Can't afford it. For what I'd get for my film stuff, I'd not be able to afford the DSLR and peripheral equipment, plus the computer and peripheral upgrades I'd need. I think someone here said to expect to spend at least what you spent on your DSLR on computer upgrades to have the ability to do decent digital workflow. Even all that expense and time wouldn't guarantee anything, it would just put me in a position to ~try~ to make a living out of photography. I really don't have the time to develop a stable clientel - I have to pay rent and child support and buy food right now. Besides, what I should have said (or at least, what I implied) was that I could be a "professional photographer". Even though I don't develop my own film, I'm already a photographer <vbg> (just not a very good one <VBG>). The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking I'll just continue looking for a "real job" and let that fund my hobby. I keep hearing about "chasing your dreams", but I only ever hear that from the winners. There are plenty of losers out there who chased their dreams and fell flat on their faces; we just never hear from them. Sometimes one just has to be realistic. cheers, frank ===== "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst" ******** "Of course it's all luck" -- Henri Cartier-Bresson ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
