  I most certainly do love my work [stills photographer] ...most of the time.
  
  Used to be a hobby just like working on your car, but I'm now running a successful business. I certainly don't do it as a hobby now like I used to, in fact I don't like photography that's not work related anymore, or at least at the moment.
  
  It's mostly because I now put so much energy and thought into photography that when I'm taking pictures anywhere it needs to be done to a really high standard, and that takes more time and energy then most hobbiest photography allows.
  
  But I like it like that, I'd rather have a day job I truly enjoyed with the occasional shitty bit, then have a naff job with an escapist hobby. Just the way I roll.
