Only a full time PJ or studio photographer."
I'm in my 25th year of making my living solely as a photographer, unless
the fact that I occasionally write and sell a magazine article, usually
illustrated with my photos, disqualifies me. Ted Grant has been doing it
longer than I have, I'm sure, unless the fact that he picks up a bit of
change doing photo workshops disqualifies him.
But don't limit it to PJs and studio photographers. There are plenty of
people like me who do corporate, advertising, and editorial work (and
maybe a few weddings) almost wholly on location and only rent space when
we need to do the infrequent studio shoot.
