Think about it. Taking a drive to the nearest hardware store to buy a fully equipped tool belt is just as easy as stopping by an electronic store to pick up a camera and yet under no circumstances would I publicize myself as a newly indoctrinated carpenter who could build you a marvelous kitchen set.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I finally called myself a photographer after a few things happened. My photos were embedded on popular blogs, I reached 10K published photos on Flickr and I reached 2 million photos views on Flickr. Before then, I was not a photographer. In truth, I&#8217;m still amateur and know I have a lot to learn but my camera is in my bag right now. it&#8217;s heavy and adds a lot of weight but I keep my camera with me constantly. Most &#8220;photographers&#8221; don&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p>I love the new &#8220;iPhoneographer&#8221; set who have finally admitted that it&#8217;s just filters that help them take a good picture.
