am I now a pro?

[martin-f5]

some days ago I shot some photos with my recently new bought yashica electro professionel,
only a cheap test film (fomapan 100) developes in R09.

Then I printed them in my darkroom and was surpriced wich quality these negativ have,
one of them was a picture of tha local vegetable dealer.

Today I gave him his photo and thought that's it
but he asked me what he has to pay,
it ended in a wonderfull fruit instead of money.

And now, am I a professionel?

Don't forget to declare that pineapple as income!

I've used a lot of that 'cheap test film'....and coupled with the lens on that Yash. - it's a great combination!

I love this story...and as jolefler has stated, that pineapple is income now...
Trading photos for fruit...somewhere out there there's a fruit salad with my name on it...
Nice photo by the way...very nice

Great photo - I love photos of business owners surrounded by their work.
Professional means getting paid, so you are one.

Are you a pro? Yes you are. Nice, honest shot.

Now when asked by security to show your credentials, you can show them a picture of your pineapple and point to the 'professional' label on your camera and tell them to get lost!

Great story and I love both photos.

I wrote the date on the backside of the photo
