Why Are There So Many Gay Photographers?
I went into the Sammy's Camera Store in Santa Barbara a few years ago
and it was pretty crowded with customers and employees. Suddenly I realized that every single guy in there except for myself seemed to be gay or at least gave a really good impression of it. They were swishing around the store and lisping away and I was left wondering what had happened to the town where I once lived. It's no secret that there has always been a certain percentage of gays amongst photographers, perhaps greater than their numbers in the population as a whole, but this was kind of, well, shocking. What do you suppose there is about photography that attracts gay men and why do they presumably do reasonably well in the field? For one thing, photography requires a great deal of manual dexterity and attention to detail. And there is a lot of pseudo-intellectual, phony bull**** in its various disciplines, which are many and varied because cameras are such valuable tools in so many other areas of interest, from art to science and everything in between. Do most of the gay photographers specialize in studio work or would it be more accurate to say that they dominate the strictly commercial end of things? Just wondering. |

It must be tough to live with yourself, all that raw talent and "self-confidence" all bottled up, just waiting to get out when the first hot nude babe comes strolling along who might take her clothes off right in front of you and let you "shoot her." Tell me, aren't there any problems with your wife getting jealous? Oh, maybe you don't have a wife. ....grow up my friend. You first, moron. Isn't it past your bedtime? |

With all of that "self-confidence," one might think you could address the original post directly instead of firing whiny little pot shots at posters with something to contribute. I guess when you get ignored too much, it warps your personality. |

Actually the several times I did nude photography for clients I was being paid well to do so, do you have an issue with making money? Tell me, aren't there any problems with your wife getting jealous? Oh, maybe you don't have a wife. What does she care, she doesn't pay the bills and is well adjusted. ...grow up my friend. You first, moron. Isn't it past your bedtime? I like your creative dialogue you should be in politics. |

You hang out in a newsgroup about photography, guarding the door and looking to pick fights with anyone you don't recognize. Obviously, everyone else hates your guts and ignores you because you are human debris with nothing to live for. Anyone who would pay an effeminate jerk like you to shoot a nude woman has got **** for brains. In that sense, yes, you ought not be allowed to make money because you ought not be tolerated to breathe the same air as the rest of us do. You are a waste of space and resources. Tell me, aren't there any problems with your wife getting jealous? Oh, maybe you don't have a wife. What does she care, she doesn't pay the bills and is well adjusted. He was speaking of a wife, not your boyfriend. ...grow up my friend. You first, moron. Isn't it past your bedtime? I like your creative dialogue you should be in politics. Nobody cares what you like, semen-breath. Do the world a favor and drop dead. Nobody will even notice you've gone except for the lack of noise you make every time you open your faggot trap. |

No nothing at all like that
Who thinks you're a fairy? You mean because of the way you can't get any attention (because you have nothing intelligent to say) so you come on to strangers by trying to provoke them (speaking of trolls)? Some might contend that is fag stuff. This is the twenty-first century. You can admit you're a fruit. After all, who cares? Oh, maybe that "wife" you supposedly have. - Mr. Poop sucker. Guess I touched a nerve. |

Actually the several times I did nude photography for clients I was being paid well to do so, do you have an issue with making money? Who cares how many times you did nude photography for clients? Is that supposed to make you some sort of expert on nude photography, particularly with the female nude? I mean, are we supposed to think you are some kind of an artist rather than some "well paid" whore? Why should we believe that you are being truthful in the first place? You demonstrate a complete lack of character with your strangely hostile posting behavior, so why wouldn't you lie, since you think it proves something, when clearly it proves nothing at all. If you don't demonstrate obvious deceit along with your sick attitude, then you clearly illustrate your ignorance of the English language. Two independent clauses are not joined with a comma, you pathetic moron. You must be one of those photographers who can't do anything else but click the shutter. I can imagine what grades you got in college Chemistry, that is, if you took it. You are no doubt one of these guys who only shoots in black and white because "nobody does there own color printing anymore -- its too difficult!" Tell me, aren't there any problems with your wife getting jealous? Oh, maybe you don't have a wife. What does she care, she doesn't pay the bills and is well adjusted. In this day and age, a woman who doesn't pay any of the bills at all can hardly be called "well-adjusted." ...grow up my friend. You first, moron. Isn't it past your bedtime? I like your creative dialogue you should be in politics. That time the little moron didn't even bother to use a comma. Yup, there's little doubt about it. He's an ignorant Gen Xer. And here this little pussy is, telling me to "grow up." Good ole Usenet, where the sissies get away with anything cuz no one can touch 'em. Hey, you don't suppose he'd have the guts to post a name and address so I can go punch him in the nose, do you? Nah, he's "inaccessable." |
