As a working parent, I'm busy during the work week. I do take my camera to work with me and have managed to get out at lunch or after work on occassions. However, most of my photography time comes on the weekends when I have the spare time to go out with my family.

There's got to be a reason why you take most of your pictures during a certain part of the week right? Simple as that!

I work in a restaurant, so I probably have more off days during the week than the weekend. I just got my Nikon D-80 at Christmas so I am trying to trip the shutter as much as possible.

See, I knew that some people would work more during the weekend than during the week when I was writing the poll

I get to go out more during weekdays (because of university), and basically stay home during weekends. So weekdays for me.

I would say it's probably pretty even in terms of "I'm intentionally going out to take pictures" - I probably do that once on the weekend and once during the week. But since I take pictures every day for my threesixtyfive and daily pleasures projects, weekdays weigh heavier simply because there are more of them!

I had to vote weekdays because I carry my camera everywhere. Although I work bankers hours I travel around town all day and find many photo ops along the way.
I plan photo trips for the weekends so truely I thinks its 50-50.

I take most of my photos on the weekend mainly because I work during the week and my office is not that exciting a subject. And I take photos of protests and parties, which take place on weekends.

Default Weekends vs. Weekdays

I take pictures every day, but I take more pictures on the weekends when my husband and I can go out together and explore. It's always more fun to take pictures when he's along for the ride. He likes to go places and I like to take pictures, so it's a perfect match.
