But I think for a serious answer, the one from Jovo is about as good as you're likely to get.

My advice on marrying rich is serious, and just might keep one in skittles and beer, as it were. The truth is out there, and sometimes it only seems funny.

Well I like my Doctor for who she is, and we aren't married yet, but I suppose that if nothing else, she may let me have a darkroom in the basement of her nice house someday. But she certainly wouldn't let me use her money to buy equipment etc. she's made it clear that she want's someone who can support themselves and be stable-ish. So if I'm not semi-successful as a photographer soon, I'm screwed...

Whenever I encounter people who refer to themselves as "fine art photographers" I do my best to avoid them in the future, because if I subsequently see their work I very rarely consider it either fine or art.

It's easy, you just grow a Van Dyke beard and refer to yourself as an artist

Adding a black turtleneck and beret makes you a better one.

and don't forget the dramatized ennui and the clove cigarettes.

Photograph whatever interests you, and do it well. Let someone else decide for himself what it is beyond that.

That's the ticket..........
