    	Professional  -    Someone who can take a picture with an instamatic
    			   that looks better than anything you or I could take
    			   with a Hasselblad.

    	Serious Amateur -  Someone who doesn't want to use anything that isn't
    			   labelled "professional".

    	Hobbyist        -  Someone who really enjoys taking pictures and likes
    			   to think about the art and the process involved in
    			   taking a picture.

    	Snapshooter     -  Someone who can take a picture with a Hasselblad
    			   that looks worse than anything you or I could take
    			   with an instamatic.


    (Clearly I'm a hobbyist.)

Actually the phrase I like best is that for a good photographer:
	A more expensive camera won't let you take any better
	pictures, it just makes it more convenient.
