Keeping the hobby a hobby, while not stepping on professional's toes?

"Guy or girl with camera." It is referring to people who have just purchased their cameras and still shooting in the P mode or Green Box mode and wanting to make some money from their photography.

Thanks. all of this texting abbreviations has prompted all too much assumption that everyone else knows what acronyms are being used <shrug> when many of us are in the dark about the meaning of the acronym, especially on an internationally used forum.

It just seems like you don't want the hassle and responsibility of shooting for pay. Just flat out refuse. If someone else comes up to you to shoot their wedding for money for example, just say no!

I would have zero issues shooting for family and friends for free. But anything beyond that, I say no, b/c you end up being THAT guy who'll always say yes, and you don't want to end up being THAT guy.
