Ever heard of Cole Barash? Well now you have.

Cole Barash is a young American sports photographer who started at the early age of 14 (aprox). Getting picked up super fast by snowboarding industry he immediately proved himself with amazing, dynamic film photography(that's right, film, not digital).He has started using digital for convenience. His day is like: wake up > hang out with sports stars and take pictures > surf > go to airport.

film camera: the old school ones, require film on which the photos are printed on

You're right but the digital camera you posted is a cheap point and shoot camera he's using something a bit more expensive I'd bet...

probably looks more like this

Are you saying his photo-taking skills are genius? Or do you mean he's a genius because he has a sick job? Or maybe both?

Weird angle - check
Blur every goddamn photo - check
Apply sepia/black&white/old photo filters in photoshop for no reason at all - check

Realize that underneath all that the photos are nothing special - priceless.

while the D40 is not a bad camera, it is entry level and I'm sure any professional photographer considers it a joke

The priceless part would be that a little kid is making more money than you (probably) despite the fact that you are so high brow and artistically advanced that you can see right through his kitsch garbage

no, that's not priceless
that's just a sad reality
something akin to a talentless, screaming hack on the guitar making way much more money than a talented and disciplined classical pianist

I tend to agree, his photos do not contain too much essence, it's more in post-processing, which does not make you a photography prodigy. However I thought the last photo was remarkably good, I really like it.

People who have not formed an eye for quality photography (if I can put it that way) seem to be overly excited when someone starts shooting photos in an unusual/unfamiliar style.

Low or ultra wide angles, strange colors and silhouettes along with gross over-editing apparently are very appealing to a great many people, even if the photograph itself is a compositional/technical failure.

Long live the purists![image loading]

Whats your point? Priceless is clearly not a literal term anyways. Are you telling me I can't interpret it the way I want to?

Well obviously what appeals to non-connoisseurs is going to be lowbrow to those who would consider themselves connoisseurs...if it wasn't, then purists couldn't consider themselves elite.

Any real photographer knows that it isnt the camera that defines the photo its the photographer. Give someone like david la chapelle a fucking phone cam and he will stomp you even if u do have the above.

it's not just about being high-brow and lowbrow
and it's not just about preferences and tastes either
there's something called artistic merit and substance

you were ridiculing sadistx for his assessment of the photos
now i am ridiculing your ridicule
