At the same time you ask those questions, ask this one: "Are you a
photographer?" I'd say that most will not say that they are. And, chances
are pretty good that, if they say they are a photographer, they will be able
to answer the questions. Certainly, if they say that they are not a
photographer, I would not expect them to be able to answer the questions.
