I think I shall always be an "amateur" in all my endevours because the business side of any of these things is so tiresome and time consuming. I'm actually in a stock agency, but have given them so little lately that I'm not even listed on their web site. I've had shows, but never made a profit because it cost so much to put it together. And then there was the book, but that of course, showed no profit for me. I'm awfully pleased to be appreciated by those on the list. But I have to say I'm feeling the pressure, too :) What can I put up for March? ??? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
