>WHAT ARE YOU?  Be honest, and give reasons.

Level 5: Amateur and proud of it.

Why? I earn less than 50% of my income from photography (in fact, less
than .5% :-) and I almost always shoot Canon, sorry C***** SLR (but not
always: some Pentax ) and so fulfill the criteria laid out on the page.

I'm very happy to be an amateur, as the only person I shoot for is
myself. I made a web site so my mum could see the pics, bugger everyone
else <vbg>  I am humbled when I see work from others that I admire, and
even more humbled when someone likes mine.

More importantly, I have virtually no aspirations to be a professional
photographer - for most, the money is not good. However, if I got made
redundant then I dare say I would buy some more bits and hawk my stuff
like mad. Nothing concentrates the mind like lack of income. And then I
would be a whore - something to which I've always aspired!




Cheers,
  Cotty
