Naturography: Professional Nature Photography: The Price of Admission:

Lots of people want to be professional photographers. Making a living expressing your creative vision can be compelling. Among those who want to be pros, probably more want to specialize in nature photography than any other specialty. Many people see nature photography as an ideal way to mix business and pleasure. For some (I’m taking my shot at being one of them), it’s a career that allows for a great deal of travel, exploration and adventure, witnessing of spectacle and splendor, and attuning oneself with the rhythms of nature.

However, like most other dream careers, the good stuff comes with some hitches, too.

I’ve recently gotten to know Mike through a bit through Flickr, and his photography is amazing. He’s recently started a blog, and there’s some very useful material starting to flow, especially for up and coming photographers — like this piece.
