It's a lot like the "real musicians have day jobs" bumper stickers
I've seen. (Come to think of it, one of those recently appeared
on the bumper of the car belonging to the leader of The Homespun
Ceilidh Band (he's a lawyer).)
I don't expect photography to make me rich, but it'd be really
cool if it could someday pay for itself. (I'm not counting on
it.)
