Question by Tim:
How can i start to persue photography as a career?
O.K, so I'm only 15, but I like photography and would like to peruse it as a career someday. I have a decent digital camera, It's a 5mp camera with a 4x optical zoom and a pretty decent lens. It's just a point a shoot, but I didn't have 0 to spend on an slr. I've read a book that taught me about aperture and iso and stuff. Anyway, can photography be a potential career? What could I do, if it made decent money I would like shooting weddings and events and stuff (I like candid photography best) but am willing to explore other options. Know, since I'm only 15 I know I wont be making any money for awhile but what can I do now to prepare for later? I mean like practising my photography. Oh yeah, I am decent at editing my photos and have Paint Shop Pro. So, yeah, what can I do know and what should I do later?
P.S
You don't have to tell me that your not going to be able to do photography full time starting out, I know that photography would have to be a side job.

Photography can definitely be a career, but be sure you have another job to fall back on. A friend of mine had done photography with a wedding planning company until they replaced her for someone who would work cheaper. (Not saying this would happen, but in those cases you'd be out of a job for at least a few weeks.)
To practice, maybe take a few classes if your high school offers some, or if there is a junior college nearby that will take you for summer schooling. Or, look up some of the great shots online and study angles, perception, and lighting. Learn what makes a picture stand out.
If you are also dedicated to wanting to do photography, try taking some Photoshop classes. Paint Shop Pro is a great program, but Photoshop has more options for photo editing.
