It's not hard, it's just not fulfilling and can be very tiring when my younger lad decides he doesn't want to sleep for two days in a row and I also can't sleep. When I start walkin into furniture I start to wish I had a different life, but that make sure me feel guilty, so it's just frustrating. But hard - no, people work a lot harder than I do, at least I get to be at home with my family most of the time.
I can't easily get funding for what I want to do as there are so many restrictions, it won't be setup as a charity or anything complicated as I can't be bothered with the administration - done that for too long - and funding is hard enough to get if you are a registered charity with a team of people behind you. I'll just plug away at it and do it myself, I've been picking up equipment cheaply, @PaulButler has been giving me lots of support and tips as he says local to me and @Yardbent very generously sent me a really lovely tripod he was going to sell. I'm not good enough to kick it off yet anyway, I still have lots to learn about lighting!
Thanks for your kind wishes

I'm early retired so spend my time as I/Mrs Nod please. Golf a few times per week and plenty of other outings when the weather's suitable.
Maybe you could set up a Go Fund Me page??
I am a Facade engineering consultant, as part of a much larger multi-disciplinary civil engineering firm. We assist architects in developing high end building envelopes to something that can actually be built rather than just looking pretty on paper.
Yeah most of the curtain wall stuff is aluminium, but I work with pretty much all materials as curtain walling is just a small part of what we have to get involved with, especially with some of the more exotic architects.Aluminium ?
I work for the uk office of a Greek metals company.
Away from that, I was involved in several car forums quite heavily until last year when I took a step back. Now, I seem to drive up and down the country taking my eldest here and there and my youngest is getting into bmx racing so that will be the next time sapper.
When I'm not taking photos, I'm a senior Project Manager at a large construction consultancy, with a specialism in Maritime work.
...it all leads me to wonder- for those who don't make a living from photography, what do/did you do when you weren't taking photographs?
Self-employed standards and compliance consultant - a mixture of general health and safety, environmental permitting, ISO and trade sector management systems, CE marking compliance, and pretty anything that involves finding the path of least resistance through frequently complex rules and regulations.
ISO 9001 had improved a lot with the latest revision, but it's reputation still suffers from memories of the old guard consultants who used to inflict it like a time and motion study. Done the right way, it should now give efficiency improvements and boost the bottom line.ICan't say I enjoyed ISO 9001 as it was a daily battle and I found auditing pretty much mind numbingly soul destroying. H&S is a farce and IMO far too much about avoiding being sued than genuine H&S.
and had an eventful love life
ISO 9001 itself wasn't the problem, auduting day after day was... mind numbing... product approval was what I liked.ISO 9001 had improved a lot with the latest revision, but it's reputation still suffers from memories of the old guard consultants who used to inflict it like a time and motion study.

For H&S I avoid the corporate systems and stick to SMEs, so it's mostly proper H&S - although sometimes more reactive than I'd like.
