Honoring women in Photography, blah blah blah

[Alan Klein]

I notice that many women who post and are amateurs seem to photograph better then amateur men.  They seem less concerned with technical stuff and get more into feelings.

... all the misconceptions would be cleared.

And what misconceptions would those be?

All kinds. I guess, I'll have to start using those little funnicons in my posts.

Hi,

I sort of have noted that women are sometimes more interested in usability than price tag...

Best regards

Good Lord, Alan, a new species?

For feelings, you need amorous men.

How do you press the shutter button with more feeling?

What, and break the macho tradition?

Don't you realise it would be the beginning of the end for the entire sports world, the heroes we are all supposed, and encouraged to admire when we are little kids, but often fail to view with realism when we grow up? What would happen to all those stinking 'sports' shoes, those dumb millionaires and their vacant wives? Where would the 'sports' bars find customers if those poor, demented folks suddenly got real and were to realise that they, as individual fans, didn't exist beyond a multi-coloured, banner-bearing, howling mass?

Anyway, as Buddy Holly sang:

"It's a weak man that cries
So I guess I'd best dry my eyes
Guess I will miss her more than any one
But it's too late - she's gone."

Too radical a thought, Les! Men must be men, and women supposedly glad for it.

(I have a sense that "street" photographers know how to go about doing that.)
When a piece of "street" flips the heat seeking switch in my brain, it always seems to come from a place where the "snapper" has existed that moment in a place between inhale and exhale, with heart about to pound, and certainly without the physical awareness of a "button" to push. They are at that moment on another plane. Don't have a skillset of practiced street photographers, but recognize those firing moments when I see them...and appreciate them. The real good ones almost catch me holding my breath as I view them~

Look at the headshots!

You don't know Kevin very well huh? I do and I'm here to tell ya, your perception of what Kev meant to say was about 180º off base.

Kev is a rooter...he roots for people, he roots for camera makers, printer makers, paper makers, ETC! He is enthusiastic about everything (he can't help himself) so when he hit on writing about women he took his 60+ year old perspective and write about women in photography. That's about all you should read into his writing...

It's too late to to change the title...can you forgive Kev's enthusiasm?

Jeff, I don't think anyone here questions Kevin's best intentions. But I quite agree with OP.

It's very much like modern feminists IMO do more harm than help to the once-noble cause. The quote that Slobodan brought up is a perfect summary.
