Often when people think about GIS and mapping, they think about it in a very scientific and professional concept. While science is an important to understanding our world, I think it’s kind of nice that I am able to look at things in an non-scientific and non-professional way, having learned my skills entirely by doing and working with the technology rather then through formal education. It allows me to see more of the art of what I am looking at, rather then being overly concern with the methods.
