Jeeez guys..... let it die
It's getting so that grease spot that used to be a dead horse is nearly
gone.
Like many, I am a Master and an accredited Journeyman at some other
vocation (making photography my avocation?).
When doing work within my vocation, if I use a tool that isn't rated as
professional does that mean I am doing less than a *Professional* job?
To tie it to this list, if a professional used my NIKON One Shot, are
they less of a professional?
Who cares?
Ansel Adams wasn't a Pro when some great shots were taken ... neither
were many more. And there are Pro's whose work SUCKS.
