I was reading another blog the other day (Rowdy Kittens - also, check it out in my Link Love sidebar) and this lady is just super sweet. I love people who break stereotypes and one of the rules she breaks is this idea the world has about photographers.
She takes almost all of her pictures with an iPhone and still calls herself a photographer (and she's a good one, too!).
I think photographers are often classified as people who take fancy photos with their fancy cameras in their fancy studios. While there is nothing wrong with that because I have that (and by that I mean the fancy camera, not a fancy studio, and I can only try to take fancy photos), I think that there are many people in this world who take great photos but wouldn't consider themselves a photographer. I would say I am the same way, and I even have a slight "in" to the photography world as I am already a journalism major and will sometimes be taking photos.
This is all relative, because the point I am getting at is that I just took a Photojournalism class and I want to take the time to share the pictures I took for my projects, and some that I took this past month just for fun as well!
And, I am going to calling myself a Photographer.
