Yeah once when we had a big group. I'm not sure how serious the question was though lol. It's either that or they assume that since the cameras are so large it means we must be pro photogs.

back lit with an LED flashlight diffused with a 35mm film canister, lit on the right side with an ipod touch with the Flashlight app on, flamin hot cheetos bag cut in half to light the left side, and a mirror on top to light the front glass element.

Now picture the LED laying behind the lens, the ipod touch leaning on a keyboard and held up by a 35mm camera in front of it, the chip bag and mirror being hand held on the side side and top at the same time all while trying to depress the shutter to make the timer go off to get the shot.

You know you're a Photographer when...

You finally come to terms that no amount of $$ spent on gear is going to make you any better than someone with lesser gear. People will like your work and won't even know or care how much money you spent...

"Photography will most likely not make you rich but offer you deep satisfaction,fulfillment and joy beyond imagination."
