Definitely an expensive hobby at the moment, but I am seriously thinking that in the future a job. I have totally fallen in love with photography.

I am definitely a hobby camera owner, no hope of ever making it to be a pro and to be honest no real desire.

It used to be a job when I photographed weddings & portraits but I hated the hassle I sometimes ran into dickering over money. I had to protect myself to cover my processing cost by asking for a percentage of the expected cost up front. That was in the days of film cameras.
Now I could sell my prints but don't have the financial need. I certainly don't shoot weddings anymore. Most of my friends are too old, dead, or "been there done that". LOL
