It seems
. No, it is a reality, the ever popular and reoccurring thread passes through the halls of TPF that people are rude with their C&C. For arguments sake, lets call them pros. Even though I know many, myself included, are not in fact, making any money out of photography and it is considered a hobby. In the same breath, they are seasoned, reasonable individuals and are passionate about photography. This assertion is unfairly misdirected mostly towards a small contingent of astute observers IMO. There are too many to mention and I wouldn't want to leave someone out, so go figure that one out on your own.
There is an even smaller circle of jerks that like to run amuck and merely stir the pot for a reaction. Guess what? Theyre the ones youre bitchin about.
But guess what again? Yer bitchin makes me want to stop altogether. WTF do I get out of this? A couple of likes, a few giggles, catch a mistake, put someone in their place, the occasional vent? Its not that simple, at all. I like to share the wealth to the deserving, pay it forward so to speak. Ive put a lot of effort to learn a few things about photography and it pleases me to pass that on to those willing to listen.
It may seem that there is a lot of ME in the previous paragraph, but that is not the intent. I know there are many others on this forum, which I have respect for, that are of a similar mindset. Some may actually be pros, but many are also just regular folk that know a thing or two. I thought of finding some of my better and some of my lesser C&Cs as examples. Some are very good and some are a waste of time. Everyone oscillates. But you can do your own damn searching.
So the question remains .. Why do the pros hang out in the Beginners forum? Ill answer the question with another question. Why would you take advice from someone that hardly knows any more than you?
Notice: this post is on behalf of the rude, curt, blunt & ostentatious posters of C&C............. and for gsgary.
