The term amateur can be used to describe someone who performs a task as a part-time activity, which is the case here.

You know, I've never understood this "you must earn all your money from..." type of approach to defining a "pro".. An average wedding photographer would pass that test but would, I hazard a guess, be pretty poor at representing motorsport (I do appreciate, by the way, that the MSA requirements are more than just the pro rule).. The point is that a specialist motorsport photgrapher who chooses to do something else to earn a corn between racing would fail that test..
The term "semi-pro" is a good one to describe myself, somebody who is performing the function of a full-time professional in a part-time capacity..
So that 70 % ruling would seem to rule me out of the MSA's radar..
Je suis éperdu..
