I think in my career I was an amateur (one who loved photography) 
masquerading as a professional.  I never used a stylist, make up artist,  
and only rarely had assistance from our students.  Also never used Polaroids 
for checking exposures, etc., or bracketed much, and liked Kodachrome over 
E6 films.  I was fortunate that I could shoot in the style I liked and not 
pay attention to what the current fashion was.
