Trying To Be a Photographer Part1

I tried my luck every where and bought 700$ worth camera thinking that I am going to become photographer. Do you think I can ? I really doubt. Just buying SLR camera does not guarantee that you will become a photographer. But I always has a dream to buy a nice SLR camera. This came I bought because I wanted to capture precious moment of my new born baby. My baby was expected on 8th of September 2007.
