Ann, my personal definition is being paid on a regular basis, not once
or twice a year. A well defined part of the regular income should come
from photography. If not every month, still more often than twice a year.
Being paid by one's online or physical gallerie, stock photo use,
tornado chasing or celebrity stalking, whatever. Being paid by own
projects published, by "precomposed photos" or work for hire - no
matter. Just the somewhat constant trickle - or wide flow - of cash.
Sometime ago there were jobs so outrageously profitable that I had
little worries about bridging the time between them. That allowed for a
side as IT person and travel adviser. AND lots of travels...

Dont forget that pro photographers can only do whats economically

something
as good as possible in the time alotted, and be acceptable to client,
but in some cases an amateur can take it to
another level because there are no monetary or time limitations
involved.
Another very interesting post. I'd never thought of it that way, JCO...
I agree! Cheers, Christine
So is someone who shoots only what they wish and manages to sell their
art photography and survive on it a pro?
or a lucky amateur?
Anyone shooting on assignment within a specific time and place frame, be
he/she someone who lives only
by the income from those things or does them occasionally to help feed
the kitty or as a favor is in the same bind.
The worst of all possible binds being weddings, of course!
