The MySpace sad girl in the bathroom mirror with a flash bloom to the right of her head is not a photographer...those are exhibitionists.

Back when I first got into digital, my girlfriend was very wary of even touching the new camera, so I called upon the assistance of the bathroom mirror one evening. I feel so dirty now...
In response to the OP, I feel that if you take pictures with any kind of enthusiasm and are willing to look beyond your immediate natural surroundings (family, pets, computer keyboard) for subjects... that would make you a photographer. Not necessarily a good one, but one none the less. Like any art, for *others* to consider you "good" at it... practice practice practice. Of course, if your name is Christolio (no surname) you could probably make your fame on hype alone.
