Okay so I am photographer and for 20 years now. I live to be visually stimulated! I like to have friends that mentally stimulate me when I've had enough of the visual. Does that mean that all my smart friends are ugly? Well..............no. I love them for their minds. I don't share many of my photos because I am lazy. i get off on the Decisive Moment and live to catch it but after that i get lazy. I LOVE photography and yes it is an art! I miss the darkroom! I actually liked the smell of the chemicals. I love digital as well and try to learn something new daily. I am a late bloomer and just bought my first film medium format.
