I am poetic today and started thinking about what I really, really, REALLY would like to do with my life.
Suddenly I realized that everything I would like to do involves having a large amount of money.

If you don't believe it, take a look at my checklist of stuff I would like to do:

Photograph a major production:
You need good models, a fantastic wardrobe, makeup artists, hair artists, lights, a palace filled with gorgeous furniture... and so on.

Develop a platform for photographers
Similar to dA, 500px and everything else out there but led to a different direction, my vision, my ideas (yes, me me me). A place that great artists would call home.
That requires developers, designers, hosting services... and so on.

Own a studio and a gallery
Do I need to say more? A studio costs money, managing a gallery costs money... and so on.

So yeah... money... worth big time having it to fulfill your dreams.
