My money’s on second class. We’re all in a recession apparently.

From what I’ve been hearing, at least as regards science/medicine, very little stock is invested by employers in where you did your degree: it’s mainly how you do in your degree that influences them. Of course, that’s a generalisation, but yeah.

And having a life matters the most I feel. If I don’t have time to play piano, the world can go screw itself.

Comment on Lomo LC-A: Why? Actually, Lomography: Why? by Pete Ashton

Yup, the Lomo thing is kinda tragic. I’ve got a fondness for the occasional trashcam (the Vivitar Wide & Slim being a particular fave - cost me a quid) and reveled in the accidentally genius shot or two but the whole ethos behind Lomography stinks. You are not alone, and sadly you’re by no means the first to spot this nonsense.

Seriously? Vignetting only happens with too big of a hood? Methinks you should take another look at “lens design” and image circles.

you’re an idiot. if somone wants to use cheesy effects let them. it doesn’t make them bad artist. it makes you a stupid audience. “btw I hate your art because you don’t use the same techniques i do”. you moron.

Vignetting “This, frankly, never works.”
Wow, I stopped reading after I read that crap.

EDIT: I didn’t like the textured photo. But that was digital art, not photography anyway.

Wow, you couldn’t find worse examples? I like each and every photo in here. Even the overly-saturated HDR that I like because it was a bit funny and cartoony and not serious.

Thank you, Mr. Young, for summing up the wrongdoings that photography faces today. I heartily agree with every item on your list, especially the overdone, eye-burning HDR.
I’d add unnecessary black and white to your list- a lot of people use it as a crutch when their color doesn’t turn out just right.
Similarly, selective desaturation is too often used to highlight a specific element that could’ve benefited from better composition.
