One thing I hate in photography is when someone makes the remark that someone is not a Professional photographer, “Just” an Amateur! \u00a0I’m a nice guy so I never correct them, but it bothers me all the same. \u00a0A Professional is someone that does something for money, and Amateur does something for the love of it! \u00a0It is not a definition of the quality of the work! \u00a0Quite honestly I’m now an amateur, I do it just for the love of it!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of the best photographers I know are serious, committed amateurs. \u00a0Rick Coleman is one of those photographers as is Jim Begley and Jim Haverstock, featured last week, all are shooters that have mastered the craft well and their work proves it!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rick is a very talented photographer with a great eye and wonderful technical skills to boot! \u00a0Here are some of his images!<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy his work as much as I do, Rick is also a great guy!<\/span><\/p>\n
