Everyone's a damned photographer!

Everyone's a damned photographer!

I feel the same way about HDR. Just because your phone/software/camera has that feature it doesn't make you a photographer.

I've never imagined myself a photographer. Back in the day of actual film cameras I took the lousiest shots imaginable. Got so that I would never take a shot even if given someone else's camera. I'm slowly getting to the point where I take a shot with my phone (the new one I just got is taking some getting used to camerawise)--but I'll never give myself that particular moniker.

I have a proper camera, and understand f stops and shutter speeds and focal lengths, but i dont consider myself a photographer really. Sadly to me, hdr "photos" are pictures, not photos, to me a photo is painstakingly setup to capture something, not what technology or software can do with it. A picture is a representation, hand done or manipulated and can be perfectly beautiful... But its not a photo

I knew a amateur photographer. Always had a satchel and one or two cameras around his neck. He'd take 2-3 hundred shots, never ask anyone to "pose" and "disappeared" from group/family outings constantly. Once n a helicopter.

Never sold a one but he has dozens of great slide carousels and thousands of negatives.

I HATE bossy picture takers. My uncle Larry spoiled me.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
