You hypercites!

Hey Dude, i'm 20, male from Australia and i really think you need some chill pills dude. I've spent hundreds of dollars on my equpitment, and photography's my abmition. They say 1 picture can speek 1000 words...some photographers want to break that score. Sometimes ya just gotta relise this is how these people acually live...and are not just picked out by the photographer just coz they look strange or doing something that is not acustomary to our way's of life. I know of photographers/journalists that have been to third world counties, and have gone to take a picture of the locals and infants and have looked through their camera viewfinders and paused, then have just broken down in tears. Sometimes its that depressing, they cant mentaly bring themselfs together in order to take the picture. what some people have got to realise is that there's more to phography that just pointing and pressing a button, because thats what drive some photographers to exel in that field, because they love the subjects AND their way's of life! We HAVE to respect their way's of life, becuase i know for sure that photographers dont say; "Oh look that aborigional's drunk!*click click*" ...or..."Oh look that Amercian has a gun *click click*" you get the general idea... photographers DONT expliot other disadvantaged comunities/people. its the stereotypes you should be verbaly attacking. I work with a vietnamese man, and he tells me how these people live and how they work, it is differant yes! its bloody simple minded stereotypes that think otherwise. Open your eye's dude, and accept people for who they are and thier religions. Photographers ONLY show the world as it is, and i bet those pics where selected by a stereotype from a huge bank of al sorts of people photo's...just trying to make a false point!

               Peace out Dude's :)
