Forget professional landscape photography, an industry DESTROYED by Marc Adamus & his cronies. |
In these tough economic times, many are wondering what their next step will be in the search for a career, or a job to pay the bills. Times are desperate. I understand, truly.
You may have seen the online advertisements for art schools, especially the ever-present Brookings Institute ones. They use bullshit phrases like “follow your passion”, with a picture of a backwards-baseball hat wearing loser and a tripod/camera in a field, to describe one ad.
Don’t even think about it! While many college degrees offer at least a chance of career advancement or a better job somewhere down the line, these photography degrees are worst than a waste of money. They’ll leave you deeply in debt, for nothing.
In fact, even trying professional photography without a degree is a losing venture. Don’t believe us? Take a look at Flickr, for one. That’s thousands of losers you see, just itching to be published and have their “abilities” acknowledged publicly. Forget getting paid to be published; these losers will pay others to have “their” images published. You have no chance against these imbeciles! In fact, you have less than no chance, because these losers steal the compositions of real professionals, thieving hundreds of years of artistic experience, and throwing it away for pennies on Dreamstime (a de facto terrorist organization that wages economic terrorism against the USA).
This is what Marc Adamus & Kevin Mcneal breeds: dozens of LOSERS who are desperate to be published. |
See these losers? They’re all lined up, loser by loser, desperate for fame and fortune. They don’t care about being paid for these images. They will pay others for the glory of being published. You have no chance against these imbeciles!
Look at the scum Miles Morgan. Earning mid to upper six-figures as a senior airline pilot for United Airlines just wasn’t enough for this ambitious artistic titan. No, he had to chase that elusive fifty cents an image that microstock offered. And so he did. This so-called pillar of the community was, in fact, waging a jihad against an all-American industry, all to satisfy his selfish, personal lusts for recognition and fame. He even exactly copied images Marc Adamus had taken, which Marc had no doubt hoped to license for hundreds of dollars, only Miles was offering them for cents. I wonder if Miles Morgan had any photographers living on his block. Photographers who would greet him and smile at him, without knowing that Miles was stabbing them in the back and undermining their work. Without knowing that his desire for vain recognition had no limits, even to the point of helping to destroy jobs and committing what can only be frankly described as acts of economic terrorism. What else would you call someone who steals something you made, and then tries to sell it for pennies on the dollar, only in this case it’s for vanity, not to pay the bills?
Why am I telling you this story? Only to explain how the odds are completely stacked against you as a potential professional photographer. There is no hope, none, of employment in this field, at this time. Even if you are extremely good and manage to market yourself to the right audience, envious scum like Miles Morgan (and thousands of others on Flickr/photo.net/npn) will copy your work (ie, steal), and give it away for pennies. The photography industry is in rapid decline, and the unfortunate truth is that it may have to be completely destroyed, flushing out all the Miles Morgans/Darren Whites/Marc Adamus’, before it can be reborn and provide the jobs it once gave to decent Americans.
Don’t make the mistake of investing thousands of dollars and hours of your time into a hopeless field. The scum that are currently ravaging this industry, the Adrian Kleins, Kevin Mcneals, Jim Pattersons, Steve Sierens, they just don’t care. Their personal quest for fame and money is far more important than anyone’s career, life, happiness, or anything else in this world. Don’t get caught up in this rat race. Don’t be another person stuck selling “workshops” or “photo tours” to pay the $6000 minimum bill for the photographic equipment you’ll purchase. Read more about that here.
You are probably reading this blog post because you happened across it while searching Google on prospects in the photography industry.
Don’t be another statistic, saddled with tens of thousands in debt from a photography school, or thousands in debt for equipment you can’t use to create enough revenue to buy a soda pop, thanks to the SCUM, THUGS, and fame-seeking MORONS out there.
Keep up this great blog. I am glad that someone finally had the courage to step up and speak.
