@Do you even need college to be a photographer?

Yes and No. Going to school and getting a Photography degree certainly helped me though. There is much more to photography than just pointing and clicking. Also, there is no such thing as a born photographer nor a photography gene. This is an old argument that has been recently rehashed with modern digital cameras being much more forgiving. A quality looking picture does not necessarily equal a quality photographer in any shape or form. A analogy…does buying the best guitar or latest boutique f/x pedal make the person playing guitar better? A camera is merely a tool and like any other tool depends on the user.
