“Photography has its communicative classes, almost like a feudal society. It has its kings and knights ( in shinning coat of mail., no less), its jesters and courtesans, and of course, a huge amounts of peasants. If you be lacking in respect of to play in the court of the respected and approved, you bear to follow some well established rules.”
And so writes Paul Melcher in his unexampled Thoughts of A Bohemian blog.
As way of background, Paul Melcher brings more than 17 years of experience in technology breakthrough and leadership roles for world-renowned photography agencies and was named by American Photo as single in kind of the “50 most of authority individuals in American photography.”
Firstly, I’m pleased that this post seems to be spreading quickly in photo busy vigor circles, and is extremely popular. It probably last will and testament deservedly ruffle some feathers, and, through humor, make the self-appointed industry luminaries look at themselves, and perhaps laugh.
Secondly, I’m rather miffed that travel photographers are not mentioned upon the list. It appears that the top photo “royalty” are conflict photographers, and the bigger the scarf, the higher they are in the hierarchy, while the “low lifers” are amateurs and microstock photographers.
I really don’t want to be kingdom nor cozen I want to be a low-lifer…so what about a knight? Yes, that’s a good place to be.
