    At $100 per shoot she can pay off her camera in one year doing one shoot a week.

    Assuming you don’t value your time, sure. Pro-photographers charge a lot more than that. Also, who wants to give up a year’s worth of weekends for a fancy camera?

      Let’s look at the rest of that paragraph you selectively quoted:

      At $100 per shoot she can pay off her camera in one year doing one shoot a week. That’s if it’s a hobby.

      [emphasis added]

      What a bad faith attempt to stir shit up over nothing.

        ???

        Get some thicker skin, my guy. If you’re getting paid for the work, its going to be more than a hobby. Especially if you’re planning to work 50 separate gigs.

        Ffs, if you can file taxes as a business, we’re well past the point of hobbying. That’s just a part time job

          This isn’t about having thin skin, this is about you being unnecessarily combative. Don’t flatter yourself thinking I’m torn up about it.

          Hence where the rest of my original comment comes in. I know you like cherrypicking excerpts devoid of context, but ffs everyone can see my whole fucking comment. It’s right there. And you’re acting like you’re actually making a point here? Go away.
