>>4401466>A photo of something interesting taken with the shittiest gear on earth is better than yet another GFX100S snapshitAnd thus, we're back to pocketable compacts and phone cameras BTFOing even the highest quality foolframe and Large Format film faggot, because at its heart, photography is primarily a format of visual archival medium, and not art. Photography CAN be art, but it is uniquely rare and requires tenfold as much luck than technical and theoretical skill.
I've actually found the most "artistic" looking things I've created with photography are the hanging frames with multiple slots for smaller photos, where you can combine several shots to create a theme or a story. But then, that means the artistic part isn't even the photography itself, it's the presentation.
Back to the idea of keeping /p/ alive, is the unfortunate fact that for every halfway decent photo, most people have dozens of shit ones at least, so things become a bit of a numbers game. You go to a place, take 100 photos, 5 are alright but you then realise mistakes, get input, and otherwise aim to make better photos the next time you go out... two months later.
The result is the reality that good photographs are a trickle of gold splashing upon the faces of shitstains sitting in their airchairs, calling you a faggot for using a snoy.
