10 Things I Hate About Photography

[Iguanasan]

oh that was nothing.

see, I don't understand the people who have a hobby and then bitch about it. Stop doing it if it's so awful. No I don't think everything is perfect, but if you get into something you have to take the 'good' with the 'bad'. It's all perception. Cost of storage? Really? That's what's getting you down? Shoot film. Oh wait, that costs money, too. Gee, really? This isn't free? Oy vey. People like him just suck the air out of a room and I got enough of that already, I don't need him to kill the joy of photography, too. No one's forcing anyone to do it so cut the crap.

yeah, I'm cranky, but it's stuff like this that makes me nutty. It's a HOBBY. Love it or leave it. It's fun. Can't anyone remember fun anymore?

Ok. I'll stop.

Hehehehehe... Nice! I totally agree with you as well. People like to complain. It seems to be part of the human experience.

I'm mostly better now. I did 4 miles and only had one hacking coughing fit. See...that's positive! Oh and I wrote a rebuttal - http://wickeddarkphotography.com/201...t-photography/

I think it was meant to be taken in the spirit of humour, and as such I think we can all relate to each of his points. It is a sort of "Don't you hate it when" thing. Don't you hate it when you notice a particularly beautiful scene and you are dreaming about what great photo it would make, but someone honks and jars you out of your reveille? Don't you hate that? (It's not the dreaming you hate it's the being woken part, you hate.) As for colour mangement, if you do a lot of printing, then yeah it can be a bit of a *B* and I don't know how many times I have loaded a photo on the web in RGB colour space and then had to delete it and replace it with a photo converted to sRGB because I forgot to convert it and the colours were all wrong. :(

you have a point, but I said I was crabby, didn't I?

Cranky or not, your 10 things you love about photography are well thought out and expressed.

Thanks WD for your 10 things you love about photography. I was also having a cranky day and reading your list has made me feel much better.

[Wicked Dark]

thanks guys. I'm amazed I was so coherent so early. And on cold meds to boot!

Not sure there is anything about photography I dislike since most of his points I cannot relate to except the equipment one. Now the things Wicked loves about photography I can relate to a few more of those.
