Our work building is beautifully landscaped; this is just one of the patches of colorful flowers that are maintained. I love working in this place!

One of my co-workers, Lisa, noticed an article in a local paper about a photography studio that was voted best in that particular town; it included a picture. She looked at it and thought that some pictures I’d taken recently of my friend’s (Betsy) kids which I’d shown her were much better.

She point blank asked me why I don’t just start a photography business, why don’t I actively search out positions, sell myself, etc., etc.

That’s a good question!

Let’s examine the pros & cons:

Pros

I’d love my job
There’d be less stress at work
I’d enjoy what I’m doing
I wouldn’t have to deal with some unpleasant folks at my present job anymore

Cons

- the expense
– renting a place, advertising, set up, insurance
- I seriously don’t think I’m good enough
– should take classes (again, the expense)
- need a zoom lens
- I get along great with kids & animals, but adults, not so good sometimes!
- I have a VERY hard time promoting myself
- I’m not very organized

Hmmm…
