I would love to see some of your work, so we can judge you and your talent. Just because you go to conventions does not make you an expert. Ever been published in books (notice the plural) like Miss Vega has? Or being one of the most sought after photographers on the internet like she is? Or even been featured in WIRED magazine? Didn't think so. Dr. Kenneth Noisewat–

If you've been to convention the size of Imaging, you'd know that most are scattered over a city where you waste more time walking all over the place than actually attending good sessions. As for The_Jerk, Imaging IS about the Art as the International Print Competition Exhibit is on display there. You would see images that have been judged by master photographers. Imaging is an EXPO and convention that will inspire you to shoot more than cans of PBR...you shouldn't be calling yourself a photographer. A stupid post.

There needs to be a new type of convention where the art is discussed as apposed to the gear. All anyone talks about is the gear and the $$ for the gear. I hate it!! I am not that guy but I get lumped in with it all. Didn't mean to rant here it is just the third time this morning that this topic has come up. Great work!
