I collected a lot of photography last cycle It isn’t dead, it’s just illiquid like most art I get why it’s not for everyone But honestly, in this space in particular, you are missing out not connecting with that swath of artists Some of my best people I’ve ever met tbh /1

If my inability to sell the pictures for profit is the cost of the friends I made from plugging in to that world, it’s worth it @benskaarx was at my wedding @braybraywoowoo & @chelseamealo took my engagement pictures @dave_krugman is one of my favorite people on earth /2

Go party with photographers one time, hear their stories and inspirations You’ll quickly see how silly this conversation is & I think you’ll also grow to appreciate their body of work more Even if this adrenaline-filled, hyper-capitalistic corner of the world fails to do so
