I'm lazy :\
Also, fuck developing colour slides yourself. Black and white, sure, that's easy, but anything else, fuck that.

Lol - yeah, black and white is easy... never tried color though! O_o

Good shots I think. But hahaha! This guy obvious need a girlfriend!

Well, it is unlikely that you will be able to make enough money off of it. I am speaking statistically of course...

I'm not saying this to discourage you, just saying it to really show that if you want to make it as a photographer - you will need to try reaaalllllly hard. Or do it as a hobby / side job.


As far as my pet peeve....
I hate really "artsy" pictures. Things like "I took a picture of a cardboard box and the lighting was kinda shitty...but made it black and white so now its really damn cool"

Having gone to an art museum a few days ago, I found things that really grind my gears. A small square on a large canvas. How exciting. But that picture was getting the majority of attention from the crowd.
However the picture of a large, incredibly detailed and well presented cityscape got no glances. I guess looking at it just because it is weird is one thing, but actually saying that the square took talent / skill / time is comical.

Not quite photography of dolls, but Trevor Brown does some crazy doll related artwork.



Apparently you don't really understand art...

Thats so not true. If hardly any skilll is still required, then how come it takes years of practice to become a good photographer? Taking a picture has not become a lot easier or anything like that.
Btw why do you not like people who have never shot with film? Cant really understand that

Learning to become a photographer is much easier with digital over film, that's a fact, it can take years, but most people with an art background are at a serious advantage because they understand some basic design principles.

Yes, taking a picture has become much easier, go shoot a few rolls of low ASA slide and tell me how it's just the same as taking shots with a fully automatic digi cam.

To be able to take good picture you will need to understand how your camera works anyways. I doubt you will ever find a good photographer thats always shooting on full auto. Basically youre saying you hate people who have never taken pictures on manual settings.. The Automatic part has not much to do with film or digital

Understanding DoF and shutter speed doesn't take a genius, it's when it's combined with ASA, granularity, push and pull processing that it starts to get hard.

Any idiot can understand how a digicam works.
