The times of traveling are always too short. Pictures help travelers recall those special days discovering new places and new people. After your last vacation in New York, you might have returned home with many memorable photos. You want to share those moments, not store them on your hard drive or in a closet. Maybe it is time you gave some thought to being a NY travel photographer.

Your intimate shots of New York neighborhoods and inspiring photos of the memorial at ground zero are being wasted on your computer or tucked away in a box. It is time to make your own photographic art book. You want the end product to look as if it had been professionally published with the quality of expensive magazines and coffee table books.

Modern technology has so much to offer the artistic photographer. Digital cameras, zoom lenses and publishing software make it possible to create calendars, books and newsletters that years ago required the services of a professional printer and publishing house.

Online publishing companies can help you create magazine quality books and eBooks. You may be doing this project for yourself and friends and family, but the publishing companies will help you market and sell your book on websites like Amazon.com. Once you see the finished product, you will not want to miss this business opportunity.

With technology and online publishing many people can indulge their creative side. Nothing wrong with taking what you love to do and turning it into a business. If this becomes a business, you could deduct many travel expenses from your taxable income. Do not quit your regular job right away. You may still need that income.

What a wonderful way to remember and share the experiences of your travels. Boxes just collect dust. You may have found yourself a new career.
