Me as well, and although I preferred my 'age' when I was working, I'm still thankful I can get up when I feel like doing so (usually 5 Am, because I went to bed early) and I can go for a drive with my camera, and look for unique compositions, to add to the many I already have!

I've just started watching your videos again after a long hiatus. The reason I stopped watching for a while was because I do one type of photography - real estate and haven't had a need to watch any camera/lens reviews. Just upgraded to the Canon R6. I started watching again because a friend of my daughter's asked if I would photograph her wedding which brings me back to KZbin tutorials. I've always enjoyed your videos, Tony & Chelsea, so am reviewing some of your photography tips. (Note: The bride is very clear that I have never shot a wedding and my photographic expertise is for real estate - a stationary subject. I did do my daughter's engagement photos and pregnancy photos for one of her friends - these turned out pretty well.)

We have an Etsy page where we are getting drilled with fees to the point where a lot of orders were not fulfilled. There are always drawbacks when it comes to selling certain items and this industry is no different. One has to realize the limitations of what you can deliver and make enough to stay afloat without burning out. It is hard to be entrepeneurial without having some sort of burnout. One gets confy with a good paying job that you forget how hard it is for some people to make half of what you make. Dont give up though, there are better things coming and always express yourself so that everyone is aware of whats going on, communication is key.

I was born in 1960. My dad gave me a Canon F-1 in 1972. I started a pet portrait business in High School and made a lot of money. I wanted a photography career, but I did not know how to do it. I was also a science and engineering wiz so I worked hard and earned a doctorate, but I always wondered about being in photography. At 45 I became the CEO of one of the largest photography companies in the US with 10K employees. The challenge was to make portrait photography fun and profitable. I did that job for 8 years and loved it, but it made photography a grind. Since then, I shoot mainly wildlife and landscape photography where I can be away from people and enjoy the outdoors. I have changed up my career every 8-10 years. No one should be doing the same thing forever.

I am from Australia, and have had my own music videos that I have personally produced and streaming on KZbin, and don't get anything from them. I am not monetised with them because of some changes that KZbin made years ago. They put ads onto my content, but don't pay me a cent. This is against Australian laws and they are very likely to get into BIG trouble with the Australian regulator very soon, just like Google and Facebook did, when they flaunted Australian media laws.

I have recently seen many KZbinrs talk about quitting/leaving or cutting back on content production and claiming various reasons. After 27 years as a sworn law enforcement official, I retired to become a beach bum. When I began creative writing three years into being a bum, I wrote nearly three hundred blog posts during my first year. My writing fell off when I traveled outside Southwest Florida during the summer. I attempted to video blog my travels only to discover that pre and post-production video blogs took time, and it became a job. In my previous career, I worked steadily for well over a quarter of my life without the option nor consideration to quit or reduce my responsibilities. So, like many KZbinrs, the individual must find their medium to satisfy their creative content of something they love. Tony and Chelsea, thanks for the video and the inspiration to become a photographer.

I agree with much of what you all are saying. Anytime you do something for money, it is a job. Good news is I do KZbin videos for fun and to share nature photography. I worked at a corporate job for 36 years, was totally stressed out and beyond burned out. It was impacting my health and my relationships. I retired. I don't plan to turn YT into another job. One thing about some of the bigger channels stepping back, it does leave a little more oxygen in the room for smaller creators.

On a serious note I have been watching you guys for about 8 years. Your videos were and have always been important to my photography growth. I consider your channel as a staple. You are right though in the past (I am older than both you) it was a privilege to take a great image. Now with phones having “good enough” images you really have to be a great photographer to make money. Good enough with the phone camera is good enough for most. I wish there would be as much development in the DSLR innovations to keep me at a greater distance from phone images which in return would help keep the value of my images up with the cost of shooting DSLR. People are bombard with pictures now so it’s just not as big a deal as in the past. Needs to be some major breakthroughs in the DSLR market to set us set us photographers apart.

I've brought up on other channels the fact that money is never mentioned on the YT bail videos. The other thing I have noticed is the "fame bubble" is the same regardless of what format the fame was acquired in. Hollywood actors, corporate media peronalities, sports stars, social media creators/influencers, they all develop a disconnect with how life operates beyond their peer bubble. What is odd is I haven't noticed the public giving social media peronalities the same amount of addoration as they do to others who's fame came from somewhere outside social platforms. Then again, I don't know for sure because I've never been one to admire fame. What I do know and do admire is neither of you seem to have fallen into the bubble. That is a rare trait that so few "famous" people have.

Also let's not talk about having to find enough students each semester to keep the program going! I didn't really know how much it was killing me, it took a therapist to give me a card saying "let go or be dragged".
