Reaction:

I enjoyed reading the article because it contains a lot of ways that fit me to join. I have already experienced five of the ways and I have gotten a lot of benefits from them, but I did not get money from them. First, I put one picture that I captured in one of the local magazine page. Also, I took a part in the "wedding photography" way, but I did not like this experience much. Third, I always took pictures in the family events, especially the most important one and I loved it! And I used to have a "Flicker account," but I made it private, because there are many people who steal photos in this site and I protect mine and do not get involved in this kind of problems, and that includes the "photography website" way. Also I taught my cousin how to use the professional cameras and decide which one is the best for him. Photographers will be encouraged and willed to give more of their skills by these ways of using photography. And I really want to use this hobby as a part time job some day!
