None of my friends do photo.
I'm not on flickr or insta or tumblr.
Posting as anon on /p/ is my only interaction with other photographers.
I get laid without playing the photo card.
I don't share 99% of what I shoot.
I actually literally just take photos for my own enjoyment.
When I gearfag it's because I want a sexy camera or lens, that's not a crime.
So many people in the photo land get caught up in crazy point scoring and comparison and angst about how they're perceived or what they think about other photographers, when the reality is NOBODY CARES.
Your photos and how you take them are of literally no consequence to 99% of the people you know or ever will know.
