Yes 'photography' along with 'writing' and 'music' are probably on everybody's interests list in the fucking world. By now it should be a given that one probably likes music.. why waste your time listing it? It's also usually listed in between about fifty bands.
I totally agree with you.. EVERYONE says photography is an interest or a hobby.. But just because you're a camera whore who needs to take 20 billion pictures of yourself you're NOT a photographer. I get the same feeling on people who say body modification is an hobby, unless you're doing it for shows, or actually get something done pretty often or are at least monthly changing your body, just because you have one piercing it does not make it your hobby.
Thannnnnk you. Well this is where the fine line between interest and hobby needs to be drawn. I'm interested in body mods but it is so not a hobby of mine.
Because to call that photography is an insult to me. I love putting band aids on people but I wouldn't call myself a nurse. I don't consider that photography in the sense of it being a bonafied interest, because if it was...than everyone is interested in photography. And everyone is interested in eating. And shitting.
