Not sure if anyone has done a thread like this before, but here goes.

If you weren't a photographer, what ten things wouldn't you have done?

Start off like this:

If I wasn't a photographer I wouldn't have...

Met like minded people and made a couple of good friends.
Seen the world in a way that can only be appreciated via a viewfinder.
Two really nice large canvas photos on the wall that my good lady really likes.
Be as fascinated as I am about people from different cultures.
Got up at silly o'clock in the morning to see wonderful sunrises.
Enjoyed taking cruise holidays half as much as I do.
Walked the dog for as long as do when we go and explore.
Discovered that North London has a lot of country parks & woodlands.
Put as much effort in as I do with bird feeders.
Joined the best forum on t'net.
 
Spent A lot on camera equipment in the past 17 months
Became involved in the running of a University Society
Gone to the local Zoo at Easter
Taken as much interest in my friend's laser he has (I drew a cyclist onto my bike xD)
Randomly recorded a housemate today to show him the video recording on my D90
Stopped upgrading my computer!
 
been alot better off than i am
 
...still at university on a nice safe degree course that would land me a clear graduate job with clear career progression, workplace subsidised cafeteria, company car and corporate team building days...

OTOH, because I have had a camera in my hand, I have had some of the most amazing experiences, I have been on stage in front of thousands of people, worked in cool places, met and worked with so many leading artists and performers, worked with people from disadvantaged children to the prime minister, and done a whole host of amazing and surreal things that -normal people- just don't get to do, and finally there are a whole host of people that I have met and had a great time with purely because I had a camera in my hand...long may it continue to be both my hobby and my job.

Spent 30 grand on equipment this year.
Had lighter fluid sprayed all over me at protests.
Had as many threats of violence against me.
Been on the field at the MCG.
Hung out with Miss Universe in her dressing room.
Been on stage with Olivia Newton-John.
Spent time with other celeb types, who are actually nicer than you expect them to be.
Had a job I love doing.
Wasted half my life on internet forums.
