what if...
you wake up one day and decide that you suck at photography and want to try another hobby/creative effort...
what else would you choose?

It would play out a little different for me I suppose....
If I woke up and I sucked at photography, that would certainly mean I was no longer able to make a full time living off of it.
So the first thing I would do is sell everything and take that money and get a science degree with an emphasis on applying it to renewable energy technology, which ironically, is currently a hobby. I could not do photography as just a hobby because I would no longer have the time to dedicate to it that I have now and the creative freedom that provides me, it would be too hard to lose that and just have to "settle".
So if my hobby of solar became my job and I left photography behind, I think I would engage in playing more guitar...as my hobby.

but photography is just a hobby right? whether or not you suck at it is irrelevant.

Thats happened many times.
Most of the time I'm out shooting the next weekend anyway.
I suppose I may spend more time playing around with camera repair but I don't know if I'll have the eye sight long term to stick with it.

Been there, done that. But because it is mostly just a hobby, I accept those mornings and keep on shooting.
Seriously: I would improve my Hammond organ skills and look for more jam sessions.

I could either throw myself into more woodworking (small items not big huge projects) or buy that old school motorcycle, tear it down and build it back up...

As someone said,
it is always rewarding
to do something really
hard. I would probably
try marathon running

It is just a hobby as others have said. I too know I am not good at this hobby, for all the crappy pictures I have taken over the years, its those few that I really like that keeps me going. At the end of the day it does not matter how good u are in any hobby, the important things about a hobby is that u enjoy it.
