My best wishes for the New Year Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Douglas Sharp Enviado el: domingo, 30 de diciembre de 2007 12:50 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: Re: [Leica] Leica Oskar Barnack Award (LOBA) In Germany, only photographers who have learned (and passed their exams) in photography in an apprenticeship are allowed to call themselves "Fotograf" as a profession. If you haven't, you have to call yourself an imagist, photographic designer, image processor or similar to be able to sell anything without getting trouble from the photographers' guild - a real closed shop system.
