However, this is not to say I am beyond reproach. I’ll admit that I used to be that guy. I was the one who hated on any picture someone uploaded to a Facebook album entitled “Photography” and hated on anybody I saw with their two thousand dollar camera set to “auto”. Slowly I realized I was merely putting down others to make myself feel better. Who am I to say that I am more important or artistic than someone else? In the end, someone’s blurry polaroid of a flower can be just as valuable as a black-and-white print I produce. The camera is undiscriminating, and in that statement lies the beauty of photography.
