Nothing wrong with that. Nice if you can get the work !  - but I think the dividing line can be a thin one. Personally I think photographing beautiful women/girls is a priviledge not to be abused. Eroticism should be about beauty, but pornography is about ugliness.

Ahh... okay, I get it now. Well, nature and urban photos are "easy" motives, since they are mostly static objects in front of the camera. I like doing them, if I pass by a nice spot by coincidence, but there's not much challenge to it.
Making photos of sport, manifestations, riots etc for a newspaper would be so much more challenging. But it could be interesting too...
Personally, I make a
big distinction between erotic and pornography. The last involves toys or "acting". I'm
not at all into doing that. But making a serie of photos of nice girls/women to a magazine like FHM (which doesn't exist anymore in DK, but has a counterpart here though -
M!) would be cool. And a bragging thing among friends...

This should ultimately lead to a point, where some good money can be earned and buy exactly the kind of equipment, which is top of the line. I have heard Hasselblad should be superb...
