OH, now I agree that some have earned their ego. But, BEING that "great" and
displaying it through ego is two different things. Rarely is someone who
displays an ego looked to with any kind of repect or admiration. Looking down
one's nose gives a very cross-eyed point of view! I probably shouldn't name
names, but I introduced myself to Martin Pothier (a GREAT photographer and image
printer in my opinion) and, as much as other artists at a show I was at stated
that he wouldn't give me the time of day; I found him to be very personable, he
talked about successes of shows and shooting for fine art photography and, all
in all, I really enjoyed his compay!

Subject: Re: [artshow_photo] Egoes in Photography
I've been in discussion groups and meetings of photography minded folks, and
the it always comes down to camera bodies, glass and other acoutrements. They
look at my work and ooh and ah over it until they find out that it was a 4
megapixel point n shoot that I used. Then I'm not part of the crowd anymore.
My Flickr images will stand up on their own. So I don't have the bux for the
latest and greatest.
Are there egos? You bet. Some even earned them.
