\"Pro\" is in no way an endorsement of confidence regarding ability, work ethic, or professionalism (\"pro\" not equal to \"pro\"?). Most of us have heard horror stories of the horribly inept wedding \"pro\", yet I would still call them \"pro\" photographers.

Being a pro has nothing to do with being a good photographer.
There it is in a nutshell, really. A pro \'tog is someone who makes money from it, regardless of what it is they happen to produce - and I\'ve seen some truly, embarrassingly grim \"pro\" photographic work...
I\'m always so glad when someone totally knows what\'s the right answer. Here I am, always doubting: politics, philosophy, arts, culture, right, wrong. Turns out it is so simple, really...
