This is true. I've often thought about doing landscaping because I
enjoy being
outdoors and I like the manual labor that comes with gardening. I used
to work
in a professional custom photo lab and I swear that was the driest
period in my
life creatively and photographically. Now I work in an exceedingly
boring
environment doing Unix tech support and system engineering. I don't like
it very
much, but it pays the bills and I've made more pictures in the past two
months
than I've made in the past two years. I guess I'm so starving for
creativity all
day long that I have the energy to make stuff at night and on the
weekends. But
I sure do wish I was a little older and had the foresight and means to
buy a
property here in Boston about six years ago, doing something like Judy
outlined.
With the market the way it is now, I'm not sure I have a chance buying a
one-room
shack in an alley let alone an income property.
my 2 cents,
christine
