I think I lean toward being a hobbyist.

I don't believe photography is an art but a craft
I would say I am 'part artist'. I have an artistic side, but my training and profession is scientific. What interests me in photography is that it satisfies both areas. It melds art and science into one.
"Self advertisement is no recommendation" it isn't for the individual to name him/her self an "Artist" but the art World in general..Depends on how you define photography.
The technical bits are, IMO, just craft; the application of the technical bits though, are not.
If you include composition, choice of palette, choice of exposure, choice of grain, timing, etcetera..., as part of photography; it can easily be considered an art.

I take pictures...And I try to sell some of them to pay for the indulgence. How do you label that?
photography is to me more than a hobby, but not a career - it's an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
