How did his gear get on in Antarctica? Did anything pack up in the cold?
Of all the trips he has been on, which has been the most rewarding so far?
What did it feel like when NG first said they wanted to publish your images?

Do you find you need to keep looking for new spots to shoot to keep you motivated or are you happy with finding new approches to the same scenes.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to make photography into a business.

Stop knocking yourself
Maybe ask Adam what process he went through to becoming a pro, when and at what point did he consider he was good enough?

Maybe this is part of the process of us sorting our crap out and doing something then. I'm not technically there yet, quite a way off I think, but when I think I'm ready and have some thing's in a portfolio, I'll be going for itI will if you will

You could start by updating your website!! Sheesh.Just read his about page http://www.adam-burton.co.uk/about/ seems Im not that different, we even have same camera
Now why is he making it and Im not ....... I guess im just not ready.
Oh dont remind me
I have no inclination to be a pro at the moment. If my current line of work dried up, I might be forced to look into it. To be honest, if I was hiring a pro for wedding/family portrait, commercial stuff, I would expect some sort of formal training/qualification which would give me some assurance that they new the basics. I would also personally not hire a newbie (would prefer to practice on someone else
If you are going down the wedding/portrait route, you really should have backup bodies and lenses.

Question for Adam Burton
After the planing and getting to the location, how many images would you take there? Just keep shooting till the light it not right or once you are happy with the shot, that's it?
How many months of the year are you travelling?
What was the first paid job you did as a Photographer?
