In a way, I am a professional photographer but my first job is Landscape Design.
But as a Landsape Designer, I also have to photograph my jobs start through finish.
And they have to be professional quality because my pix are used on our website,
for the customers records and as gifts to the customers when the job is done.
I took Photography and a second major in college.
Plus my stepfather was a photographer and had a darkroom in our basement.

I used to come home from college on the weekends and spend lots of time with him.
getting my photography homework done and driving around with him watching him work.
These pix were taken with a cheap $69 Olympus pocket sized camera I bought as a managers special
at Radioshack one day on the job because my big Nikon D200 died. :'(
