Rant;

I don't think it was ever easy to make a living as a photographers, human beings are inherently just damn fcking lazy. Those who whine about it probably weren't that good or driven in the first place, and who would guess that BETTER young photographers with fancy cameras are 'stealing their jobs'. Joel Meyerowitz makes a great point in Everybody Street; how that digital technology isn't bad at all, but that is has enabled more people to make better work than ever before...

the rapid democratization has devalued the industry and by extent everyone in it.... but it's give people like us the ability to pick up a cheap camera and fucking shoot..... look at the dogma crew, they're whole premise was shooting on tiny little consumer cameras. Fast forward to today and you got 5d's on actual sets, hell, the entire series finale of House was shot on a 5D.
