Why you want to be a photographer (both of amateur and professional)??

This topics is the open topics for all of us (Photography lover),
Let�s start with me, The reason why I want to be the photographer come from 2 things that are 1) I like to do the Photoshop program and 2) I had the experience; I went to the place that really beautiful but I didn�t bring a camera with me so I felt Oh no! Oh shit! Why do I so stupid?? .� After that I went to the shop buy 1 camera (compact) and keep it with me always. Also I would like to take my impression shot with me :) .

Now I buy the DSLR and try to use my new DSLR for getting more satisfaction pictures. If you don�t mind, let�s learning together and also please share your ideas.
