[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 3812, member: 1061"] Very good points, [B]jdeg[/B]. I agree completely. But even more than that, I don't think that having a DBA or studio automatically makes one a professional either. In my opinion, there are a lot of pros who have a sense of entitlement, like [URL="http://rising.blackstar.com/photographers-excuses.html"]this guy[/URL]. His article echos the sentiments of many pros who think amateurs are hurting their business. They believe they are owed a living and that everyone with a DSLR should charge money for the work they do or they're stealing bread from someone's table or tainting the industry as a whole. They subscribe to overreaching intellectual property rights, such as owning a particular scene, or even Photoshop actions. It's ridiculous. Honestly, I don't see anything in that value-added listing that an amateur couldn't provide also. [/QUOTE]
