If a photographer approaches me and says that he's is an amateur photographer and he'd like to shoot my daughters wedding for a certain amount of money and the next day another photographer comes by and says he's a professional photographer and he wants to shoot the wedding... at a slightly higher price who do you think will get the job. re is a certaqi stigma attached to the word amateur' One fool on this thread chastised me for fighting in my Country's wars An "amateur's" way of thinking.
I think it's time we retired this thread and subject in general. No one won nor did anyone lose.... but it got the juices flowing.
