That's the thing about photography people know what f 8 is and they know how to focus a camera so they think they know what being a photographer is. In ANY sub field of photography being weddings to underwater they can only guess what it's all about. I've done all kinds of photography and weddings I'm sure are like El Salvador. Shooting wars. Things are flying through the air folks and the inlaws are not pleased... I think these people making these equations have neither done weddings for a living nor worked at McDonalds. Me I'd not put down working at McDonalds I've never done it and would hate to try it. A good chance I'd not cut the mustard reaching for the ketchup instead. Plenty of people I know use the term "McDonalds" when they are referring to a tough super organized workplace which is envied in the business world. And not just the fast food business world. There is a McDonalds school if I'm not mistaken and plenty of people don't make the grade. Other businesses will send their employees to McDonalds school as spies pretending to want to get into the burger biz when actually they get into the nuts and bolts biz. This of courses makes for some over cooked nuts and bolts with lettuce and tomato. And chipped teeth.
