I love to do photography that departs from the norm; the background image was created by waving my camera around in a seemingly random fashion "like a lunatic on acid". However I can and do more traditional stuff and even record photography if required.
I use Adobe Lightroom to contain the workflow to store, organise, perform raw image tweaking. In this I consider myself an expert and have helped many people by spec'ing their PC and building it to centre around a digital workflow by installing and configuring Lightroom and Photoshop (the default settings are poor). The really important bit is to explain the concept of the Lightroom workflow and how radically different it is from any other method they may have used. Many photographers have bought the product but fail to understand its concept. To get the full benefit it has to be understood and used as the hub of their workflow.
I have been in the IT industry for over 30 years, starting with mainframes that took up an entire warehouse but had less processing and storage than the smart phone that you unloaded to Oxfam several years ago then moving on to DEC products (PDP and VAX, VMS, ALL-IN-1), MS Windows NT and Exchange then sort of backwards with IBM AS400s and Lotus Notes/Domino.
