I have now left my job to pursue my career.....

Well i been busy lately taking pictures and never leaving home without the camera I am hoping to take some courses next year and have already got a few jobs coming in . Its a big jump for me, but you got to try for your dream at some point .

Here are some of my favourite shots i want to share with you Hope you like

You have talent, Good luck to you.
You are doing the right thing

how's riding the gixer?

Good luck.

you have an obvious talent, but it is a very difficult career path ahead of you.

I have a family friend, who gave up his BT career to train as a photographer, did his degree and couldn't make a decent living with commercial photography. Went back and did a masters and now teaches for an American university instead.

See this artical about Andrew to put you off Gloucester

Some very nice shots there.

Kudos for taking the plunge. I can speak from experience that it's a very scary thing, and hard to actually 'just do' unless you are pushed or supported in some way.
If my mobility problems hadn't forced me into thinking of alternative I know I wouldn't have had the nerve, likewise friend of mine who runs her own costume company had tremendous support from friends and family to make the shift.

Tim's right, it's very, very hard to make big bucks out of anything artistic - just too many variables and luck/timing can play a huge part...

... that said, for 'just making a living', well, to do something you enjoy and get paid for it is one of the greatest things at the end of the day.
So much of your life is spent working, it's nice to get something more out of it than just bill payments.

Best of luck to you.

excellent stuff, and its really good you are taking initiative for your life and doing something you want to do!

Any chance you can get a photo of me riding, and make me look like im not a wobbly wobbler?

Also, any chance you can get to be a photographer at MotoGP at donners next season, and get us all press passes aswell...we'll be your helpers

Lol, thanks for your lovely comments guys!! We all want to be the best we can be and thats what i intend to do If i end up making mega money from it then great, but it's the enjoyment i get from it, and i love seeing peoples reactions when i give them a picture of themselves/kids/pets, it amkes it all worth while .
