Here's an article on what motivates us and makes us do great work. In this article, money doesn't motivate creative types. This article is not photo related per se, but it's related to what drives us.

I don't know why. I just find it within myself, at times...or not, at times.

What motivates me to make crummy work is money, though. Plain and simple. Sometimes laziness plays a role as well.

Sometimes someone will actually want (and pay money for) great work. This is the best of both worlds. There is nothing like a good "client" to make us feel good about what we are doing.
