I think that the point here is that being a professional doesn't
*imply* artistic talent, that's all.
I think the word "professional" is overrated. "Amateur," on the other
hand, can be almost defined as "underskilled," which makes it a poor
word to apply to those of us who do this for the sake of the images.
The best thing is to just take pictures, and not think about labels
too much.
