    I’m not so sure.

    I guess you could argue that the rideshare driver doesn’t own a car solely for rideshare, but the same argument could be made about the camera.

    I’d argue that the rideshare driver is putting more wear and tear on the vehicle than the photographer is per shoot.

    OOP maybe doesn’t realize it, but her post is perhaps an argument for spending less on the camera.

    The photographer even at these rates that she percieves to be low, is going to pay off her camera before the rideshare driver pays off the car.

      Driving is not as skilled as photography. High end photography requires a lot of technical understanding of light and the camera settings.

        Even if that were true (most of the time I get a rideshare it’s in a place you couldn’t pay me to drive in)…

        Driving is way more risky than photography, unless you’re shooting in a war zone.
