Photographers complain the most. Optimism is not their default setting.Perhaps among themselves the radiate confidence but to reporters they present as the most put apon members of the human race. Disappointment is their daily bread. They pack their cameras every morning and head out into the streets in a mood of resigned dispair. The fine pictures they bring back are passed off as accidents. They mask their pride and grumble.

...ps...

the best exchange between a journalist/writer and a photographer was from years ago.

When the photog got an award or some accolade, the journalist would always compliment him for having such wonderful, expensive equipment. Despite the photographer's efforts, the writer's attitude wouldn't change.

So...

One day, the journalist won an award for quality writing or storytelling. The photog called and complimented his friend. He exclaimed that it must have been created on a VERY expensive typewriter (hey...it's an older story). As the writer began to speak his defense, he finally figured out what his friend had been trying to tell him of where the creativity lay.

My guess here is that the journalist probably had no worthwhile internal drive, had had to let go of his therapist due to the economy, and was resorting to tearing down the good in others rather than find the good outlook within. Should have suffered broken fingers until he could "see the light" through something like a broken Holga.
