Subject: RE: Technical Writing vs. Professional Writing
Whenever I get asked what I do, I tell them I'm both a writer and a
photographer. When the next question is "What do you write," my answer
is "I write installation, user and service manuals for the machines that
make the chips powering your computer, smart phones, and smog
equipment." That's usually enough to change the conversation to my
photography.
