  2. I think I am a pro. What do you think?

  3. I stumbled on an ad on facebook for a “photographer” and she has some “albums” posted on her facebook page that have some shining examples of poor photography, just like what you show on your page You Are Not A Photograhpher. All I can tell you is to search her out by her name and look at her work. You will see what I mean. Her name is Kelly Swedeen Photography.

  4. Feedback please…..
