>If you think what makes your work interesting is form and “aesthetics”
Yes, I know. But people who think that only "narrative" can carry photos disgust me. Photojournalists with their minimally processed sterile jpegs make me want to puke. There must be a balance between content and form.

>any higher conceptual thought about WHAT you’re shooting and WHY,
Thing is all of those people act that taking snapshits is going to "save" whatever the fuck they're seething about. I don't have this much lack of world understanding and ego to believe in such horrible nonsense. Art is a leisure activity and fiction. It reference nothing but itself.

My main reasons for doing something are as simple as conveying a particular emotion that I have felt. I don't care about "social issues". I don't have any moral lessons to teach or activist bullshit to perform. If I am being honest my art can only entertain and that must be first and foremost goal of art. Is this okay? Now the problem is that most grants are for "social issues" so where is the space for artists like me?
