Hobbyist photographer. I got a real camera (Sony Alpha 100) a few months ago and I'm learning to use it.
All my work is done using free software. Although I readily believe that Photoshop, Exposure etc. are wonderful, I choose not use proprietary software if I can avoid it.
My pictures are all "All rights reserved". I'd be happy to give you permission to use them, but I would like to be notified.
