That is why they call it work, or a job. Very few people get to do for a living what they love to do, and still love to do it.
All my life I have been involved with photography. I used to point out to fellow employees that across the country millions of people are hurrying home from work to go work in their home darkrooms and print photos or process film. It was still a job, and at midnight finishing up a big project just so you can start again at 8:00 AM it was no fun at all.
Over the years I dated a lot of different women until I finally found Mrs. Carrera when I was in my late 30s. Many of them wanted to learn about photography. So I was happy to show them my darkroom technique.
