Amerikan, early thirties. Guess based on two Japanese among favorites.

>photographers
I don't have any. I'm a conflicting romantic cynic. I like history and art up to a certain point, and that extends into photography for me, although it's mixed indistinguishably with my other passions of cinematography and painting. I respect and like photographers for the effect they had one the genre, but I'm quick to find faults in everyone work, and I often change allegiances. Romantic part of me is drawn to aesthetic side of the genre. Landscapes, removed still life series, old glamour photography, travelogues and the like. And cynic to whimsical, ironic, lighthearted and comical topics. I dislike preachy and pretentious high art photography.
>photobooks
Not very proud of it, but it's the same here. I've some taschen art books, a horde of pdf photobooks that I rarely peruse, and my most prized photography possessions would be natgeo collection of some old issues, and various cine and photography books on technique, and history of both arts.

His great attention to detail is his strength, but not only in the emotions and human relationships for which he is known, but also in his emotionless work. I'll give you an example in the next post. This is about relationship.

Two questions lads, theoretical just want to hear your thoughts:
>1
Must a photographer be good to take good pictures? (Or can a person who is holding a camera for the first time take picture that will be in the top 100 photos in the history books and talked about decades later....)
>2
Do good photographers have bad pictures? (Scenario: well regarded photog, dies, people love his work, son finds a few films that photog used to test camera or something and never meant to release, pictures are objectively bad, son sells them, people hype them with fake stories, calling the pics minimalist/bauhaus/abstract/surreal or any other buzzword. Would that make the photos good?)

Ken Rockwell is the worst photographer i've ever seen i dont care if this is a joke. he reminds me of an old guy who calls himself a painter but all he paints are shitty landscapes and flowers that end up in the goodwill where hipsters throw the picture away to keep the frame.

>Does a photographer need to be good
No. There's a myth that there are only True Photographers who produce fantastic images with every press of the shutter, but these people don't exist. Even if they did, they would still not be the only "real" photographers.

Photos can hold historical/documentary value without being very good technically. But a seasoned photojournalist has a much better trained eye and sense of composition and is more likely to yield a result that does a fantastic job of telling a story, instead of just being a competently exposed picture.

>do good photographers take bad pictures
Absolutely. There version of 'bad' improves in quality - they'll pretty much never taken an out of focus snapshot with terrible composition, but they can still produce boring duds or practice shots while working to create a better image. Or in the case of those who shoot events and such they were hired to do, you're expecting consistency for sure, but even then not every image they produce is a guaranteed keeper.

I'd say that the "good" photographers are truly good at one thing, and that's curation. They have the self restraint to know that not image they produce will be amazing, and what you see is only their real best work.
