Photography is my side gig.
My freshman year in high school, I was told to pick my dream job, dream house, & dream car, then plan out my finances based on these factors. Most people picked things like surgeon, mansion in Seattle & Porsche. The lives they planned out were pretty comfortable. I picked photographer, log cabin, Jeep. Still, my finances were in the red. Okay, so I shouldn't be a photographer...? I decided to settle for being an adventurer who also loves to take pictures. It also gives me an excuse to stop at every switchback for a photo break. People like Jack Morris and Nathanael Billings make a living at photography while traveling and hiking. Maybe one day that'll be me, but for now I get to live life as an advocate for ending poverty. |
