What makes us photographers?

I've rarely known someone who mainly takes snapshots to go out of their way to learn more about making better pictures. I've never known one to make a long term project of it, which is one of the things I find indicative when deciding if the label "photographer" applies.

I think this is an excellent example; a family snapshooter that everybody calls "photographer" -- which is the same thing they call David Muench.

And I agree the verb is significant when one references the making of an image ;)
