My question to you would be, are they getting better image results with their "fake camera's" than you? :)
I agree..
Over the years there has always been cheep forms of recording images..
Some may remember the instomatics, 110, disc, just to name a few,
Oh and I must not leave out the Polaroid line.
The point and shoot camera s etc.
Yes they are and always have been annoying and somewhat embarrassing to see people use them and think they are capturing a high quality product.
Well we who have committed ourselves to a higher level of real photography must endure these kind of people, they are and have been ,and always will be around.
They supply the money for the technology for us to use and enjoy our better equipment. In purchasing these poor image making devices.
Everyone wants to be a good photographer, few are willing to do what is required to make not take images..
We who are serious must work harder , learn to work around them when in our way , choose a different view point, do better homework and arrive at the scene when they are not around, real photography has been made in this way always.
On a rare occasions you get to see the photographer in a scene surrounded by unflattering circumstances making an image.
Unfortunately that's the case most of the time.
They are usually and unfortunately not the only one there.
I as well as many of you have the story of how the shot got made,
and what it took to get it made..
You are not alone in this subject..
