“What do you think about Instagram photographers? They do not make real work. They are high on themselves throughout the number a provides them (likes, followers). Focusing more on cranking their colors, shooting open roads/sunsets, taking really predictable photos and insuring social media applause than creating any kind of real ever-lasting work. They are part of an uncharted feed of bullshit that is forgotten as soon as the thumb is at the bottom of the feed. However, some of them are so cocky it is amazing. I am not saying I don’t respect them as people — there are some good dudes and chicks that are to the bone solid people — but their work I have no respect for because it’s gutless. I am guilty of contributing to social media, of course, but I try to separate it a bit and focus on making — or at least trying something tangible and repsectuful to the people who I respect.” - Cole Barash w/ What Youth
