Neon and Reflection in the Water

I'm getting such joy out of my camera as a creative outlet, perhaps at some point as a source of limited income. AAA's magazine for Idaho and Oregon, Via, is going to use a photo of mine in their next issue! I've asked only for photo credit, but once I've got a couple of reputable published credits, people actually might start paying me. Although, it's only slightly more difficult to get paid these days as a photographer than it is, say, as a writer or an actor. Just as I won't write for free (this blog being my personal outlet, and therefore an exception to said rule), I won't do photography for free for long either. I will fight all my life in my own little way to see that any creative being can earn a legitimate living doing what gives her joy. So there.
