What earns the title "Photographer" to you?

[wanderer86]

Amateurs take pictures of things
Professionals (photographers) take pictures of light
Artists take pictures of ideas

I can agree
I think it's more that while everyone can be a photographer, an amateur is someone who might do more of a "spray and pray" technique while they're learning the ropes. A "professional" photographer is one who has studied different techniques and refined his or her style. In the end everyone is a photographer, it's just the caliber of photographer that you are.
