McDonald's sells plenty of hamburgers but if I was a graduate of the
Culinary Institute of America I am not sure I'd consider their fare
<professional>. While your stuff may really be excellent, I have seen
plenty of people pay good money for what I would kindly describe as organic
fertilizer. The mere fact that it sells does not, to me, render it
professional.
I would like to think there is a quality and/or aesthetic quality to
professionally produced work. Some of my customers would happily settle for
70 or 80% of what I am capable of but producing at that level would not be,
for me, professional.
BTW, in photography, I do not think that an image produced by a
professional camera is a priori professional, nor do I think an image
produced by a camera deemed non-professional renders the image less than
professional. Very few of my clients care what equipment I use. They care
about results.
