I've sometimes considered whether I could turn this photography jones into an everyday gig. One of the biggest obstacles appears to be, surprise, money. Replacing my current salary seems insurmountable in the short term and I'd have to move to North Dakota or some south of the border town to make my savings stretch.

Seems this is not an uncommon quandary, even if you're a Wall Street type who's been pulling down seven-figure salaries for a few years. This weekend the Wall Street Journal profiled Bruce Silverstein, an investor who quit his job several years ago to start a photography gallery in Chelsea.

Interesting reading...enjoy
