Any professional photographers here?

Brother, save yourself some time, trouble and heartache, photography is a poor employer. All of our specialized skills have been computerized and anyone can, or thinks they can, do most of it themselves, rendering pros almost extinct. If you're gonna pursue photography, I would recommend that you do it for yourself because photography is something that most people don't want to pay for. I belonged to a gallery, had shows, won awards, and all I was ever able to do was earn a little pocket change; art does not pay the bills. Even in the best of economic times, there are dozens of applicants for every staff photography job opening, and like hotreds stated; wedding photography is a tough field that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
