Here’s to the Phashionistas:

- to the ones who wear a camera to compliment their scarves and skinny jeans
- to the ones who agonize over the number of compartments in their bags
- to the ones who wouldn’t be caught dead with black lenses on their Canons
- to the ones whose judgment of an image is shaped by who and what made it
- to the ones who blog when they should be shooting
- to the ones who lament the loss of their cushy business models
- to the ones who wish they were born a few decades earlier
- to the ones who use retro filters
- to the ones who scoff at hobbyists and amateurs
- to the ones who talk about creativity, then fully automate their shooting
- to the “self-taught”

Thank you. You make it so much easier for the artists to stand out.
