he's trying to be funny or something. He sounds like a hobbyist.

"Mike Johnston has published more than 100 articles about photography in
magazines in the U.S. and England. He currently writes for BLACK & WHITE
PHOTOGRAPHY and CAMERA ARTS magazines, and his column "The Sunday Morning
Photographer" appears on the web on The Luminous Landscape, Steve's
Digicams, and Photo.Net, and is translated into Polish, Hungarian,
Portuguese, and Greek. In the past he was East Coast Editor of CAMERA &
DARKROOM and Editor-in-Chief of PHOTO TECHNIQUES."

Yeah, quite the hobbyist.....
