Lets think about it. The reason for forums is so that people can state their own views and hear from others. If it was really self-righteousness then why would i bother to post this up and listen to what others have to say? If I was that selfish, I might as well just lock myself in and think...

Exactly. It's not like I'm posting it on some other important and irrelevant forums. I posted it here to ask for views. Views from different people because I want to know who disagrees with me and who doesnt. and WHY. Like I said, the only reason why I got so affected is becasue they are my...

You are totally drifting away from my original meaning and putting words in my mouth. 'Suffering is needed for passion?" When the hell did I say that. I said perseverance. Plus "Based on TS logic, if a poor guy shoot with P&S, and then win competition and get a pro DSLR , it means he has less...

or avartar!

PLUS, everything is on auto and there are so many effects to choose from!

HAHAHA, sounds reasonable and beneficial for everyone else! i should trade my mobile for his 7D. :bsmilie:

I apologise if this thread seems like a rant. I think i could not control my emotions and typed out the thread with anger. I just want to post this up here, to see what experienced photographers think. Its more like to understand.

It probably is. I'm not too sure myself as well.

Rich people with sports car. Do they really love the car? Or are they buying it for the sack of looking cool. Fashion people. Branded goods. Same as cars, they feel superior when they own one. Cameras. Do they really have the passion for photography? or are they buying it to look good...

If somebody has passion, they would fight for it. They would save up all their money to get themselves a camera. While some would rather sit there and wait for a camera to be given to them. The only reason why someone would save their pennies for what they want is because they have the passion...

I'm a teenager myself. There are many ways I can tell when they dont have that passion for photography and that they only got the camera for reasons. I just feel pressured because when I started photography, I had to built up everything myself. But for them, they just get what they want...

Its the determination and the love for what's around me. However, these people hardly have any passion.

thank you so much! :)

Recently, there has been a high rate of teens buying dslr cameras. Do you think they are really into photography? moreover, those cameras were paid by their pitiful parents. These bunch of teens would look at a website with pretty pictures and feel like they are in love with photography too. I...
