If web cam-shots count as "photography", then yes, terrible..
Of all the people I know snapping artsy photos for their fb and such, I only count one of them (that would be about one in fifty or so) as
a photographer. Not only artsy fartsy objects up close and such (which he does very well indeed!) - but the more awkward approaches: random people. Tons of people photograph models, and that bores me, but I always like random-people portraits, especially if the photographer has en eye for "characters"
Photography, to me, seems very intimidating. It is an art that is so desceptively easy - aim and click - and therefore the standards are so enormously high in comparison (something all the fb-photographers seem oblivious about
)
I've wanted to snap good photos though, but again, the standards daunt me, and I imagine nothing but top-toppity-top notch equipment to even begin to get wanted results (especially with weather pics)
One day the sky was entirely orange, like a movie effect, I ran for my cellphone cam, took 3-4 pics, all of them showed the same idiotic blue sky with a yellow sun in the middle, as if the phone just went "nono, i got it from memory, sun, sky, i seen it a thousand times", crap phone cam...
