The camera was a tool I mainly used for a way of life.  It was my main income for over 30 years.   Although with the digital age  -- photography only cost > with the time involved. In the past, it was an expensive to be a working photographer = if you didn't sell your work -- the camera/darkroom set idle. A 8X10 sheet of chrome and processing was about $5 > every time you clicked the shutter.

Don't get me wrong, I get it. I did what I call "social photography" (weddings, portraits, events) for quite some time and grew to hate it so I quit. After about ten years away from it I started shooting again as a hobby and I enjoy it more now than I ever have.

I started shooting weddings /portraits /etc in the late 70's .  Never grew to hate the work >>  just the "photo" world changed  >  digital did a number on the business.
