I think the comments from Saurabh Deoras are also right on the money. People seem to have lost the ability to evaluate almost everything from an objective viewpoint. It seems to be more about hype and rhetoric rather than substance. This is a great commentary! I think the comments from Saurabh Deoras are also right on the money.

It always seems that the winners of any fine art photography competition are photographs of depressed-looking people in depressing rooms looking depressed. The “Beauty is cliché” item is spot-on.

I see it as failure of education to provide people with judgement criteria with which to evaluate art. It's not just in photography that the basis for evaluation is so amiss. It's an issue of lack of platform. This is funny and sad. I see it as failure of education to provide people with judgement criteria with which to evaluate art.

Very early on in my photographic adventures I had a professor of photography tell me that my work wasn't as good as his first semester students who had just begun. This was after 10 years of photography, graduating from two schools of photography, teaching it in the military and working as a freelance photojournalist for 2 years. The reason I wasn't good? My work wasn't esoteric enough. I've now been photographing for over half a century and was recently told much the same by another art professor. At times I want to declare a pox on the art world.

Guy, do I detect a touch, maybe just a little, of sarcasm? ;) I couldn't have said it better myself, a great read and fitting since I just entered some photo contests (luckily their rules weren't too condescending or from a stance of ignorance).
