I'm just trying to show that its not all honey and money *all* of the time. The media do love to portray professional photographers as some sort of utopian existence; whereas those of us doing the day to day grind-it-out type stuff know thats far from the truth. I get shoots I love and shoots I hate. But at the end of the day you have to *love* the process of making images or you won't survive as a pro in this business for very long! PP Chris and Celso,

I honestly think that with all that negative stuff you talked about, a professional photographer really has to love what he's doing... And even if you only get 10min from a model for instance you still have the opportunity as for amateurs they have to settle for what they can get... Just my 2 cents... Keep it up!
