I have been practicing my photograhy skills since I was 9 years old, I used what ever money i had to buy the film I needed, and worked my way though and saved my money for newer and better cameras, I developed a eye for catching just the right moment. I studied photography in college and I have had my portfolio reviewed by some of the most amazing photographers in the US, but it it not amazing that I can not find a job in this field, I can not fined much free lacne work either. Why is this? Photography has changed no longer must you have any skill, not with digital cameras that do all the work for you, and photoshop no you can fix any inperfection with a picture that the photographer should have caught in the first place. I resently lost a free lance job because of another girl who had not better camera skills or a eye for a great background, no beacuase she can use photoshop well she can change the background or fix a sun spot that could have easly been avoided, not that digital cameras has not helps us I have even upgraded finaly from film to digital, but when did it become more important to know a computer program than how to use your own camera?
This is just frustrating, to see something I have studied for so long something that has taken so much of my time, fall to laziness!
