Professional Photographer

I am officially a professional photographer. That is, if your definition of a professional photographer is that it is a photographer who has sold a picture. I recently uploaded some of my pictures onto a stock photo sales web site called shutterstock.com, and just this morning have discovered that I have had my first download from that site, resulting in a payment to me of ..... drum roll please.... 20 cents. I know it is miniscule, and doesn't begin to cover the time and energy I took to take the pictures and upload them to the site, but it is fun, and it is just the beginning (I hope).
