I hear that it's a tough buisness - unless you're doing weddings (UGH!). My goal is to get my pictures shown in a gallery. ..Wait, I mean shown and BOUGHT in a gallery. I got in a bit of a philisophical argument with a couple people at my last camera club meeting (Maybe I should have waited. I've only been a member for a couple months now). One guy was saying something like "It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You're just doing this for yourself - If YOU like your picture, that's all that counts..." I disagreed. My purpose in photography is to SHOW my works to people who are glad I showed them. I read some inspiring words in LensWork Magazine: We will either show them our world, or ask them about theirs". I think I'm just starting to learn how to do that. Let's stick together, and keep working on it. Joe
