One of my biggest ones lately is in the film community. It’s film snobs who shit on teenagers and other young photographers who are “only getting into film for the aesthetic” as if all photography, as a visual medium, isn’t about the aesthetic.
The teenagers and young photographers are what saved film! Thank God for hipsters who want to use film. Less thanks for them making old, moldy, hazy cameras waaaay too expensive.
