[QUOTE="Anco, post: 408206, member: 30397"] That's a very loaded question and not easy to answer. We could argue semantics for as long as you want but at the end of the day if you take photos, you are by definition a photographer. It doesn't really matter if you do it on the latest gear or a 30 year old relic or even a phone. The issue I believe you're getting at Scott is how do people personally define when someone earns the right to be called a photographer. For me, I can't really pinpoint it. I see some amazing work on this forum and think to myself, when I can produce that, I'll be a photographer. But the better I get, the more that line blurs and moves. I'm just a guy that takes photos and hopefully some people will like some of them, that's all that matters. [/QUOTE]
