<\/a>After our SNAPP event a couple of nights ago, I came home and started doing the usual check of websites\/mail accounts\/feeds before hitting the sack. \u00a0There’s this Meetup group that I co-organize here in Tampa. \u00a0In that group a couple of people had gotten into a dust up about an image.<\/p>\n

Apparently one of the photogs in the group took an image of someone and was (in their opinion) heavy handed in the processing. \u00a0Rather than talk to this person in private, you get things that are posted like “Overzealous processing.. ” or “I didn’t \u00a0know doing\u00a0hallucinogenic\u00a0\u00a0was required before processing” or “this is what’s wrong with HDR”<\/p>\n

My favorite of all of these was this one, which I HAVE to quote.. exactly:<\/p>\n

(If I was just a dumb model, I wouldn’t have opinion on this matter; but I’m a professional photojournalist, and feel the compulsion to clarify some things)<\/em> ….we’re photo professionals–we’re supposed to aspire to professionalism<\/span>. But you will never see this sort of zealous over-shopping done in print because it is amateur….. \u00a0but I feel like no one is doing anyone a service if we never identify that this is a problem<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I sat there just wondering… “Man, that’s quite a bit of nerve ” (I actually said something a LOT more colorful than that). He prob made that person feel horrible! It made me think back to another set of events I experienced not too long ago. \u00a0Same vibe, different circumstances.<\/p>\n

As much as i don’t want to have a problem with this – I do. \u00a0Here’s how I see it. There is a BIG difference between TEACHING someone and SCHOOLING someone. Want to know what the difference is? read on.<\/p>\n

Here’s the gist:<\/p>\n
