All I can comment on is your last words, ego is what drives most
photojournalists. If you've never had the "opportunity" to meet some of
the
folks who seek celebrity thru their work, you've simply been lucky.

Believe me, they're out there.
I know, I used to be one of them...

I've met a lot of people who seek celebrity as photographers, but none "made
it" in the long run, and IMHO it's the long run that counts. I can name a
few news and journal photographers I know who have done very well by being
low-key. I'm sure you can, too. Celebrities get what they deserve. It is
their own making and unmaking. But we know that.

The most positive contribution I can make to this conversation is to
invite
you to leave it. Please do so.

I wonder if "empty pontification" qualifies one to post in the vaunted
View
Camera magazine forum...? hmmm...

I think anyone can post to that forum. I looked at it shortly after it
started and the momentum seemed to fall off very quickly... or maybe it's
been edited down to the very few acceptable posts. Dunno.

I think bozing is very amenable to LF work. As is swimming.

My apologies - that should read 'boozing is amenable to LF work.'

It was in Chicago around the turn of the century. Sorry! :-)
