LOL! I'm a semi-pro photographer (stock sales, corporate/commercial work, train crew portraits) who shoots a large format 4x5 system or medium format most of the time and have yet to find someone willing to pay my travel expenses. I still manage to shoot about a roll (120) of film a day, Monday through Friday of mostly trains anyway. In general, things that are fun to do just aren't that high paying. Unfortunately. I can often spend a day getting a railroad photo/photo shoot set up perfectly, but only get paid for the result--not my time etc.

There's a guy at my LHS that spends his weekends chasing trains around the midwest. He seems to be in it for the enjoyment of the pursuit rather than the money, although his collection consists of about 45,000 slides after selling off over half of them (he bought a few collections along the way). He makes sales from time to time, but mostly does it because he loves it.

He still has the day (and part-time night) job.

Been there, done that. I've been a Photographer for 40 years.

Let me ask you. How many parties, birthdays, weddings, graduations and such have you been invited to, with the last words being, " Oh yes, can you bring your camera?

Boy, does that sound familiar! I've been a mobile DJ on the side for over 25 years and there's a similar number of people that would love to have me do their wedding receptions, singles dances, New Year's Eve parties, etc. "for the exposure".
