HT0907 - People with a Camera

Most people with a camera are not photographers, at least not in the sense that you and I think of when we do photography. It's too bad there isn't a word that easily defines those of us who use cameras to make personally expressive artwork. This is precisely why I prefer to call myself an artist or a storyteller rather than a photographer. I wonder what people would say if we started referring to ourselves as "image poets."
