Back in 1988 I was making good $$$ in the day job and more than that at the weekends shooting babes and selling the stuff to mags and mail order. So took the plunge to be a full time pornographer.
From earning $$$$$$$$ a year I went down to earning $$$$$, missed the monthly paycheck
Took me 2 years to build the business up to replace it, but it was worth it.
