		<description>Anyways, in my explorations I have also come to figure out the reason I do what I do.  I can’t put it into words very well, but I know that when I am working with brides and grooms and sharing the first day of the rest of your lives together, it’s all about you.</description>

		<description>Hi! I dunno what kind of technical career you had before photography but I&#039;m in a kind of similar situation to yours.. just the opposite :)
I&#039;m a software developer, working for a big corporation, and passion for photography is waking up in me. It&#039;s been the recent months that I started learning, each time I take my camera, I learn something new and it&#039;s so fascinating. It&#039;s such a  joy to see my pictures from 6 months ago and now.. and there&#039;s a HUGE difference! This whole photography thing adds an entirely new dimension to my life, and it has actually changed how I look at things.
Ok, I don&#039;t photograph people, I don&#039;t have the courage yet. I only shoot friends occassionally and they are always greateful for the shots, and once they see results of one session, they always want more :)
Anyway.. what I want to say.. this whole photography thing is something I really enjoy doing. I enjoyed software development years ago, at a university level. Now, being a tiny piece in this corporate machine.. working every day in the same office, and the only contact with people is your manager asking you why you didn&#039;t meet your deadline.. and meetings, that are just corporate political wars with smiles on everybody&#039;s faces. Now this makes me seriously think about quitting my job and changing my career path to something I love. If it wasn&#039;t a financial risk, I&#039;d do it right now. Working in a big corporation does give you financial safety. But it is in conflict with the insider in me, the independent dreamer with a passion. Working late hours in a profit-focused company doesn&#039;t leave a lot of space in your life for self development &amp; passions. When I get back home, I&#039;m too tired of thinking, so the only thing I think of is preparing dinner, checking facebook and going to sleep :)
Well.. I just thought I&#039;d share, so you know you&#039;re not the only one in this world having this problem and this kind of thoughts :) Have a nice weekend!</description>
