I on the other hand, for right or wrong and at least for now, shoot with the goal of enjoying myself and trying new things. And hopefully, in the end the money earned pays for the wear and tear on some very expensive equipment.
So, with all that being said, last week a friend of mine who happens to be a band director asked me if I would stop by during a concert that he was putting on with his 6th & 7th grade bands to shot some pictures of him and the students. In return we would be able to post the pictures to a private shopping gallery where parents would be able to view and purchase prints if they so desired.
I never shot this type of venue before, so the thought of doing it was kind of exciting. But realistically, I kind of knew from a business perspective, some would think it that it might not make much sense.
But, there lies the point, the joy of photography is enjoying shooting things you want, regardless of whether it is or isn't profitable.
Besides, one never knows, these kids will likely get married in the future, right? :)
