2000 Sales _ Ok, so can I upgrade?

posted on 3rd of august, 2011

It is with great pleasure that I have today marked off another of the BIG milestones that I have been hanging for, for some time now …

2000 sales!

Rather fitting that is an image from within the series of images that were of my 1st kindling to my journey into my pursuit into photography.

This marker now has brought with it a new "dilemma".
So do I now still classify myself as a keen hobbyist? Or should I realistically start placing myself into a higher grade?

It would be easy to say, "Yes", but I am ever the realist. And I guess until that "final" goal is achieved, I may indeed want to hang onto the security blanket title of "ultra keen hobbyist".
