I was once showing a group of friends some of my photos from Ethiopia and
one of the people commented well, anyone can.
Well, he's right.
Anyone can take good photos in a place
like that ... it's just that not everyone does.
Exotic locations merely provide an opportunity. It's
I don't exactly expect to make money off the photography, but I won't

If I'm not mistaken, a lot of what Miserere was saying in that article
was with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Or maybe I just need new batteries in my sarcastometer/ironicalgraph.

I think he simply points out there are different reasons why a picture
is considered great. More to the point, some expect of the shot
(location, subject, technique, composition, etc) has to be great, not
necessarily all of them.

Sky Captain is visually delightful but with a mediocre plot and
screenplay. Gwyneth Paltrow is stunning, however, and I just love the
photography subplot and jokes. Plus the other day it was on late at
night and the couch was awfully comfy.

But on the other hand it is easier to get photos accepted in
competitions or in the Pentax Gallery if you photograph exotic locations .-)

No wonder. Ohio is not considered exotic.
Maybe if I shoot some images closer Kentucky ... :)
