[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 184319, member: 14629"] Edit: [B]Unfortunately, it s[/B]eems the word "photographer" is a generic, catch-all term, and in most people's minds applies to just about anybody that can use a camera - regardless of type, complexity, capability, etc. [B]I disagree with this, of course. I also disagree with most official definitions the term "photographer" tends to be used for professionals.[/B] We could also ask: What separates people that apply oil paint to a canvas with art brushes, and those we might call a true [I]artist[/I]? This could be said for any art medium and not just painting. Art is as subjective as the person appraising somebody else's skill. [/QUOTE]
