Odd jobs/making money as an amature? Need suggestions.

Your stepping off the dock before the boat arrives. You should keep your regular job and do photography on the side until you have built up the photography work enough to switch over.

That's an excellent way to put it.

I worked as a photographer for a long time while having a "regular" job. While it took some time, I'm now able to earn my living from just my photography.

But it's no one thing that does it. I shoot for a local magazine, but I also shoot for two national companies and find my own clients, as well. If I were shooting for only one of those entities, I'd probably starve.

I'd get great photos of the progression of my weight loss, but I'd still starve.
 
Generally like your work Dan. There are some minor points on most of the shots but my question would be What do the people in the photos think about the shot? That's the key to making a living - Does your client like your work well enough to pay for it.
