The American annual of photography . BUSINESS AND PLEASURE By WM. H. BROADWELL LTHOUGH I make a living as a commercialphotographer, I do not follow it for that reasonalone. It is a hobby with me as well as a busi-ness. There is a saying ^business before pleas-ure which, if followed, leads to success; butbusiness and pleasure if followed as I interpret it will leadyou to success just the same only by a pleasanter route. Makeyour business a hobby, then you will enjoy doing it and it willnot seem like work. I cover a great many miles during the year because many ofmy customers are located in other cities, and it is necessary togo to their plants in order to photograph their goods, particu-larly heavy machinery. Sometimes I am obliged to go to a 208. oq bo -« OQ 209 town I have never been to before. In such cases I keep oneof my hobbies in mind, i. e., historical places. Always carry-ing a few extra plates for emergencies, it becomes a simplematter to photograph any old-fashioned house I pass on theroad if it looks as though it had a history. New Jersey is full of buildings of the Revolutionary period,particularly the older and smaller towns. In traveling aroundwith an automobile I often come across such places when Ileast expect to. If the light is right then I take it, if not, Ijudge when it will be and try to get it on my way home.
