I tried that with photography ... yea ... I would say that it was marginally successful ... until I actually kept track of expenses. Then I found out that it was actually still a great roaring bonfire that I just kept throwing 20 dollar bills into.

I've had one photography sale on Etsy lol. $25 or so print of a peacock. :|

I've taken engagement, wedding, and holiday photos for family and I've made $5 doing that.

Most pro's these days do far more than just photography. Teaching, speaking, writing. It is a full day every day.

Yeah and once it starts becoming that, it takes the fun out of it.

I enjoy taking creative shots of things and if someone happens to want a copy, I'm happy to let them pay me something small for it.

I gave up on doing anything free for friends and especially family. If they're not willing to pay or learn, they don't get my discount. Tired of doing a days worth of photos and a weeks worth of edits for nothing but a Thanks. Same applies to computers and cars.

I've done 4 weddings. All started at $2,000

Computers are an upfront $50 for diagnostics and $40 per hour to resolve issues. Any software/hardware is bought by the person for me to work with.

Cell Phone fixes are variable

Car maintenance is pendant on if the person wants to learn how to change oil and a tire or not.

Tracie, did you end up buying that HID kit for your Mazda?

I don't do that much editing, maybe a day's worth or so depending on how many photos were taken. You either like my style or you don't lol. My family just always asks me because I have a DSLR and no one else does.

While we are here, anyone want to buy a 20x30 canvas print of Austin, TX?

Leingod · 07-10-2015, 03:01 PM

I'm the lead photographer for the upcoming World Series of Bocce in my city. That'll be $5,000 with all teams edited. All other shots are stock. If teams want personalized shots, it'll be $150.

But for all that money, they've hired a guy with top quality dslr's and lenses. A DJI Phantom 2 drone with GoPro 4 for aerial shots. Enough backdrops and lighting to blind Mr. madwi, and portable laptop/printer equipment for quick edits on the spot. And I may outsource a secondary photographer to help with the load of it all.

Not yet. Money is pretty tight this month and my only "free" check is going towards a trip to the Texas coast for a day.
