Just a hobby picturetaker, okay, photograhper.  I picked up the itch to do photography after taking an interest in junior high school; we had a darkroom and learned all the tricks with burning and dodging.  I took another course through university, but now it all means nothing thanks to digital photograhpy.  I take my iPad everywhere now and leave all my other cameras at home, someday I may invest in a digital SLR, but for now I'm content with my iPad.
