I just took a job where I'm going to be working 60-80 hours per week.. Amazing pay, but hours like that are going to leave almost No time for photography. That and I'll be away from home, so I'll only have the laptop, and I refuse to edit on a laptop screen lol. So I'm about to be feeling that pain. I'm trying to get out and take as many pictures as I can before then!

Yeah. I was unemployed for a few months at the beginning of this year, and it reignited the photography fire. Then I got a full time job, and now I shoot less. Having steady money is nice, but I would much rather be shooting.

Being offered jobs to shoot PR, takes about an hour, 2 at the most, easy money and decent pay for doing it. Also builds up my contacts and leads to more shoots.

Not allowed to do it in work time even if I make up the time... so ergo no job & no extra cash, no building up client base and one angry and frustrated photographer!
