Im An Illustrator ( I.E. Drawing & painting ) by trade/education. I've dabbled in photography since early High School. Tactile art can be tedius and painfull at times. By the time I have an Idea really nailed down, im usually already too tired of it to really execute. Photography can sometimes be the cure. It's realetive instant gratification, I used to be a big film snob but digital helps me shoot more often than I would otherwise. Wow! JPG doesn't give a lot of space for this.
