I am not a professional photographer, and I am not a professional choral singer (I am an enthusiastic amateur at both). I =am= a professional physician.
Professional photographers and professional choral singers make the best of whatever situation they encounter. Crappy light, bickering families at a wedding, a lousy choir they're helping out as a "ringer"--they put it aside and turn in a good performance. Similarly, I encounter occasional families I don't like, and =lots= of situations I don't like, but I put my feelings aside and do the best I can. +That+ is what being a professional is about. It is not just a question of doing what you're paid for; it's a question of turning in your best even when everything sucks.
