[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 16427, member: 16"] Cynram (although I don't believe that could possibly be your real name ;) ). I can agree with you 100% on the standards aspect, although what you said later on in your post poses another conundrum. "Perhaps if an organization of professionals established quality standards...". My question would be............who would determine who these professionals would be? See what I mean here? Even if an organization sprang up and called themselves the International Organization of Professional Photographers, who decided that? One guy? A group of photographers? What made them professionals in the first place? And how would they decide who and how to certify? What would the criteria be? Would anyone care? I don't think it's going to be an easy task to solve this problem of who's a pro and who's not. Should be interesting to see how this all plays out. [/QUOTE]
