Hey, I'm far removed from my 20's (have a 21 year old son), I do work for
several 20 something artists. If the 20 somethings are having fun, making
a living, and paying my bills, who cares how they look.

Who said we care?

But why/how do they pay your bills?

I would have thought it obvious:

WHY: He works for them
HOW: With a paycheck, presumably.


The fact that Tom is the one writing the cheques to the billers is
irrelevant, immaterial and quite inadmissible in this scenario, if it
pleases the court.

Now, to bring it back to photography (well a little bit anyway), I will now
quote from Monty Python:
---------
Man:
Oh! Well, never mind. Dib dib?
Is your uh, is your wife interested in... photography, ay?
'Photographs, ay', he asked him knowlingly?

Squi
Photography?

Man:
Snap snap, grin grin, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more?

Squi
Holiday snaps, eh?

Man:
They could be, they could be taken on holiday.
Candid, you know, CANDID photography?

Are you sure that wasn't that "flash mob" thing (or what they call it)?

Whats a flash mob?

That's when relatively large number of similarly dressed people enter
the store at approximately the same time, ask the guy at the counter how
much would it cost to put a roll of E6 film through C41 processing, buy
a lens pen paying in quarters, then sneeze and leave. It is a hobby, I
guess.

weird but interesting. It seems a lot of work is being put to fit
into some kind of artiste stereotype look. Anyone notice this in the
field? Most of the shooters I meet overseas/US on assignment here do
not look at all like that interesting looking crowd.


Going to artwalks in Seattle, my observation has been that the quality of
the work in the gallery is inversely proportional to the quality of the
party and the level of artsie hipster pretense being displayed. Certainly
there are people who are spending more time posing like an artist than being
an artist. But on the flip side, the artists doing their work disappear
from public view, they're too busy. So you are left to observe only poser
photographer stereotypes. The real photographers, I imagine, are out in the
field shooting something and you're not there with them.
