[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 3861, member: 1556"] WOW! It seems that everyone has an idea as to what denotes a "Professional" photographer. It also seems that every idea is diametrically opposed to every other idea, or at the least, carefully nuanced. Instead, why not define "photographer". That seems to be the needed definition here, not the "professional" part. Simplistically, a photographer is..... Anyone that takes photographs? Nonsense. That would include every 2 year old that snaps a picture. I have no answer. But, then again, I am dumb as a brick. Everything I know about photography is self taught. I've had to learn just about everything in an informational vacuum. This is, by no means, an excuse for my poor techniques. Instead, take this as a reason, and judge appropriately. But until you define what a "photographer" is, you will NEVER figure out what a "professional photographer" is. Pete [/QUOTE]
