I suppose the issue is that photography isn’t really what my job/career is all about (and I have a lot of respect for pro photographers), but it’s just something I am pretty good at. So there’s always a bit of resentment I have when I take photos for work. I think if I treat these photo tasks with a different (and less creative) frame of mind I can come to some good balance – I’ll take photos for my work, but I’ll make photos for my hobby. :)

Thanks for your comment, Patrick!

For me, it is definitely a bad thing when a passion turns into a commitment. It took a while for me to learn this; your passion does not have to be your livelihood.

I always hated being known as “the photo guy” in groups (friends, family, school, work, etc.) because of what you describe in this post.
