Poser's, Follower's, and Fakes

Im so tired of people thinking they are photographer's just because they have a nice camera. People jump on this banwagon thinking it's cool to become a photographer. Just because you can take a picture doesn't mean your good at it. You have to have ambition strive for photography. Being a photographer means your always hungry to be the best to keep doing what your doing and putting your best foreard while doing it. Doing photography is not going to make you cool being you is going to make you cool. People nowadays think that being a artist means your different. No, that is not the case. Why are people so afriad to be themselves? I don't get it. It blows me that people try to be like someone else when the person they are amazes me more than the person they are pretending to be. I know we all have problems we don't like or agree with but embrace them. This might seem like this is going off topic but I dont care. You should do hobbies you love doing. I mean it's great if you do photography on the side but why get in the way of people who really do love it and in the future plan on making a career out of it. What i'm doing right now is my future i plan on being the best photographer I can be. Please people just take this into consideration and be yourself. ;]
