First off, I'm not particularly interested in turning my hobby into a job. I haven't sold any photos since I was freelancing more than forty odd years ago. I'm not in a photography club, and am not into photo competitions. I entered one big Contest many years ago, placed second, won a bit of cash. That I could win, was enough, haven't done it since.
What I did start to do last year was take the absolutely best shots I am capable of and give them away.
Last year, to a local theatre group, and a Rodeo organizer. This year again to the theatre group, the VFD, the Shidoni Foundry and 3 Faces of Jazz in Santa Fe. Costs me very little to get contact info, burn a DVD and mail the shots off. Though I'm not planning on a huge number of events, I do intend to keep doing it now and then. Seems like a way to pass around a little enjoyment. What do you think of the idea?

I think it's a great idea, and, I'm with you. The moment you turn an enjoyable hobby into a job, it is no longer fun or relaxing. I too intend to keep this as a hobby.
