Ramblings

Enough of them one-liners, don't you think?
The rabbit is creating annoying rattling noises in his cage it's driving me insane.
Sometimes i just want to kill him.

Annoyance aside...
I'd just seen a photograph someone took...in the typical wanna-be artsy fartsy fashion that people are so inclined to take these days. A leaf, a plant, a flower, a lilypad...photographed at an angle with various focal length settings and shutter speeds...in a pond, a lake (any reflective surface for that matter) reflecting the sunset, sunrise etc. you get my drift. 
It just seems so pretentious.
And now that the blasted DLSR has become affordable and a household name, i just can't see photography as a profession anymore.
It's become just. another. hobby.
Cause everyone everywhere will have some photo or another of said fashion and everyone everywhere can just claim to be "photographers". 
Well, those who can take decent photos, of course. 

Isn't that quite sad, then? that the jobs of these people are taken away by hobbyists doing it as a side project?
It's not like i'm affected. i can't even begin to understand the physics of picture-taking. can't even be bothered lugging a point-and-shoot around, let alone that giant of a camera. 
But it's just slightly irritating that by just owning a fancy pants camera everyone is made photographer.

Why do i sound so bitter -__-"
Nothing against having a hobby.
Just...leave the artsy fartsy stuff to the pros, thank you very much. 





Side note: whyyyy does shipping take so long? ugh. had the perfect xmas gift for dad all planned out...but it can't get here in time for me to bring it back. sighz. such is the unfairness of life. sometimes.
