I fully understand. Last year I ebay'ed 6 Nikon bodies and 7 lenses.

I knew you were an advanced hobbyist and tried to come up with a
better term, but couldn't given the time constraints imposed by the
"rush" I was in while replying. I didn't want to insult you so I gave
you a new "career".

You could maybe call Michael a "Semi-professional Photographer". He
has had photographs published. If he has been paid, you might consider
him a "Professional Photographer". I'm using the term "Semi-
Professional" for myself, too, as some of my pics have been published,
not only online (by others, not just myself!), but in a couple hard
copy books, too. Ok, maybe I'm stretching / reaching / grasping, but I
like it and I'm sticking with it!!
