Am I A Semi-Professional Photographer?

I just spent most of the last three work days doing photography. Our communications specialist wanted to improve the photo/phone directory for our department. So she asked me if I would do portraits of our staff. Of course I welcomed the opportunity. I’ve done a little bit of photography ‘on the clock’ in the past, but this is the most I’ve done at once for my employer. So does this make me a semi-professional photographer?

There are about 240 workdays per year. I spent three doing photography for a living. That’s one eightieth of my salary. Not a lot, but at least I can now partially justify some of my expenses on equipment. And it is good to put on the old resume.
