He has some good points, but he comes off as a dick with a stick up his
ass that's so big and thorny one wonders how he sits down.

Photographers.
Read on folks. You will love it or ........ hate it. The choice is
yours. But do share some feedback - either way.

1. It is more about equipment than we'd like to admit and smart kids.
2. People are doing some unethical shit with RAW and nobody really
understands or cares.
3. Many times, sadly, it doesn't even matter if your photos are all
that good or not.
4. Photography is easier than we'd like to admit.
5. We need to stop being goddamn snobs and accept the coming of The Golden Age
Remember that asshole kid with the $ 5k Nikon D3 whose portfolio was
better than ours?
Have you played with a D3? That is a sweet goddamn camera. That can do
everything you need to do, right now. Even ISO 6400 is beautiful. And
a lot of cameras are like that. Take the Pentax K-5 – beats the hell
out of the Canon 5D Mk III, if we are to believe DxO Mark
Everything is getting better. Sony, Canon, Nikon, Pentax, everything
is fantastic. And that means more people are going to be able to
afford really great cameras that can do amazing things and we are
going to see some amazing photography come from surprising places.
It's going to be awesome.
It may also be the death of a profession – of Pro Photographers?
Is this a bad thing for the industry? Look at the quality of the
photos from a smartphone and the level of editing you can apply to
those shots on the phone itself.
No, this is a damn fucking positive thing. Cheers Photography and all
you great Photographers!
