I got a check for $250 today in the mail for some of mine.

Unfortunately, they weren't taken with the Leica...had to go with the D300 to turn the images around in a couple of hours to meet their press deadline.

I actually made enough last year to justify filing a Schedule C and taking depreciation on my camera stuff....

I like having something that I can do that is different from my "real job" but could be income-producing some day in the future if I really needed it.

I have a friend who's a full-time eye surgeon who shoots a wedding or two every weekend. Lord knows he doesn't need the money. He just likes having the outlet for his time and creative energy. He probably gives the money he makes from it to charity if I know him.

Thanks.
