That would be too much credit. I'm a serious amateur. I know too well what it takes to be a real professional photographer, because I've worked with the best for many years. And learned a lot from them. I do have a professional background in the audiovisual business, but you'll never hear me say too easily I'm a full time professional photographer. It may surprise you, but I still don't have a digital SLR of my own, although I've been able to try out quite a few in the past years. I want to stick with Nikon, because all my other equipment is Nikon, but it's only recently that Nikon released a camera for people like me: the D200. I never really liked their low end DSLR's (D50 and D70) and their high end stuff is out of my league. The D200 however now seems to fill the gap and give me what I want and with a bit of luck I may be able to afford one this year. But not after I give it a thorough test run... ;-) Thanks for the compliment, Frank, but I don’t consider myself a pro photographer. That would be too much credit. I’m a serious amateur.
