I have loved photography for as long as I can remember. I got my first 35mm Canon and shot pics for school papers and yearbooks. Years later got into Nikon and the D40 then D70 , then D200 and now D7000. I have done what so many others have done with pouring time, money , stress and effort into being a photographer. All with zero returns , No prints sold , no magazine shots , no published pictures at all except 1 on a web site. Years of banging my head against the cinder block it feels like. I seldom pick up my camera at all, I look at it with hatred , feeling no joy just the agony of being rejected and defeated on all angles. I know I'm preaching to the choir here when I say this ...The market is just saturated , too many camera phones and people just blasting away with the button down and saying "i'll fix it in photoshop" ...People not respecting the skill and time to frame shots..Whats that saying about when things come easy people stop caring ...Final gripe , the tons of people that want your pictures but then want all the work for free.. A few people have wanted to get copies of my pics and blow them up then scoff at the cost of printing them at any shop or site ....Sorry to be a buzz kill ..I'm just tired and defeated ...Im even thinking on selling my gear
