Photography
While in school, I couldn't spend money on the images I wanted for projects, and while the availability of free stock images is out there, it was lots of time spent looking and finaly choosing something that "might" work. I picked up a camera in order to capture something that I thought of when starting a project, and ignited a new passion. As rewarding as it is to shoot an image for a project, just running around with a camera and capturing a moment in time as I see it infinitly more rewarding. How often is it that people get to use their passion professionally?
