I am an avid photographer, not nearly as good as I would like to be. I have worked professionally for a couple of karting magazines, Bristol Dragway, and for my own license plate business. I am lucky in that I do sell a lot of my images on plates. I have reached a point in my business where not every shot or location is for a vanity plates, so it is reverting a "hobby" again although the shots I like I put up for sale in my store. My purpose in joining Flickr was to be among others that felt the same passion and some of the groups have given me occasion to actually meet some of my fellow Flickr friends.
