Photography - A Hobby or Business?
|
| Written by JoyHeartzz |
| At what point does one's hobby cease being that, and becomes a business instead? My camera is often found in my hand ready to capture that perfect memory, you know the kind of memory that only a picture can translate to another person. The picture of the stop action of the bat hitting the ball, when my granddaughter hit her first homerun in slow pitch softball. Or the one when she's positioned herself properly to tag the runner, trying to steal a base in a fast pitch softball game. Soon I found myself making pictures of all the members of her team, in action packed games, only to present these to the moms of the other girls. One such Mom had not been able to attend any of the games, and was able to share in her daughters memories, just by seeing the pictures. Hmmmmm... could I have made some money? Probably, yes, but I didn't. However, the wheels did start turning in that direction. With a little encouragment, and discovering there are places who will pay for stock pictures. I haven't actually sold any yet, but I have uploaded quite a few for the world to see. And the wheels keep turning as to other ways to make my love of photography into a business. |
