[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 3880, member: 1573"] There's a lot of wisdom in this post. What did Shakespeare say? . . . "a rose by any other name is still a rose." And, as a side note, if you don't think copyright and intellectual property should matter, try copying a photo off the NTGEO site and posting it (without appropriate credit) on your own site. (Just for clarification, I have NOT tried this.) But then this goes to a whole other topic. I like Pete's idea of defining "photographer" --but going even a step further. Why do you call yourself a photographer? what makes you want to pick up your camera and shoot? what sets you apart from the masses, the "snapshooters", because I think those are the real categories. Photographers or snapshooters. Pro or amateur is really a moot point. Just my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
