Being a Professional Photographer is a lot easier than you think!

<p>Satire yes but I do actually know 'women' like that who aren't into satire!</p>

[goldbergbarry]

<p>or not. Watched the first episode and did not find this even a little but funny.</p>

[Spearhead]

<p>I agree with Barry. If you are going to look for something funny on youtube, try the<a href="

You Suck at Photoshop </a>series, you can even learn quite a bit if you are relatively unskilled at Photoshop.</p>

[jgalyon]

Then you must not have the "sense of humor" gene, Barry...

I always wondered what happened to Boxxy when she grew up.

[William Kahn]

<p>About 30 seconds was all I could take.</p>

<p>(Boxxy grew up? Really?)</p>

reeeaaallly</a>? Be careful <a href="

you ask for</a>.</p>

[lex_jenkins]

<p>Also, semi-sorta-seriously, <a href="

is Catie in a recent video</a> chattering about the Boxxy character. I'm hoping she'll pursue acting because she's hilarious, at least as internet trolls go.</p>

[lex_jenkins]

<p>Oh, lordie... why did I LOL at "I am a lifestyle photographer"?</p>

<p>P mode = Parody.<br>

B mode = Blurry. They go all blurry.</p>

[Spearhead]

<p>I think this is only funny if one enjoys ridiculing naive people. It doesn't do much else.</p>

<p>I've never known or worked with a professional photographer who would speak like this. They've either been helpful or kept quiet, but never humiliated someone for being naive.</p>

[daverhaas]

<p>It's close enough to the truth for a lot of MWC and DWC that it really isn't that funny. </p>

<p>Kind of like Belushi doing Joe Cocker on SNL in the 70's - it was so dead on that it was like okay - you can do a good Joe Cocker. </p>

<p>And yes, there are people that really believe everything that she is saying and that really act like her - I've ran into them many times.</p>

<p>So...she is naive and rather talks silly imo. BUT she probably appeal to many, many more, say, soccer moms than I ever will. If she does shoot decently, she'll be a okay. Pro Photography is all about marketing to one's market...and she seems to appeal to her target audiences rather well. </p>

<p>Now...it would be pretty freaking hilarious if one would imagine her doing NGO shoots, say, in Cambodia. But appealing to white suburban well to do soccer moms, and doing family portraitures...She probably does A-OK.</p>

[Lou_Meluso]

<p>I suppose ignorance is bliss, but Leslie does have a point. There are a number of ladies I know who actually make fairly successful photographs of people yet have no real technical knowledge as a foundation. While guys obsess over gear, women seem to understand naturally the importance of people touching and capturing naturalness. Modern cameras have allowed greater separation of the technical and the intuitive side of picture making which gave access to women who, formerly, were put off by technical issues. Give her a couple of classes, books and a workshop or two, and I'd bet her development would sky rocket past many guys muttering about the "IQ" of their lenses.</p>

[jgalyon]

<p>what i can't figure out is what percentage of those who have commented thus far understand that this is satire. </p>

[bebu_lamar]

<p>Now that's a real PRO! I guess she made money taking pictures.</p>

[JDMvW]

<p>I'm with Lex on this one.</p>

[Spearhead]

<blockquote>

<p>this is satire.</p>

<p>The fact that it's satire doesn't mean it's funny. Satire doesn't work when it's about humiliation.</p>

[jgalyon]

<p>that's not my point, Jeff. i was merely pointing out that it sounds as though some who have responded don't understand that this is satire. but thanks for your insightful and helpful input...though it had nothing to do with the question i had in mind, i know that in reading you wise words... i feel like i've grown as a person.</p>

[Mike Howard]

<p>lol, now that's some satire.</p>

<p>I think it's pretty darn funny...and reminiscent of any of a hundred threads on this very website.</p>

[stp]

<p>Hilarious combination of parody and satire.</p>

[jgalyon]

<p>michael, it can't possibly be funny when it's about humiliation. jeff said so.</p>

[Mike Howard]

<p>I wonder how many billion Internet Dollars Boxxy has made over the years. I second Lex, she needs to be seen, she is truly funny.</p>

[jgalyon]

<p>oh god. someone else thinks it's funny too! we are all most certainly going straight to hell...</p>

[AlanKlein]

<p>I use "P" all the time. So glad she confirmed that 's what it stands for. All those people who say "Programmed" - phooey! I'm a "Pro"!</p>
