While most people who follow me know that I make my living as a freelance photographer, taking photos for Philadelphia Weekly, booking weddings, and making art for the inside of books, fewer people know that I also publish fiction. I’ve written science fiction, fantasy and games.
But I’ve also done much weirder things for money. I’ve decided to make a list of all the things I’ve done that people have handed over cash for me to do.
