Its sad that you make such judgments about people. Oh well. I have spent years among and working with artists. I am a classically trained musician and I also spent many years in art school studying fine art painting and photography. Sorry, but the nerds I know don’t care.

What I was saying, until it was taken out of context, was that most artist tend to have deeper emotions. If you are not passionate then you fail as an artist. I will stand by that statement 100%. What I think many artist complain about is not necessarily the tools themselves. What I think they are really complaining about is their inability to create their true artistic vision. That is why good artist are always trying to advance, and sometimes that comes out as complaints against their tools.

Yes, everyone is going argue that the tools don’t make the artist, but sometimes they can limit the artist. If you give me a pencil, I will make you a great piece of art. However, I won’t be satisfied because I want to put color into it.

This statement couldn’t be further from the truth. Period. Artists I’ve met have always been more capable to slow down and appreciate the small things. That’s a main goal for an artist, being able to slow down and capture an emotion or a truth in a way that is often overlooked. I’m not saying they don’t take things for granted, that is human nature, but they get a lot closer than other demographics.

I’ll tell you who you’re describing, technology buffs. nerds.

And it’s a very easy and horrible thing to mistake a photographer and a nerd. I feel sorry for you.

It’s just nice to sometimes look back and realize just how good we have it!

Anyway keep up the good work.

Great post!!
