About 10 years ago, I combined 2 of my "loves": flying and photography to start an aerial photography business.

It's been a fun part time business ever since and I'm very well compensated (hundreds of dollars per hour) for the little time I spend at it. In addition, it's a terrific change from sitting in front of my computer all day.

Over the years I've been asked to take photos of weddings, babies, families, dogs, kids, you name it but each time my answer is the same...

"only if I can take it from my airplane"

That brings a chuckle but it's true.

By focusing on aerial photograpy, (my love) and saying no to all other types of photography (I DON'T love) I've been asked to do, I'm still having a great time flying around taking photos as much as when I first started.

If I would have said yes I would probably have a big full time photography business by now and would spend my days taking photos of crying babies, hyper brides (and their mothers) barking dogs...

I can't think of a more miserable way to spend my time! :-)
