Oh, you’re not wrong. There are lots of day-jobbing creatives that I know as well.
I’m one of them. I work a good tech job and do photography as a hobby.
Forgive me if I seemed overly focused on these folks and their lucky circumstances. If I’m being honest, I’m a bit jealous they get to spend all their time focused on their creative interests when I only get to do it part time.
If money wasn’t a requirement, I’d be out photographing every day instead of writing web code.
All in all, life is good though, so even if I’m a teeny bit jealous, I’m grateful for how good I have it in life. I’m pretty lucky, all things considered!
- specproc 3y agoHeh, sorry if I misread or sounded narky! That category one is clearly there and influential, but I don't think you suggested they were everywhere. I'm impressed by those who find the time and energy to be consistent with a craft, on top of the pressures of work and family. I like a dabble here and there at lots of things, but don't make the time and don't follow through enough. Something to aspire to.
