Where Do You Rank with Photography Snobs?

Deceased, but remembered fondly here...
"Today, many photographers prefer to categorize themselves in self-assigned niches. News photographers hardly talk to sports photographers anymore. Everybody has their group, association, blogs, and forums.
Photography has its social classes, almost like a feudal society. It has its kings and knights, its jesters and courtesans, and of course, the peasants.
So where do you rank on the totem pole of photo-snobbery? Here’s a quick take, starting with the photographers most respected (by snobs) –"


See where you rank....

There isn't a brand name associated with any (Nikon photographer, Leica photographer, Lumix videographer..) ? :eek:

The list is full of hyphenated photography. :rolleyes:

I am a 12. Happy to look at photos from other people, but I rarely post my own. :eek:

I guess that camera-addicted experimenter ranks down somewhere around hedgehogs.

Too true, Bob. :D Also, that hand in your avatar, is that your wife trying to keep you away from the camera store? ;)
No, one of my models.
I have thought of asking Tiffany to take out a restraining order against my wife, but they would probably think it was just bad business.

News photographers hardly talk to sports photographers anymore.
that's not true--most sports photographers are also news photographers. sports is just another assignment...

anyway, to answer the question, I rank in "The Too Poor To Read The Leica Discussion Forum Club (I tried once, but immediately got a call from the bank canceling my credit card)" much less be able to afford going to a workshop (is there a club for that too?)

As a photographer I am bar room pianist.... I can knock out a vaguely recognisable tune but will never play Carnegie Hall.....
