lol...I thought I gave the tips for getting your start-up capital.
But hey some people don't want to borrow I guess.
If you can get your hands on 6+ Megapixel Canon...the bigger bulky ones, they work pretty good too in the bright outdoors. Lens size is everything, so the smaller compacts won't give the desired results.
Try conducting a few outdoor casual TFP shoots and see what's the results and figure out which mistakes you made.
Start from there...keep your job and build up slowly.
I don't know what else to say...if you can't see yourself doing what you want to do...then you probably won't...you have to have the vision and organize it clearly in your head in a way that you can actually see yourself doing it...then it's pretty much a fact you'll do it.
I'd like to hear other opinions on this...how can Mr. Audiominer start his photography business?
