I feel that it is not very feasible to act/photograph like a "pro" at
all. What amateurs tend to forget is that a "pro" makes pictures to
make money, to create a PROfit !
That does IMHO not mean they make the best photos - rather that they
work efficiently, always looking at their gain (don't get me wrong, they
HAVE to - to earn their living). Why all the amateurs (which BTW comes
from "amare" - to love !) want to be like "pros" is a mystery to me.
There is nothing wrong with being a "pro"-photographer BUT I enjoy being
amateur and doing it for the love of photography and plain fun.
I hope I didn't step on to many toes, just my two cents worth....
