Judy,
If you're in the mood, I'd like to hear more about "unhooking your
livelihood from your art" (offlist if you wish) it is something I have been
STRUGGLING with!!! I have been a graphic designer for years and years and
if not for the joy I get from photography, I believe I might have "gone
under" a few years back (!)...so, I have kept the two very separate, not
wanting to force the thing that is my 'joy' to make money for me to live
on, yet some people seem to do well that way...

So, how do you support your "art habit" or does it support you? (this
question then, would not apply...)
