We Interrupt Your Daily Dose of Vitriol for an Important Message

From a reader:

“asking your advice, opinion, etc.. i am a freshman photography major at a fine art school, wondering what the eff i am doing. wondering why there is so many haters. wondering if i am living a pipe dream. wondering if i am wasting my time. worried i am wasting my money. even faculty at school say that “photojournalism is competative, are you sure you are ready for that…” (WHAT??)  worried too many jaded haters to care. are you one?”

Our answer:

Is photojournalism competitive? Yes. Are there haters? Yes. Are people going to constantly remind you that this industry is dying? Yes.

Does it matter? Fuck no.

We made this blog because we love what we do and need the occasional reminder not to take ourselves too seriously.

Keep living the pipe dream. God knows we are.
