Few photographers expect to become professionals and join the ranks of those who can make a living from their work. Most photographers simply want to progress from being the casual picture taker to being taken a bit more seriously – at least by themselves. Award winning photographer Robert Moore made that journey on streets around the world. Join us as he shares stories from his past in publishing and experiences from his current travel and street photography.
