step away from the holga and no one gets hurt | Redlights and Redeyes

I’m sorry, as cool as your out-of-focus, Hipstawhatever iPhone looks, it isn’t creative.

I don’t know how more bluntly to put it, but the proliferation of imagery lately is slowly sucking the creativity out of photography.  In fact, it has become more formulaic than anything else.  I’m just as guilty.  Just scroll down and see my last post.  I find a wall with some random graffiti cover-up and a splash of paint and I nearly wet myself.  It’s refreshing.  Therapeutic.  Completely worthless and self-absorbed.  I have come to a realization that I am contributing to the decline of photography with every click of my camera.

You are too.
