Hi! :)
I know what you mean about doing it professionally and that becoming a hassle. I'm trying to make and keep writing my professional thing and it's a challenge, at times, for sure. I've only dabbled a little with the camera, but it's always seemed to me (from following other properly talented people on here) that this can be quite a nice place to be a photographer. Or an artist, in general. It's a place where that sort of thing is still rewarded, and surely, that's not nothing. Keep shooting, I'd say:) And nice to meet you.
