Snapshooter here. I don't care about original vision, highly creative, evocative, etc. The charm of photography for me is very simple: capturing moments and memories. Once in a while (about once a roll), I get a shot I like. That's enough to keep me going.

Ok, I'll bite. I wish I were an Artist. I'm clearly not good enough, but I do already dress funny:

And, I'm a terrible self promoter, so other than PUG, no one sees my work.
I'd like to think I'm an "Amateur", and maybe not a bad one at that, but I fear that sometimes I really am just a Snapshooter. Can't be a Whore, because I haven't sold my soul for my "art" (ha!), and I don't do drugs (anymore - I hope beer doesn't count).
Clearly not a Pro, for obvious reasons. Not a Rich Amateur, but I kind of wish. OTOH, I know I wouldn't really be able to take significantly better photos with better equipment. Speaking of rich/poor, anyone want to buy a Leica CL? Lemme know.
Clearly not an Equipment Measurebator, but I think I know a few on this list <vbg>! How could I be, when my newest camera body is my MX?
That's a fun little list, though Caveman. Thanks! So know, the big question to the List:
WHAT ARE YOU? Be honest, and give reasons.
cheers, frank
