You guys have some really great ideas. And I am sitting here chuckling at the differences in our situations, if we could combine all of ours we'd all be able to go do what we want!

I am not tied down by people or pets, as Hallie is my only child and she can go everywhere with me. But I am restricted by my work, since photography is #3 for me (computer and art being my first 2) and I work 10 plus hours a day I can't leave home that much. And, being self employed,I will never be able to retire. But I love the ideas here of putting a portable studio into a trailer of some kind, I wonder if that sort of thing is going to get more and more popular with time.
