I became a photographer.

This is the shot that proved to me that I'm finally thinking like a photographer. I was stood on the step at high tide (you can see the railing in the foreground) at dusk, trying to get a good shot of the surf breaking for five minutes. My mate, Bruce was four steps behind me. I had promised I wouldn't get the camera wet. But, when Bruce warned me of a huge wave coming in, I didn't move to protect the camera, or hide it under my jacket. No, I started shooting, looking for the shot that would make me. Both me and the camera got drenched with salt water, but I knew what it meant... I cared more about the shot that the camera and lens. And, that, my friends, strikes me as a good way to be.
