Excuse me, Ms. Lew, your photography sucks ass

The title says it all.

I could never imagine people have to take a major like “art” or “photography”.  Dance and music are even on the higher end than those, for which requires skills and years of training before taking on a professional route.

But photography and art are different. You don’t need to “learn” to paint or take a freaking picture.  All you need to do is move your fingers, and your performance is entirely subjective,  how freaking abstract is that. 95% of the time you are the only appreciator of your own work.  This is also a legendary major selection attracting emos, losers, lost in life, and do not have a effing idea of what they want to do.

I can even add on to the requirements: those who recently broke up with their partners; those who can’t do anything better, not even in social science.

“I want to become a photographer!!” . To me just sounds like a statement of giving up in life and trading in unproductivity, self-absordedness, and too emo to take an academic major or else I fail every class.

Unlike dance and music, you do have to learn ballet or play piano. Those stuff are for real, and to get into a professional school in that league- difficult, competitive, and have to undergo a strict range of performance standards when it comes to candidate selection.

I once attempted to spare my afternoon for a leisure besides crunching numbers and financial engineering. In a matter of two hours I put on make-up, posed, took hella pictures that later become widely acclaimed by perverted guys.  My profile picture is one example.

Trust me, there is such a thing as a good photographer.  However, they are born talents who do not need to pretentiously proclaim self as an artist.  If they do go to an art school, their work must be utterly impressive even as an 19 year old undergrad.

This lady dropped out from UCLA art school, and then transferred to some New York liberal fine art college that never been heard of in pursuing her dreams.  She recently wanted to pursue wedding photography business. I checked out her work.  They dull my eyes.

After two years of fine art training in numerous lower and upper division classes, I am surprised by the low quality of her work.  Obviously, Ms. Lew, your innate ability is far from calling yourself a photographer. Your portfolio does not even meet a decent level of impressiveness.  They fortunately only carry beyond the definition of mediocrity. They suck ass just as much as Heidi Montag’s performance at Miss Universe’s 2009 opening. Not even Anderson Cooper would bear taking a second look.
