Have you ever thought in how photography seems to be the one profession where people could instantly join the club purely on the basis of owning a camera? Think about it. Taking a drive to the nearest hardware store to buy a fully equipped tool belt is just as easy as stopping by an electronic store to pick up a camera and yet under no circumstances would I publicize myself as a newly indoctrinated carpenter who could build you a marvelous kitchen set.
I finally called myself a photographer after a few things happened. My photos were embedded on popular blogs, I reached 10K published photos on Flickr and I reached 2 million photos views on Flickr. Before then, I was not a photographer. In truth, I’m still amateur and know I have a lot to learn but my camera is in my bag right now. it’s heavy and adds a lot of weight but I keep my camera with me constantly. Most “photographers” don’t do that.
I love the new “iPhoneographer” set who have finally admitted that it’s just filters that help them take a good picture. I love Jorge’s argument.
