An open letter to Canon from safetyhammer on Vimeo.
As someone who has seen the prosumer proliferation of both Photography and Video, this video is spot on. I know too, too, too many people who consider themselves "photographers" with shitty equipment, horrible skills, and no compositional ability. Yet they get labels of staff photographer for a music show or tour photographer on a big tour and even in the MOST ideal environments still can't compose a great shot. If you can't take a good concert photo on a soundstage lit for TV or in a venue where the tour is rolling in with 3 truck loads of lights then someone should punch you and take your camera.
