anyone else made the transition from hobbyist to /p/ro?
I'm not super pro, I'm only at a point where photography is paying 80% of my bills. lots of small jobs and I get one or two bigger contract a year where I can hire 3-4 assistants and get to manage a staff. which is great.
the down side is that I spend 5% of my time shooting 50% editing, 30% invoicing and book keeping, 10% wondering and stressing about paying bills, 4% wondering how I'm gonna pay rent this month, and 1% telling people to fuck off with their exposure bucks.
5% shooting is probably pretty optimistic, it's probably closer to 1 - 0.5%
