I was out on a photo-shoot recently with a client I've known for many years and, out of the blue, he asked me if I had ever thought about retiring. Now I don't think for a minute there was any ulterior motive but I had to say that it's not something that's presently on my agenda.
Indeed, my wife often says that if we won the lottery, SHE would retire, adding that she knows I couldn't suddenly stop working. And why would I want to??
There are lots and lots of people who just don't like their jobs and in today's high pressure work environment I think that's simply a sad fact of life but, for me, I just enjoy what I'm doing.
In photographic terms, I get to go places I would never normally have access to and to photograph people I would never usually get close to.
For our non-photographic work, I'm looking to launch two new web sites in a bid to attract more business so no retirement for me!!
I just hope and pray that I continue to be lucky and enjoy what I'm doing and when the time comes to set aside my working tools, it will all be very obvious.
But in the meantime ........ thanks but no thanks!!
