>>2690422I find this shit more prevalent in photography than almost any other art form. 2nd place is writing.
The barrier of entry is lower than it has ever been. You could go drop thousands on a FF camera with a top of the line lens, having never used a camera before, not knowing any about the history of photography, and you'd be taking pictures in like 5 minutes.
That's not the problem though. The problem is when that person thinks they're good because of their gear. They mistake technical aspects of a photograph for creative skill.
I think Bruce gets this, as he even says that anyone can take a good photo, but to really create a body of work takes a lot of work.
I don't think this is the fault of liberals, but I do think this stems from a sense of entitlement. These people would generally call you an elitist, especially if you referenced something they didn't know.
