    Re: Does a photo need to say something?

    I've done commercial work that has been published in both a book and magazines. People also pay me, and I have been asked to teach a class.

    Does that mean I get to be a photographer?

    Well, that depends on how much they pay me!

    Seriously, I'm fulfilled. My hours are flexible enough to make sure I don't miss important events (like kindergarten graduations) and I get to play with cute little babies, and come home to mine who are both potty trained and sleep thru the night.

    I get paid enough to keep me in coffe and shoes, and the thrill of seeing my name on the bottom of an ad in a magazine.

    Works for me!

    Gee, John, who is at all concerned about "feeling fulfilled"? It is about doing what you like to do, and getting paid for it.:thumbsup:
