. I get to still think of myself as an artist. And not a shlock artist. So I'm still shooting for love as well as money. I'm glad it didn't turn into that. Mark Rabiner
