36. I appreciate you're professional ethics

And your photography talent. Your hobby suits you. I know professionals with less of a natural eye, and much less time under their belts. I have a feeling you could have made a living at it if you'd chosen to. However, it's not an easy living, and it sounds as if you found a very good niche for yourself in life, which suited you just fine. We should all be so fortunate!

I'm glad you're able to share you're lovely photos with an audience. Too often talented "hobbyist" work never gets shared, and is lost to the masses. Which is a real shame in my opinion.
