>>295052Son, we live in an internet that has photography boards and those boards need to be guarded by men and trolls with cameras. Who's gonna do it? You? You, xxLonelyDragonQueen14xx of dA? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for film and curse the
deviantart.com generation; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that the rise of digital, while tragic, probably brought a new golden age for photography and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, protects boards from the waves of crap. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that board, you need me on that board. We use words like composition, lighting, meaning. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to perfect something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who posts and trolls under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a camera and make a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
