I have bad news, you will have to do a lot more than build your own camera.
You must also win 10 international photography competitions using only the very first iPhone, and you can only use a stuffed animal once.

Can't you spell can't? Plowing is not misspelled.

thats cool.
My father played golf and my mother was the driving force in my life. Im a single dad raising a now 16 yo daughter. so Im a home dad and casually work from home and prioritize everything around my daughter, 6 dance lessons a week, netball training and comps, musical theater, and music training she plays 3 instruments and sings.

Damn... I knew wedding photography was tough, but that's a really high bar to clear in order to be able to do it. It sounds like learning rocket surgery, with all that it requires might actually be an easier path...

Where do you come from?
Here in the US, nobody ever went to jail for making a mistake photographing a wedding. Of course, in England, you can go to jail for voicing an unpopular idea, so why not throw someone in jail for missing a few shots at a wedding.
Thank God I live in America.

Not at all. I've done well from time-to-time, and Wife has a real job.
Yes I don’t get it either.
i read it as someone who is confident in his skills as a photographer has decided to monetize his skills and is looking to add wedding photography to his repertoire.
OP read it with a grumpy old man filter on, that’s the problem.

Not surprised you laughed. It suggests that "starting a business" is putting up a webpage and printing out a batch of business cards before you know the trade. That you are about "winging it".
Maybe would have been cleverer to say they were an experienced photographer looking to supplement their day job income with work as a second shooter. Then they don't sound so much of an ambitious rival. Why would anyone want to employ a rival? Salons are not pleased when one of their own hairdressers sets up their own salon and takes some of the customers with them either.

Has nothing to do with just photographers, but photography just seems to attract a large number of shoot for 1 week professional the next.Do all photographers make fun of new photographers or is it just DPR posters?

exactly.Perhaps it's an American spelling. There was a craze for phonetic spelling in the USA in the 1890s, and some of the new spellings still survive. Dewey (of Decimal System fame) was active in that movement.

I tend to agree with the tone of the thread. It's like saying, hey I just started a plumbing business but I'd like to find an experienced plumber to follow around so I can learn how to install a new faucet. Seems like photography is one of the only trades where one thinks buying a fancy camera will give them instant access to making big bucks.Do all photographers make fun of new photographers or is it just DPR posters?

"Plowing" is how I've always seen it here in the US.
Oh, by the way the contraction for "cannot" is "can't" - notice the apostrophe that you missed. You're welcome.

Kind of like being a second shooter for an established photographer.
So you agree with what the person in the OP is trying to do.
You should have been more clear about that.

Or....
His business is portrait or product photography but wants to experience weddings as a possible future option.
He didn't say his business was weddings.
The OP is a nothing burger.
Picking on an out-of-context quote is childish & stupid.

No it's not.
You have no idea what his business is.
Could be more like saying "I started a business fixing motorcycles but I'd like to work with an auto mechanic to learn about cars".
I have a great nephew who is now a licensed electrician. Guess how he started.I tend to agree with the tone of the thread.

Yup, following around a licensed electrician until he had the knowledge/met requirements in his state to get his license.

It's common here. The old, insecure members tend to do this.Do all photographers make fun of new photographers or is it just DPR posters?
Thankfully, as they age, their arrogance will die off with them.
