[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 527198, member: 34269"] Regardless of what it is... pick anything... you can find someone that will be glad to tell you how if you do not do it his or her way you are some how less than they are. I am glad this guys is 84 and I am glad he lives in a rent controlled building in New York and could only afford to take one picture a night. I am also glad that he got to live his dream as a paid photographer. That does not make him better... it makes him different. It makes him very fortunate. When I was growing up my Dad taught me that the true sign of your character is how you spoke to or about someone that had no power over you, and that stuck with me. Kindness is free. I was impressed with the photos that they showed of his... not to impressed of how he spoke about others that were trying to do what he did... Even if the medium is different. I like taking photos. I like doing it the best that I can. I am here to learn from a group of people that truly are willing to share what they know... And I like it because because I do not see a lot of people talking down to one another... and that is rare. Even neater... there are so many that are defending what we do. Very cool. I made a good choice signing up here. [/QUOTE]
