Default Pet Peeve

So I hear people crying saying: "Just because you have NICE camera doesn't make you a photographer!"

when actually I believe: "If you have a camera THAT makes you a photographer" well if you take pictures that is.

I'm sure they meant to add: talented, professional, decent, good photographer.

Because I'll agree just because you have a nice camera doesn't make you a professional nor good photographer. but it does make you a photographer.

I'm not sure how others feel on the subject. Just something that has bugged me

LOL... really you don't get it? I guess subtle snark isn't your thing. Basically I was inferring I can't wait to see the responses to this one, glad I got here early and grabbed a seat up front

Be patient; give it some time. You posted this less than half an hour ago. Some people are still sleeping.

Well I was leaning towards that, but it would look bad if I ASSUMED you were waiting to see how this would turn out.

And my comment wasn't toward people lack of response it was to those who did respond. I'm out to shoot for the day I'll be back to see if I get yelled at or agreed with. I'm just saying a photographer is a person who takes pictures with a camera (just to set out the point again)
