What do you use your camera for? work? hobby? etc..

I mostly shoot for my own enjoyment but lately, I've picked up a couple of projects for friends here and there. One particular project actually has potential to grow into a bigger one. It would be nice if it at least paid for my camera gear addiction.

What do you want to hear exactly? Your subject tells a different story ;)
How to ask friends to pay a little amount of money for a shooting? Did they request you to do a shooting?
My experience is as follows: people really like nice images of their puppies, kids, ... or a portrait. They love the perfect lightning, they love the perfect sharpness, they like the story the picture tells (if it is a good picture, of course). But, as soon as they have to pay 5 $ for a print of that image, they're gone (worst case). Ask them before.
If you're a professional the story is different. Of course. That's your business and they have to pay for your time, experience and equipment.
