I am loving my new 50mm f/1.4 lens. It makes everyone look good. Having it, though, makes me miss film cameras. I wish I had the time and money to make film photographs again.

I’ve been thinking an awful lot about my photo habits. Am I an amateur photographer? I always feel silly when I say that. Plus it implies that I haven’t been trained, though in reality I have several years of classes under my belt. Have I ever sold a photograph? No. Have I had some published? Yes. Hobbyist? Is that the word? Also feels cheesy to me.

Does anyone have any better ideas?
