A cute, tongue-in-cheek commentary on how people hold their cameras these days.
expanding on this, it's not just an issue of how cameras are held. anybody can look like a photographer, whether it be the traditional khaki safari vest-wearing middle aged man to the artsy hipster wearing extra-skinny black jeans. it always comes down to substance. the manual can show you how to hold a camera, but it also used to show the user basic composition. the manual for the first camera i got back in 1994, the canon rebel eos, had a brief set of instructions on how to compose the image. however, the manual for the digital snapshot camera i got in 2005, the sony cyber-shot dsc-t30, does not. does this mean that photography and cameras are moving towards being a tool to just recording daily goings-on, rather than a tool to investigate and capture nuances of the same activities?
