so now we both shoot some of the most beautiful women in the world sans wardrobe... I do have to shoot some stuff that I'm not patriotically interested in, like BG however that is the nature of the job.

I've read several post at ddpreview about guys that shoot what they love and now get paid for it... usually specialized stuff like dogs or pets... a few even shoot toys that has evolved to a product photography biz... why on earth would someone go to all the trouble necessary to be a pro shooter and create a job they didn't even want?

the only guys I meet like that were the brooks institute grads shooting on set....
