Man I love taking pictures!  I've been a photgrahper for a few years now.
I really love photographs as artwork. It is science + art, for sure. Is there a subject you prefer?
I try to go for urban shots, because I'm not stealthy or patient enough to try for nature.  I tr to capture the real human emotion of subjects.
Already impressed ;-) Do you use it in business at all? Or art, film, video production? 
Ah well you do have to eat, right?  I mostly do photos for magazines, both print and web, but I do try to keep a few prize shots for my personal portfolio.  Hopefully I can get a gallery display one day.
I'm rooting for you! Do you do your own developing? I know that's a huge endeavor, with the materials necessary for processing and production.
