I am at the strictly amateur (2 months in) end of the hobby and you guys give me the motivation to go and have a go. Dont think i would ever have the nerve to even ask for someone to pay for my photos!!!!
If you are having a bad day...sometimes i am out at 5-30am not back until 8pm have to drive 3-400 miles and do 8hrs work in an office some days. Think of me...I know lots do that but i am not doing something i enjoy if you know what i am driving at.

I just think of my 10 years working for the NHS and thats enough to make me feel better about it all! there are times when i look at photography jobs and then think i should apply to do it full time under contract... but the pick and choose aspect goes out the window then!
i got to the stage when people would ask me to do photos for them alot... wheni started to thing ... would i ask them to come do my accounts for free or give me things from their shops for free NO! so thats when i decided it was time to set up on my own and use my gift to make money..
when phoning clients or drumming up trade or even dealing with agencies the worst anyone can say is no! either the image is wrong or your not what they want.
the main thing is you enjoy!
