Embracing our irrelevance. One person's take on the "demise" of popular photography...

 A photo friend sent me a link to this Australian bloke's video. I found it true, somewhat funny and kind of resolved at the end.

Fun Kirk images below added after the fact. Just for fun. Irrelevance? What we are now practicing everyday...

So true and a very funny popping of pretense balloons the world over. I have an audience of one most days and up to five on a good day. Still a happy chappy.

OK, that's it, I'm selling all my gear and breaking out the watercolors and brushes.

Thanks for the link. Very refreshing, if perhaps depressing, at least if you are thinking about getting in as a career. But then very few painters can make a living painting pictures. (I have only made money painting houses.)
