Professional Photographer or Not?

When are you a professional photographer? This was a question I ran into on a forum about photography.

Many people think you are a professional photographer when you’re able to create magnificent photographs. But according to the average dictionary you’re a pro when photography is your job (your profession).

So, shooting awesome photographs over and over again doesn’t make you a pro. It just makes you an awesome photographer. Selling them and living of them makes you a pro.
