EVERYONE is into photography!

Calm down now.. before you get offended and especially before you agree.. this post might just baffle you, because I don't think it's what you are expecting.

Remember how EVERYONE used to say..'EVERYONE has a blog'.. well that the thing with photography.
I see tweets on a daily sying stuff like...

'I might as well get me a Nikon and stand on third mainland and take pictures and call myself a photographer'
                                                            OR
'So now you got yourself a professional camera, you're a photographer? Oh yeah? Cool bro.!'
                                                               OR
'Every Tom, Dick and Harry is claiming photographer'

and the list goes on.

The worst thing was that I used to be one of those people. *currently kneeling down and raising up my hands* I did, but then I got a camera, it wasn't a Nikon or Canon, it was a simple Fujifilm. I'm not gonna go all spec on it because that's just harvesting humiliation, but my point is, when I ha that camera, I felt empowered... It felt something like a third eye. I could see beyond what the average human eye saw through that lense. At this time I had a tumblr, and I was bored of the same photographs being recycled and one day I saw these:

And then I thought.. well, I want to be able to take photo's like that.. so I took my camera and well.. never actually did anything. Anyway, I realised how much of an art photography was and the ability to appreciate these photo's is in itself something valuable. I see photography as a channel of expression. Whatever you capture, represents you. So now, when I hear that 'Please everyone who has a camera is a photographer line/...' I just want to kill someone I laugh because its true. EVERYONE CAN'T be a photographer, They have the ability to identify a message or something beyond the human eye. This is what distinguishes photographers from everyone else, so you can get you a Sony a290, Canon EOS1100d or whatever but your not a photographer till you make that your third eye.

Who's a photographer I here you ask?

Before you say I am biased.. I only know one of these photographers.. but I'm in love with both!!!
Watch their slide shows and tell me photography is NOT an art!! (I have slap on speed dial oh)

Anyway, If my point is not clear well GET A NEW BRAIN!

LOL..
Honestly though.. I hope ypu enjoy these photos as much as I do.
