In the pool, pool deck, shower, bed etc. He just wanted them for himself. He recently lost quite a lot of weight and has buffed up at the gym.

I considered taking the job because it might be an interesting lucrative niche market and I chatted with a couple friends, but I declined the job. No....I'm NOT gay (and neither is he) and it probably would have been fun, and I could use the money, but...

I'll let y'all come up with a line I could have put on my business card

You don't have to have $100k equip. But, you can't do it with a p/s either Any photo businesses on the island ? I would start with that vs. stock if I were you. Then, try the stock later.
I have no desire to photo weddings, but thought it would be neat to get a decent camera and collect good shots of things I see now and then.

Beautiful Scenery, and lots of out of the way neat stuff that most people don't get to see much.

The more I read the rules, it gets a lot more complicated.

I'm still just kicking cans at this point, but still looks interesting.

How often do weddings actually graduate?

I had the perfect phone number for your card, but it seems it is already taken. Sorry about that.

Default Photographers here... please step inside.

Hello all

I have dabbled in freelance sports photography with some stock photography. I am active duty military, so my time is limited for home much I can do...

Here is my website and I regularly sell images, recently one to a magazine for a full page image use...good money, but needs a lot of patience.

How many have you sold, and what is a typical price you've been getting? I'm thinking of doing this sort of thing myself. Mostly for fun, but an occasional check for $0.15 would be kind of a kick too.
