Wow, it's amazing to me that this got upvoted: The second are what I call "lifestyle artists". These are people who aren't really artists but are simply attracted to the lifestyle. They socialize with other "artists", are often "hangers on" to true artists and write blog posts like these. They're the kids in the playground who pick on the unpopular kids just to affirm their social status among the "popular" kids. Apparently you've taken a single blog post of mine about photography, extrapolated an entire (fictional) life history from it, and then extracted an ad hominem from that. Do you understand how senseless and insecure that comes off as? Just to clue you in a bit on how backwards this whole assesment is... I'm a rubyist who thinks python is quite nice, and really enjoyed picking up Java this year (though its verbosity does get tiresome) and Flex (though the flash runtime is a joke, but we all know that). Also, I can afford nice cameras, just got an X100 earlier this year, so I'm certainly not jealous of your income. Lastly, I wasn't picking on you in school, I was one of the kids being picked on myself and befriending the other kids in the same boat. Yes, that was me with the other kids in Anime club who played Magic, and no, there was no hipster irony to it at that time.
