In photography, Apple devices, and more– we all want to be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pro.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d But what if it wasn’t desirable to be a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pro\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and it was better to be an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Amateur\u00e2\u20ac\u009d instead?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why I love being an amateur photographer<\/h2>\n

Okay first interesting thing,<\/p>\n

The word \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Amateur\u00e2\u20ac\u009d traditionally meant someone who did something for love. It comes from the word \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Amator\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in Latin– lover.<\/p>\n

So if you’re an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153amateur\u00e2\u20ac\u009d photographer, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad photographer. It just means you make photos for the love of it.<\/p>\n

What is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pro\u00e2\u20ac\u009d photographer?<\/h2>\n

A \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pro\u00e2\u20ac\u009d photographer is a professional. It means that they get paid for what they do.<\/p>\n

What is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153photographer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d anyways?<\/p>\n
