Some of you folks should log off the computer and go outside to take some pictures. Somewhere remote. Away from other people.

That's perfect!Who's touchy?Haha Don, you're a fun guy and it's been fun to read the responses of the touchy. You do have a way of getting them out of the woodwork. How obtuse must people be not to spot someone is calling themselves a professional without such basic experience in the profession? Maybe you have disturbed a nest of wannabees
I bet you don't even get the joke you just made, which almost everyone will see, either

Nothing wrong with being a new photographer.Do all photographers make fun of new photographers or is it just DPR posters?
Everything wrong with starting a business selling services you have no experience providing.
She should learn to shoot and then start the business later. What she's doing now is damn near fraud. Would you pay someone who's never used a camera to be the lead shooter at your wedding?

And here we have another person who pretends to know things they obviously don't.
Once (if capable) common sense is applied, you might realize this could be a professional with a portrait business who wants to learn weddings.
That wouldn't make you guys feel better about your own skills though. Best to make up facts about fraud, and not knowing how to use a camera.

Well, this is not what you said originally. You pretty much said that you must watch YouTube to learn something.I'm glad I could add some value to your day with my opinion!
Until you try it like I did you will never really know exactly what you can, or cannot, accomplish as a result of your time investment. Of course you need to be a person who knows how to learn through that medium in all fairness.
People learn in different ways which I accept.
How sophisticated you need to be to "know how to learn through that medium" if you force yourself to use it?

For millennia, students have acquired knowledge and skill by working with someone possessing master skills in their chosen field of endeavor. This has been true not only in the trades but also for artists, philosophers, writers, scientists, warriors, etc. Why shouldn't this approach apply to wedding photographers?
This is a proven and practical way to learn and then demonstrate competence that usually exceeds individual study and personal experimentation alone.
You say in your DPR Profile that you are a carpenter. This is a set of skills that I admire and respect a great deal. When you were learning, did you ever work with a carpenter of greater skill to learn and then demonstrate your competence?
You state in the above quoted/highlighted excerpt from your experience that you took an apprenticeship of sorts for a period in your yachting pursuits. It seems that was an essential part of developing your mastery.
By the way, your poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation combined are a major distraction to conveying your message in a convincing way. But maybe English is not your first language.

Of course not, he taught himself.
Otherwise, after saying this, he'd look like a total fool:

Okay... maybe it'll help if I type slower...
So after she studies and is then required to follow doctors for a few years during her residency (internship), are you going to laugh and tell her to learn by herself ?
That would be as stupid as laughing at a second shooter. Especially since it is a very common way for photographers to learn weddings.
