Digital Photography

Sometimes, I get angry with camera owners. Especially camera owners with facebook or myspace.
There are multiple reason why I feel this way. Just because you have a camera doesn't mean you need to take pictures of you and your friends every time you see them. Then go upload the pictures you just took and put them on the internet, because you want the world to know you stepped outside of the house and socialized with actual people. You then rush home back to your internet world and instantly put the damn pictures up. The same poses of you and your friends over and over does not make you a photographer. The same pictures all girls have on their social networking sites. The picture where one girl is holding the camera up while they both make funny faces. No one else is there to take the picture so you can see the picture takers extended arm on the side.

I also dislike the over-usageness of picnik and photshop. Girls, that take group photos and then write all over the pictures with stupid sayings and peace signs. Don't get me started on photoshop. People that photshop their pictures so much that you can't recognize it's even them. Girls that spend 10 minutes taking pictures of themselves, trying to get the right picture and then spend more time photoshopping it-just to go post it on myspace for their friends, who already know what they look like to see.

My point is this: Do not rely on your camera to show off how cool you are, and how cool your friends are. Don't try to make your plain pictures look artistic with the use of photoshop. If they weren't good pictures to begin with, it's because you are NOT a real photographer. That is all.
