I chose this career because I think if I could make enough money, and was skillful in this area, it would be a perfect career for me. I could make my schedule, choose what kind of photography I want to do, and who for. I would also be able to go wherever I want, because there's nowhere in the world where photography doesn't have prospect. I'ts all about the freedom for me :)
