I tell myself I'm a photographer because I take pictures (and LOTS of them) with my cell phone. That's like saying because I own a piano I'm a pianist (which I don't and I'm not). Or that all ducks are birds but not all birds are ducks if you follow the distinction and the difference.
My nearly lifelong friend Nat is a photographer (and he says it feels a lot longer than one lifetime; he's such a kidder) as is Drew. I take happy snaps by the bushel and sometimes one of them is a decent picture.
And for just a moment I'll feel really good about my photo effort. And then I come across something as breathtaking as this and realize I am just kidding myself.
