Sounds like you don't like your job to much. Shooting to much also can wear
down the creative drive as well ( I have worked in a couple Labs) I see a
lot of tired / or tiresome photography) , if one only does one type of
photography professionally.

 I have been doing this along time (18 years of sacrifice) I a while back
decided to be diverse,...that is to survive in the photographic profession.
I don't intend to use the computer to generate "Art" ever, Although I won't
condemn those that decide that is for them,... I use it for producing sample
imagery only. There is a seperation for me between the two.

I believe doing photography professionally leaves one with less flexiability
to dictate decide the business side. That is why I may at some point find
the need to expore different paths within the future.

It "DOES" sound like you love photography that is the most important and
should be the most important to "WE" photographers of this group.

Best Regards
