Reply To: My favorite local fauxtog

Cameralicker: But the tech talk is all worthless if the person is focused on the specs and not on what is actually in front of them. Which is what is going on here. I had to sketch every frame I saw before I snapped a single frame (in college). So whatever I shot, should be worth taking the time to draw. It’s hard to believe there is an inherent learning curve to something that comes from convenience (digital camera) to something that comes from meditating on the “why”. Do you believe they learn from their mistakes this way?

In essence, the lousy fauxtogs that continually make the same mistakes and copy other fauxtogs making similar awful choices. Consider the commonality between the shooters deemed “fauxtographers.” Then read above…where the shooter glazed over the “why” and jumped to the issue being their gear is the culprit.
