If you're looking at a score of your photos in an art museum, it's not a hobby anymore.

If you're on your own roof, it's still a location.

If you're posing for a guy with a camera phone, it's not modeling.

My favorite so far.

If you have posted many times,  it does not make you right.
If you have not posted many times,  it does not make you wrong.
If you have posted many times,  it does not mean you do not have a life.   Maybe you just love photography and not TV.

TV?!??!!? Whats That?

It's still not fashion or glamour. It could be used as a submission as part of a special talent competition for "porn actress of the year".

Is this something that should be shared with the class?

I meant to say...Is there something you've seen that should be shared? A link to a portfolio? So we can better judge it?

If you're writing a business and marketing plan, it's not a hobby.

If you’re bleeding taxes left and right, it’s called self employment (And, you get hit by every tax they can sick to you).

If your self employed...you're not rich

If your girlfriend doesn't understand you're not alone

If your camera never leaves your hand you're probably going to get carpal tunnel syndrome soon

If you cry every time you do your monthly accounting you're probably me

If you're hanging on by the skin of your teeth you need more shoots

If you`re nether region is "hairless", it cant be an artistic shot.

Just something I have heard many say but something I disagree with.
