Landscape photography during the winter months, in foul weather. Nothing
else, photographically, comes close to the enjoyment I have doing that.

I like shooting portraiture, which is funny, because I am absolutely awful

I don't enjoy the shooting, but the rest of the process is fun. BW
portraits are what interests me, but trying to come up with creative
shots while the subject is waiting terrifies me at times. Once the shot
is done I enjoy the rest. Processing isn't exciting but it is kind of
soothing, gently

LOL! No, it's just that if someone tries to interrupt me when I'm
shooting, I might snap at them. :) Actually, every time I've taken my
tripod out, people have been very nice and given me a wide berth. :)

Definitely in it for the fun.
I have done weddings for friends. The most humbling experience for me was
when a friend said that she was willing to fly me up to New Hampshire and
take care of all expenses to have me do her wedding. Until then they had
all been local weddings.

Mostly for personal enjoyment. My wife has an alternate career as a food
writer. This has taken me all sorts of places, as I often take the shots
that accompany her stories. We've been published in the NY Times, Boston
Globe, Chicago Tribune, Dallas etc. On my own, I've had shots in San Diego

This bit of discussion reminded me of a very profitable and very fun instance in the
summer of 1968, when I was just getting started in photography.
At the time I had very little money, and was living in a storefront in San
Francisco. The storefront had a big darkroom in back, and, downstairs,

It may have been, but I'm not really sure. There was another that I received $100.00
for (big bucks for a starving photog in 1968) that
may have preceded the fish.
I was walking past a uniform store, and there was a mannequin in the window dressed in
a nurses uniform. The store owner saw me
Fun. Can't say I've made a profit out of it.
Have sold some photos though. Quite a few, in fact.
Dogs are the subjects (surprise!). I don't think I'd ever sold a photo
before this year.
Must be me having a professional camera now an' all ;-) ;-)

For me it is somewhat like a drug addiction. I started out taking pictures
for pleasure and after a while I started selling my time to support the
habit. Now I do it because I need the money. I still enjoy it, but I never
seem to have the time or the money to do the projects I would like to

I guess you'd have to call mine 'fun' - I certainly don't make
a living from it. But sometimes it's not fun, either.

Photography is a hobby for me, but I try to make enough money at it to
defray the expense. Once I retire from my day job I might try to
substantially increase my photography income.

I make some money doing weddings. I truly enjoy teaching photography at a
community college. When I got started in photography I never dreamed I
would make money at it or teach others about photography.

Most of my involvment in photography these days is for money; either
shooting or assisting. Right now I like the challenge of having to get the
shots, because someone is paying you to do so. It's very different than
shooting for friends, family or even second shooter. The pressure is
greater, but
Interesting question, J.C., because it makes me think (which makes my brain
hurt, but I digress...).
I guess I do it for fun. I certainly don't make a profit from it.
But, you know what? As much fun as I get from it, I think it goes way
deeper than that for me. I'm going to sound all stupid
