No just an amateur. Photography is like a lot of things these days with all the advancement in technology. It is probably 75-80% equipment and only 20-25% user.

Not that I could make a living at it anyway, but even if I thought I could I remember what my old Bow Shop owner once told me after he "burned out" on Archery after operating a shop full time.

His comment....."The best way to ruin a good hobby is to turn it into a business."
