You're right and I apologize. I noticed afterwards that you were just quoting the article. Next time you might want to put it in quotation marks, though, otherwise people think you're the one making the statement 🙂

I think the OP started this because he thinks people shooting photos with iPads look like complete f-cking idiots. He would be correct.
Timmyjoe, nice picture you shot of Frank. Sorry for your illness, and trouble in selling your work. Glad the editor had enough brains to recognize that skill is still worth paying for.

Aha! Forgive the guilty conscious.

Cell phone and iPad photography have become a fact of life and professionals are going to have to suck it up deal with it. Wedding photographers cvmplain about it all the time, but there's not much you can do. You either keep complaining or adapt and get your shot. In worst case scenerios, it sometimes has to be fixed after the fact. Here's an iPad shooter that almost ruined my shot, but I still managed to get something relatively clean. Took a little post work to make it usable though.

You have no idea how funny this statement is. I wish the editors had half the brains/balls you give them credit for.

Believe me, I am not giving them a lot of credit. They are just cogs in the managerial machine that has driven our world to ruin.

i actually thought this photo captured the moment perfectly. Obama always came across as the more tech savvy, more digital/social media oriented president, inseparable from his blackberry and even doing a reddit interview. And this shot reflects his core supporters well

I don't think you're getting what Jamie123's point and to be honest, you're analogy doesn't even fit.
Non-professionals taking pictures are not being egoistical. Heck they will probably share it on Facebook. People got that common sense that you think is missing.

The camera will soon be a function of something else, the way a clock is incorporated in almost every electronic device.

I walked into a museum with my Leica, and was told no photos inside. Meanwhile everyone inside is snapping away with their iPhones.

Yes! SF MOMA is weird/infuriating in that way...although I must say the guards themselves have been lax of late.

When I first read the title forthisthread, I thought that the OP was being sarcastic about some comment he overheard while he was using his IPad for taking photos. There is nothing wrong with using an IPad for photography. It allows perfect composition due to the large "VF" or screen of the IPad.

...and the ADD that goes along with "multitasking" everything in life shows in the quality of most of the images produced.
