It's their own damn fault. To most people, a good photo has two qualities:1. Has distinguishable shapes. Hey, those look like mountains and a lake on a sunny morning...or, yeah, there's a wedding party.2. Tells something about the event. Okay, looks like they're having fun there.Average Joe and Jane aren't looking for things being out of focus, Uncle Ted flipping the bird in the background, highlight blowouts, poor posing, or even giving the slightest crap about composition. They look at a photo, run down the checklist above, like/share/Instagram/PinIt and poof...someone now has a reputation as a pro photographer.Meanwhile, the photog charging $2,000 for weddings is dumbfounded.</blockquote>
