What do the Pros Do?

second that.

and on vacations i only take a $150 point and shoot.

Photography is my job.

My hobbies are competitive pistol shooting, competitve rifle shooting, R/C planes, reading, movies and I enjoy bicycling, camping (with a 30 foot trailer), and kayaking/canoeing when I want to get away.

I have hobbies to get away from work, to relax, to clear my mind.
I know some photogs that shoot images different from 'work' images - portrait photogs that do landscapes for example. Not me.
