“Photographers can be some of the most pretentious people on earth, and I know that because I am one.”
The gaffer tape over the Leica logo? Thieves will sell it for fifty bucks no matter what the badge says. The “gear does not matter” crowd holding a free fifteen thousand dollar Hasselblad? Sure, pal.
My favorites: calling an out of focus photo “motion” and slapping black and white on it so it passes as art. And the street photography police, telling everybody else how to shoot.
“Just shoot what you shoot. And do not tell anybody else how to shoot.” Those who can do, and those who cannot have a photo YouTube channel.
