Adam,
Forgive me - no intent to hijack this thread, but there is another important point brought up in the OP...
I've seen too many people do the following:
"I have professional equipment, therefore I am a professional photographer... " and sometimes that goes to "therefore I am entitled... "
What the heck? Demonstrate your ability, not your camera gear...
I really don't concern myself with a person's equipment choice(s) - bottom line is the image(s) produced. To me, nothing else is as important, unless the gear limits you. If the tools do the job, that's all that matters.That being said, I still get some raised eyebrows from others when I show up for a shoot or when teaching a class, since over 95% of those camera owners use Canon or Nikon.
Adam clearly shows his eye and capabilities in his work (excellent work!), and it's probably much, much less repetitious than this fellow....
Regards,
Marc
