Thou shall not criticise RUclips Photographers - a lot of their content (which their audiece love) has inadvertently become satire / parady already which makes it even harder for you to parady them...
@@bcremin1 the thing is I actively don't want to be popular on RUclips, at least not in the way they are with their err hem content 🤡. In reality I should be interviewing them to raise my profile and pinch some subscribers off them... but ugh. That's also why I didn't name any names in this video. I don't want to get into a thing with them because it would actually make my channel more popular. A reaction video would be funny (and easy to do) but again, it's that 'social media language' I see that is sooo puke 🤮. Then again so is a video game / chat video and I just did that didn't I? Ha!
Oh yeah, my stepmother does photography as a small hobby, nothing serious and it's still light years beyond what I produce as a layperson, plus it takes up a lot of her time. Nothing but respect for those artists out there. I will check out that game, thanks for the recommendation.
@@HisBeverness ah that's high praise indeed! Thank you so much, although I'm not as cynical as Brooker surely!?! Someone said that about my protest photography episodes last (last year).
@@PicturesOnMyMind I'm going to have to watch those episodes. I think it's more the dry humour mixed with video games references that give me the Brooker vibes. BTW I think the tone of this channel is great - you're on to a good thing! Would be interested to hear which RUclipsrs you DO rate. Personal favourites (aside from this channel obvs): @fredandharryborden (so good!), @alecsothyoutube, @kylemcdougall, @onemonthtwocameras, @mattdayphoto, and @willemverb
Yeah, they all check out! It was actually Harry Borden, many many years ago in 2013 who heard me interviewed on A Small Voice Podcast (episode 27) who emailed me to say how much he enjoyed it that probably planted a little seed for this show.
This is so funny because i know exactly who you are talking about. There definitely is a real problem with overly confident people who have the ability to talk with such authority and create content online. Not just in photography either. These people are close to being cult leaders.
@@tomhopkins3431 It's so insane. So what can we do to change it? I believe we can do anything. What about if I engage in some good old fashioned satire? I do like to dress up. Or am I just being childish? Maybe I think doing what I'm doing focusing on other good photographers that I want to share their work is a way forward? Like ignore the loud terrible photographers and elevate the amazing unknowns?
Yeah I totally agree elevate the amazing unknown photographs and share genuinely engaging good work. But saying that I do love a bit of satire. I love brass eye and Chris Morris, so you could always take some inspiration from him.
These days, there are pro' photographers, amateur photographers, and social media photographers. Being a jobbing pro' photographer has such demands,that over time, it really does separate 'us' from others. Live and let live I suppose...?
I had this game as a kid! Unwrapped it along side Sonic 2 Christmas 94 i think. I don't know what my parents were thinking getting it for me, it was bonkers
There are very few, genuine professionals on youtube that share their knowledge not to be popular but because they want to share it. I know one Optics expert that shares his knowledge on lens design who dies incredible work and has a lot of views.. I think there is interest in genuine advice from professionals, but flashy „content“ is just more popular making the actual good advice much harder to find. My hope is that people will stop wasting their time with social media and „content“ creators, and just do their own art.. So many could be great minds are seeminly forever trapped in a mindless gaze onto the screen.. scrolling endlessly with no objective.. just looking, getting some sort of satisfaction from things that speak to the primitive side of our brains.. completely bypassing any chance of creativity, activity or just relaxation.. The new generation is doomed to not only back and neck pain, but also to an immense lack of ability.. And art, the actually good stuff, will almost die off, with AI crap flooding the internet, and less people actually able to do things themselves… Oh man.. i shouldn‘t think about these things at 1am…

saying that, a good old fashioned reaction video might ruffle a few feathers and be fun
@@bcremin1 ah, true. Hmmmm.

Love this! Feels like the photography version of Charley Brooker's Screen Wipe.

God, I hope so. Thank you

@tomhopkins3431 great idea, I'm actually feeling more suggestable through the keyboard right now!
The room you're in is like my mind at the moment!!
@@davidxflood admittedly the pinball machine takes up a lot of real estate.... Ha! I tidied one of the bookshelves in December! It's a process

@@AndySnap I guess. It's so weird though isn't it? It's like we need a new indie photography to push back against the mainstream social media vibe.
Yes, live and let live! :)
@jbentosimoes what does it matter to you? When you've got a job to do you've got to do it well. You gotta give the other fella Hell 😜
