Subject: [Leica] Photographers you should ignore(?)

I came upon this today:
<http://portable.tv/loves/post/photographers-you-should-ignore/>
(a couple of the example photos are not work-safe)

Thoughts:
While there is a kernel of truth to each item, the whole piece comes off 
as very cynical and snarky. It does point out how many photographs today 
are mostly about the technique used or the cool-school-du-jour that they 
adhere to. And how now that everybody can take technically passable 
photos, an incredible amount of garbage is generated, which can bury the 
good stuff by its sheer volume.

And yet, beauty is still beauty, pathos is still pathos, and insight is 
still insight.
