Amateur Pros

This is one of the anonymous mail-in secrets featured on PostSecret this week.This person is calling him or herself a professional because he or she has accepted money to take pictures, but obviously not becuase he or she actually has any photographic experience. He or she is one of the thousands...or millions...of "professional amateurs" out there who are hired to take pictures solely because they have what people perceive to be a "nice camera," and not because they actually know what they're doing.Scary.That's like hiring someone to perform a piano concert just because they bought a piano.
