Iโm no part time dilettante photographer, unlike the bartenders, shoe salesmen, floorwalkers plumbers, barbers, grocery clerks and chiropractors whose great hobby is their camera. All their friends rave about what wonderful pictures they take. If theyโre so good, why donโt they take pictures fullโtime, for a living, and make floor walking, chiropractics, etc., their hobby? But everyone wants to play it safe. Theyโre afraid to give up their pay checks and their security they might miss a meal.
WeegeeI have no chips on my shoulder. I like to be constructive. As I have said, I have inspired many persons to take up photography. As a matter of fact, I inspire myself. (When I take a good picture I give myself a bonus.).
WeegeeThere are photographic fanatics, just as there are religious fanatics. They buy a so-called candid camera there is no such thing: itโs the photographer who has to be candid, not the camera.
