For Fun? or For Money? (vote)

Do you shoot for fun, or for money? Notice there is no "both" option, so you've gotta pick one.

I think photography is fun, challenging, and a great hobby. If someday down the road I can make some money at it, that would be great too. But for now, I'm a little wet behind the ears to offer it as a service to anyone.

Both, but if it's not fun, it's not worth it.

It's fun before the cash.

I shoot just for fun, and to feed my hunger for photography

The money part it`s just something relative, if i can make money from it, it`s good (i can then use them to buy some new lenses, or keep them for a new camera), if i can`t make money from it, it`s still good

I think that you you turn your hobby in your job, it starts to get boring, and than you will not be very happy as you one were about taking a photo.

Mostly for money

We really need a both!

I shoot because I love it.

I also shoot to feed my habit and hopefully within 2 years, live by.

There really is a both for me.

For years... I wanted to shoot for a living (more than just side stuff)...

But

Life lead me in another direction and a career in another field was born. I shoot for pure enjoyment now... but the little kid in me still wants to do it for a living.

I am a novice and shoot only for the fun of it. It would be nice to make some profit out of it, but I enjoy shooting even though I don't.

I shoot for both. I make money almost everyday. Not 100% of our income but enough to make ends meet. And I have fun. When it's no longer fun, I'll quit. Did that once and stepped away for about 10 years. So, because there is no category for both, I did not vote.
