OK, so here we are, in 2011...
The stress of my job, and including that of having a child has taken its toll, so my digestive system is a total mess and requires surgery to fix.
Over December, family on my wife's side (more specifically her cousin) announced she's getting married. They saw some of the photography I shot on the fridge and walls and about three weeks later I was told I am being hired as the wedding photographer.
I think I take pretty average amateur pics, so, considering the amount I am getting paid for this little exercise it has dawned upon me that hell I would have to do something about it, so I am seriously looking at doing part-time tuition to ensure I get up to speed to do a proper job.
In the process of finding a suitable college, I realized that, why the fuck must I continue to kill myself at my current job to pay the bills. Why not try and go pro, and earn a living off this kind of work, then supplement that with the other work I do, such as engineering. As it is being creative here is treated with indifference. When I got here instruction manuals and DTP was unheard of.
