Really, REALLY? I dont want to cause a row here on the Tumblr interwebs, but photography has become such a teenage hipster thing that it totally devalues the entire institution of photography. Buying a DSLR and slapping a heavily post-processed image of some girl with her back to the camera in an “I’m so fragile”  pose doesn’t make you a photographer. It makes you a hack with what amounts to an expensive point and shoot camera. The work I see here on tumblr is utter garbage run through a Photoshop wash cycle with a faux Polaroid degradation in image quality used solely to cover-up piss poor composition and a lack of imagination.

Branch out, please, create something new. Don’t fall into cookie-cutter “art” for the sake of making something that will possibly get you reblogged. Value your vision, value your work, and value your individualism.

And I swear, if I see another “I’m so fragile” pose in a picture, the rant will get uglier. :)
