But to further reply to your post, I guess that what I was trying to say (in a rather tongue-in-cheek fashion), is why do they have to slight "amateurs" in their ad?
I know we've had a few "pro vs. amateurs" slugfests here, so I don't want to start one of those again. But some of the most beautiful photographs I've ever seen have been taken by amateurs. And some work by "pros" (whatever definition you want to use - and once again, I don't want to open that kettle of fish either) that I've seen has been, to say the least, uninspiring. I know the ad was probably intended to be somewhat humourous, but the underlying assumption or inference that using "pro" equipment makes you a better photographer disturbs and upsets me somewhat. -regards, frank Mark Roberts wrote: > Frank Theriault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >But I AM an amateur... > > Maybe, but you're saying it quietly and with dignity, not screaming it. > > -- > Mark Roberts > www.robertstech.com > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
