So true!

I came across this rant on another blog and had to re-post it.  Photography has become more than a hobby for me, it's become a passion.  I feel like I've wasted so much of my life because I've only recently gotten into it.  I don't claim I'm professional but I would like to be some day.  The more I learn and read, the more I want to get out and take pictures and I honestly can't get enough of it!  This is embarrassing to admit but sometimes I'll wake up a night, not being able to go back to sleep, because I'm thinking of techniques to try, angles to explore, and places or people to photograph.  So when people give credit to something/someone other than the photographer, it's hard not to take offense.  When someone's art isn't fully appreciated, or when they think they could do the same thing without effort, it sucks, but even worse, it hurts.  There's a lot more to photography then just having a nice camera or a good-looking model.  So read this article and tell me what you think.
