Pet Peeve:
When people claim to be "photographers" by taking black and white photos of random objects very close up. A piece of fruit, a wrought iron fence, zoomed in so close you can hardly tell what it is! Oh, how artistic and original! Genius!Then they post their "artwork" on their profiles and their friends encourage them by giving compliments.
I realize there is a lot of learning and experimentation involved in ANY form of art... but come on. If you take a picture of the sidewalk in black and white, and you're like "Gee golly whiz this is great!"... you should probably keep that picture in a box somewhere until you get better. Just a tip.
Probably more on this later.
