Have not done this in a while. Here are the rules: 1) No whining, if you don't like what you hear too f'in bad. What I have to say is meaningless unless you believe it has meaning. 2) Re-read rule 1. So Pro, amateur or guy with paperweight? the difference between pro and amateur is the quality of the images. The difference between pro/amateur and GWPW is intent. So if you have pages of "naked babes with swords/guns/hot rods" or pages of prurient images with zero effort at taking a quality photograph, I will have no problem using the GWPW title. If you say you have "25 years experience as a professional photographer..." and your portfolio has a total or 4 photos of the same "model" shot with terrible styling, no lighting and a complete lack of post production skill, guess what, you are a GWPW. If, on the other had, you are one of the tiny, tiny percentage of MM "photographers" with both talent and technical expertise, I will be ecstatic to sing your praises as a professional. If you say you are inexperienced/young/in school/etc but show signs of talent and desire, I will be happy to offer supportive comments and look forward to seeing your progression from amateur to professional. Have at it. This will end, inevitably, when someone gets their knickers in a twist and gets nasty to me. If you can't take it, don't ask. PERIOD Oct 18 13 10:11 pm Link First!
