I worked in prolabs as photographic printer in the 1990s to 2000s. There were always those customers who had to let everyone know, "I'm a professional photographer!" After they left the store we always said, if you have to tell us, then you're not! I find the same thing with gear heads being photography gate keepers. This quote from Elliot Erwitt sums it up, "All the technique in the world can not compensate for the ability to see."
This was lovely!! I've seen way too much "real photographers don't ----" a lot lately. Rediculous. A fun YouTube photography channel JUST posted a video on this too and I recommend it. https://youtu.be/y4I24tZC9t0
I live in Newport News and I am addicted to digital and film street photography. I'm retired and spend time wandering around large cites, but I also wander around Tidewater and Norfolk area. Seeing what you are doing is uplifting and inspirational. I don't know how to go from LR to Instagram so I've only posted on FB.
