Retain the Spirit of an Amateur

[nadimpr]

Avoid categorizing yourself with labels, or engaging in debates that seek to define terms such as "professional" and "amateur". A good photographer is not concerned with these phrases, but rather focuses on their craft. The word amateur does not imply a lack of skill.

Those with true knowledge understand how much more there is to learn.
