I was good, very good. I can say this without fear of appearing immodest, for I have, sadly, completely lost that skill. I took a job as a sidewalk portrait artist at a theme park, doing tourist portraits, NOT CHARICATURES, but quick sketches. I made $1.30 for each portrait; the rest went to the company. And I had to buy my own supplies. I did up to 70 portraits every day, and I burned out quickly. <br />Congratulations and trying to get your lost love back!ethelmaepotter!http://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737571784016689401.post-56318239136488421292010-02-05T21:16:44.600-06:002010-02-05T21:16:44.600-06:00I&#39;m glad you&#39;ve found your passion again!

I love photography as well, but never have pursued it academically or professionally. I&#39;ve toyed with the idea, but ultimately am scared that it will make me hate it. That&#39;s usually what happens to hobbies that become chores. It&#39;s so great that you are getting back into it, because you really have a wonderful talent for photography. I love your food photography especially!Life Abroadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11553768639092122278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737571784016689401.post-23972953619460951202010-02-04T17:19:13.226-06:002010-02-04T17:19:13.226-06:00I love photography, hence why I am taking a class.

Glad you&#39;re finding your love for photography again, you are very talented. I&#39;ve heard a few people that have gotten into photography as a profession lose the passion. You have to fight to keep it alive, like so many other areas of life! ;o)Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07724504282853296027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737571784016689401.post-234571109778549972010-02-04T13:38:33.225-06:002010-02-04T13:38:33.225-06:00Beautiful photo!<br /><br />Wow, great job with the workouts.

I hate when things suck away the passion we have, and that typically comes in the form of someone using your skill for something you&#39;re not passionate about.

I love photography but everything I know has always been self taught up until a class I took last semester. The teacher was odd, he never gave us back our work so we didn&#39;t know our grades, and with my own personal issues going on I decided to drop the class because I thought I would fail it if I didn&#39;t. Turns out I would have gotten a B. But I&#39;m glad I did it, because the class was ruining my love for it and I knew it just wasn&#39;t right for me.Sarah Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16703630449276209732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737571784016689401.post-81087342949871304232010-02-03T20:59:02.333-06:002010-02-03T20:59:02.333-06:00love this!!In this wonderful life...http://www.blogger.com/profile/06467383580516146911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737571784016689401.post-61105028340013668562010-02-03T18:45:54.536-06:002010-02-03T18:45:54.536-06:00Glad your passion is back. :) That picture is gorgeous!Kassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04504944426310262808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737571784016689401.post-55978552662555139232010-02-03T18:20:35.114-06:002010-02-03T18:20:35.114-06:00Well I&#39;m glad you&#39;re finding the love in photography again!
