For anyone who has gone through "Fine Art photo" contests, workshops, blogs
etc... This is of no surprise.

"Fine Art Photography," by the fact that it has to have a name, rather than
just "Photography," is a different animal from just about anything any
Leica shooters (or LUG shooters) would shoot.

It's all about expressing the artist view of their navels, with some flying
goats as a metaphor of some aspects of human psyche or a reflection of the
inner turmoil of the minority group...

Of course they are the ones that sell the 12 million dollar stuffed sharks.

Yea, I am sort of bitter :-)
