Matt Laur Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I, personally, make the internet work. Well, some days it feels that way, anyway. Just my little corner of it. I'll bet there are a lot of IT people here... it's genetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshroot Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I, personally, try make Photo.net work. Well, some days it feels that way, anyway. Just my little corner of it....etc Seriously though, Photo.net is my job now. Wedding photography, general editorial work, extreme sports photography, and corporate A/V-photographic support have all paid my bills at various times over the past decade.

felixg Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Depending on when you catch me I am a photographer, writer, educator or research scientist ... or some combination of those. No. That's an evasion. I am someone who has spent his life trying to avoid getting pinned down in a real job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknowles Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I retired from a long career (hydrologist) to pursue a personal hobby into a personal business (gee, photography, what a novel concept), and while I love being my own boss, being my own staff is another issue and matter, but becoming a better photographer is the rewarding and enjoyable journey on the long road of the rest of my life.

stp Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 State agency biologist, soon to retire and live in a camper for a year or two while traveling all of the gravel roads I can find in the western U.S., along with 5D and 7II camera systems. I plan to become incredibly famous for my landscapes, but unfortunately it will posthumously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
