Photography as Fashion

This is a chapter from the book A Lesser Photographer.

Here’s to the fashionistas:

to the ones who wear a camera to complement their clothing

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 lament the loss of their safe business models

to the ones who wish they were born a few decades earlier

to the ones who scoff at hobbyists and amateurs

to the ones who talk about creativity, then fully automate their shooting

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