People who write as a pastime or hobby and seek a vanity

I used to do a lot of  photography and one bid we were making for a
project out in the  jungle I added a paragraph or two with a couple of
photos. We won the bid and in the first post bid meeting the client
mentioned that "Hey those photos made it really simple to visualize
the work that had to be done".

The boss gave me a bonus :-)
