In the dictionary one of the definitions for "Hobby" is:
An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure rather than financial reward.
An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure rather than financial reward.
I don't feel like my photography is a hobby. In fact when someone asks me, "Is photography your hobby?" I find it difficult to give a civil answer. In my head the word "hobby" just doesn't reflect my passion or commitment. I may never make a significant financial reward, I may never be considered a great photographer by curators and museum directors. That doesn't matter. My photography isn't a hobby.

What brought this on was something I was reading that talked about photography as a hobby and suddenly I was remembering all the times that someone had asked me this question.
