Reply To: Where are most of the Fauxs Located?

[JanJan]

I don’t really think this thread is like a witch hunt, and in my honest opinion, no different than the Fauxtogs who should end up the main page thread. Just wanted to put that out there.

I gave examples to show that fauxtogs are everywhere, even in Cali, where I was born and raised. I’ve met people from other states who think that Cali is some out-there exception to the rule over every other state. Yes, there is more diversity and a lot more people, but I don’t judge someone’s talent based on where they’re from. The biggest talent could be from an obscure town in the middle of nowhere.

However, I will give someone props for making it out in the big cities because with so many people, it’s much more competitive. And on a side note, this competitiveness in jobs is the reason why I moved to a much smaller city (Vegas).

Jeremy Cowart is a prime example. He’s now a celebrity photographer, but his career started in Nashville, his hometown (obviously a far cry from Hollywood). Here’s his website – http://www.jeremycowart.com. I first heard of him when I attended Photoshop World in Vegas, where he was a speaker.
