Hi Paul,
I must disagree with you that photography is a job. ;-) The truth is, "a Job
or work" is moving concrete blocks!"

Photography is fun and if it isn't I'd suggest anyone who isn't having fun
should immediately get themself a milk or bread route. Or at best go move
concrete blocks! :-)


Yo Ted,
I never said it wasn't fun, I've traveled all over the place shooting stuff,
I just don't like the word that's all(I was making a joke, forgot the smiley
face LOL), btw, you and I and many on this list is very lucky. I heard a
story on NPR about a single mother who is trying to make ends meet
supporting her 2 kids working two minimum wage jobs/careers; one is
photographing school kids for  yearbooks, yes she has fun, then she rushes
off to another service job. The two careers still earn her less than $25K!

If she lived in my town, moving concrete blocks, she'll have a great
healthcare package, a union backing the great wage and able to buy a new M7
kit without missing a sweat!  ;-)
