Grandma's not able to take pictures of their Grand Babies....it is just not right.
I would keep at it if I were you though, obsessions make the best professions.

Raid... Funny... yet so real []
Ahaha Raid so so true. I was shooting a wedding a couple of months back and one lady there said to the bride in a huff, "I would have been able to get some great photos for you but that photographer guy kept getting in the way".
She was one of those people that had just bought a new body and lens kit and thought she was the next best thing. Luckily I was good friends with the bride and she replied something along the lines of "Well I

I have always had obsessions. I dive into the fire head first and see where I end up. Almost always it's fleeting. I have dabbled in graphic design, website design, programming, I.T., calligraphy, sculpting, graphite portraits, paintball, golf, running, mountain biking, writing, even went so far as to read classic american literature in chronological order, writing an essay on the "great conversation" and how they all touched on the subjects of the author's time. I have excelled at most of my endeavors but I get distracted so easily.. And then there was photography.
I'm hooked. It seems to be a huge pot, of which I'll never scrape the bottom. The technological advances alone mean that you'll always be learning, then there's the pleasing reminder with every shoot that basic principals and techniques are still demanding attention regardless of how neat my camera or equipment is. I can't.. stop. It is a medium that feeds every aspect of my brain, the creative, the logical, I get to geek out on gear, I expose myself to mountainous surroundings that I never would have before (still thinking about that lightning storm with all those stars). Post production touches on my graphic design background, and I'm building myself a website to boot. My absolute favorite thing about photography is the state of mind it puts me in. I'm at peace, everything slows down. I can breathe and appreciate how beautiful everything is. So I suppose it touches my spiritual side as well.
Most definitely an obsession, though I'm getting a lot more commissions the longer I shoot. Here's hoping. []
Photography is a hobby for me.
My passion is aviation.
I learned photography as part of my graduate studies as an Architect in the early 90
