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. I volunteer at a lot of events and I usually give of my time but do charge for my expenses.
I feel I lack the business sense and dedication to really make it work for profit. I will not tell how many photos I have that still need to go out to people. Though, I have kept track of my expenses and income for the past few years. I can say that for as much as I partake in my 'hobby' I am in the red just a little bit. Not bad, even taking into account the equipment purchasing. I have missed out on some paying jobs due to other commitments... Still, it is all for fun, C�sar Panama City, Florida -- -----Original Message----- -- From: J. C.
