Exactly Doug. It is a merger that I am really putting a lot of effort into
making work. If it ever comes to a point where I have to sacrifice my
creative control or my artistic input to please a "client" or to make some
money, lets just say that this whole thing will once again become a hobby.
I really love what I am doing and I know too many pro photographers who have
warned me against becoming "pro" because the love of what you are doing fast
becomes overshadowed by the need to please the customer and by how much they
are paying you. I can say right now that this won't be happening to me,
no-way, no-how....
Integrity is much more important to me than $$$. Basically, I only want to
earn enough so that my poor hubby doesn't have to work an entire week just
to buy me a certain lens or flash that I feel I "need"...
