Wow, well this shows how much people seem to actually know about taking pictures. yeah with automatic cameras that you don’t actually have a seperate lens for and does all the focusing and aperture itself, that is lazy. But the mark of a good photographer isn’t that black a white. The best photographers don’t limit themselves to “lots of natural light.” they make many many film stocks depending on the situation. Night photography is very common, and having the sun directly on the subject is quite boring. It’s actually best to have it from every other direction. I feel like some dumb fool is trying to tell me something that he has no understanding of. When you can tell me how much light loss there is between an f. 3.5 and an f. 8 then maybe I’ll respect you a little more. And no, a real photographer can use flash, personally I prefer it in black and white so it doesn’t overexpose anything too close by, and if it does it doesn’t make it look like one of those awful instant cameras, which I’m gonna guess is somewhere in the neighborhood of what you use. That or some little pocket digital camera that you can cheaply whip out. Have you ever even used a photo-enlarger or had to remove a roll of film from a camera and place it on a film roll and can it in complete darkness using only your sense of touch? Yeah, I thought not.

Try harder.

“What you don’t know about photography could just about fit into the grand fuckin’ canyon.”

yeah BN you are only interesting when you write about stuff you know about !!! you didn’t make a valid point here at all- taking photos is easy, taking interesting photos well that is fucking hard.

it is not anyone’s fault that you are not interested in photography, if you were you probably would have something interesting to say about it !

I enjoy taking photographs. I enjoy having people tell me I take great photographs. I enjoy seeing my photographs featured prominently on a number of web sites. But, most of all, I enjoy not being you.

[...] STREET BONERS and TV CARNAGE » PHOTOGRAPHY IS FOR JERKOFFS "You could never in a million years say the same thing about a real art: Let’s say you saw GOD or a UFO and then WROTE about it. Your writing would still suck shit and be way worse than James Joyce or Jim Goad’s killer works. That’s because writing is a real art that you can’t just push a button and have a machine do for you. To recap: VAN GOGH’s oil painting of dogshit is better than your oil painting of GOD!!! The same is not true of photographs." Laughed and laughed and laughed. (tags: photography funny) [...]
