Hello, new to this board but long time 4channer here.

Full disclosure like I'm a bad picture taker but seemingly EVERYONE is a photographer at this point. My wife's friend who is a nurse said she is a photographer. My sister in law says she is a photographer. My doctor says he does photography part time. How hard is it to take a picture? I'm just saying. I feel like cameras are a super autistic thing to get into. Its become a meme. Cell phone cameras work fine for most shit. The new apple camera is dope as fuck and also works with bad lighting. If you're a wedding photographer or something thats one thing but sell me on why I should shell out huge money for something to post on Instagram or a picture to hang on my wall? For fake internet likes that don't mean shit? I can just go to wal-mart and have the guy there take a family picture with plenty of different backgrounds. Someone camera pill me on why I should go buy a nice camera instead of just using my cell phone because I don't see the point, what the hell is the difference?
