for other pro photographers....?

[jake..]

what do you consider other photographers? do you consider them competition? or what?

also how do you deal with everyone thinking they are a pro photographer just because they have an good camera or dslr?

in my are you see it all the time... someone gets a dslr and there trying to do portraits and there photos are not really "pro quality"

for example almost every pro photographer has a twitter or facebook page now adays...

there is one girl here that is calling herself a "pro" and shoots with a point and shoot camera, and her photos lack quality (there really grainy or poorly lit) and she is charging 200 for a session.... and has tons of follows.... they must all be friends... while there are people who really are a pro and have been doing there business for 20 years that charge 250 or 300.

i guess i just kinda get annoyed with people who think they are a "pro" just because they have a fancy camera... dont get my wrong i do have great respect for the "real pro's"

your opinions? experience with this issue?
