what is worse?

Time puts things where they must be... Time has told, tells and will tell which threads are more interesting to our society... In general those with different opinions, I think... But most threads are nothing. Threads about what we consider good or not, and why, seem to be honestly interesting to some people who don't want to win by posting, and tend to irritate other people who prefer to imagine people want to win by posting... Freedom to imagine... Once I heard freedom is sometimes a beautiful name for solitude and bitterness... I enjoy others' opinions: we learn things even if we don't change our opinion... I think a "nobody" can say a famous photographer is great, and I think a "nobody" can say a famous photographer isn't great... Why not? I try to feel others' opinions: that's the game, and that's where pleasure is... Obviously there must be some reasons for their perceptions... I don't see things as right or wrong, and I don't see people as right or wrong... Words aren't even enough to comunicate: communication is a pure uthopy to any serious philosopher since 19th century: A says X and B doesn't understand X, but imagines A said Z... That's how our brain works... Apart, where's the glory in saying a great photographer was great? Isn't it more interesting to say, for example, A.A. wasn't a great photographer, but a musician who decided to be a painter inside a darkroom, working from boring negatives that don't look great as a start? It leaves space for more than adoration after creating gods...
Cheers,
Juan

arguing about who is a good photographer or which camera is best?

is this what the internet was created for?
is this why there are photo forums?
Click to expand...

I like doing both. I like nearly all photographers, and have yet to find a camera I would not argue in favor of. The answer is yes.
 
Perhaps not "arguing", but rather a "discussion"?
Anyways, it's all subjective.... preferred photographer & preferred gear. It can be a never ending spitball fight :)
 
There are no photo forums. The internet was created as a way to share information between libraries. It has morphed into social media. Which is now, more media circus. Sometimes unduly politicized. Still, I am always hoping for the best in people.....
