I hate packing
I am extremely organizational challenged.
Paper just seems to reproduce overnight.
Clothes jump out of closets to land on the floor.
I have trouble finding the top of my desk.

Why Tokyo?
I have been asked many times, Why am I returning to Tokyo?
What do I find so appealing?
Photos for fun
I love creating photos
That’s why I do this.. the sheer joy I get from creating an interesting image.
I spend time on Photo Camel… as well as other forums.Â
There is a challenge to take pictures of drops. I have already done some, with some of my favourites part of this series.
I have been playing around with my lensbaby… so I thought why not try to use it for drops.
I did not get what I wanted… but I did get some interesting shots.

Have part Time Photographers Changed the Photographic Industry?Â
Part Timers Change Industry
Have part Time Photographers Changed the Photographic Industry?Â
Yes
I hear and see regularly the complaint from Professional photographers that Part time Photographers are Destroying their livelihood.
The response from the part timers is, we are not taking business away from you, because we are just doing it for fun.
Your “hobby” has changed the industry
If you shoot a model for TFP ( or charge them for it), if you submit images to web sites and magazines for publishing, if you submit your images to micro stock agencies… you are making it more challenging for a full time pro to make a living.

Certificate for Pros
Certified Professional Photographer… not me
There is a group of photographers who want to the government to certify professional photographers.
Their main reason, I believe, is to limit competition and help save their livelihood.
I think it is too late and a waste of energy.
This digital revolution has changed the market for photography… Likely forever. This includes micro stock, weekend shooters, low cost of entry.
Technical knowledge isn’t the issue
It isn’t just the advent of digital that is the issue. It isn’t the lack of technical skills that is causing the demise of the pro market.
The biggest issue with photography is supply and demand. The demand for photographers is decreasing, the supply of photographers is increasing.
Those that stay in the industry have to realize that a professional photographer means being a business person. A business person who just happens to use a camera.
