This is my first post in the forum. Just my two cents, but I recently decided to part time pro after a few years of being a hobby. My goal is to make enought money to provide me with income to engage in the artistic side of the art. For my own pleasure and at request I shoot cars, auto races, etc. My advice is to establish your goal: What do you want to get out of it? Then get a website, build your portfolio, get business cards, and all the other great advice that you have already received.
As a person who has just started out, the most important advice I have is stay motivated. Set your sights on the goal and do it. Nothing is beyond our grasp if we really want it. Im not a salesman and I hate selling myself, but in order to be successful in this field I have forced myself to do those things I hate. I shot a wedding last year as a favor, and the photos turned out really nice. I hate weddings, but Ill shoot them or whatever else to make money so that I can pursue my personall interst.
I hope this helps and is not to spaced out.

Great photo! I think some people should take it easy with the negative comments. Its a nice photo and the poster doesnt feel the need to use BW film anymore. That doesn't mean others have to stop. A lot of you are defensive for no good reason. Yeah, I could ponder a photo and talk about the microscopic details such as blown highlights, which 90% of people will never notice anyway, but I prefer just to enjoy the art.
More encouragement would help, and less HATORAID.
