I'm really into photography. It used to be marked as a a male thing in the very old days but nowadays men and women use cameras equally. Yet speaking of profesional photography, there're still more men in the business. Have a great weekend guys!
Good point. Photography was really geared toward the male gender in the past, but I think women are starting to break through that mold and becoming high paid photographers. In a society, where people are used to seeing women in front of the camera instead of behind it, I can see where you are coming from when you say the business is mostly populated with males.
I love photography, too, but am a total amateur. Do you want to make it a career? I totally agree that photography once was a very male business but now many more women are involved. What role do you think language has in the discourse community of pro photographers? I think lots of jargon is thrown around (photogs, technical terms, etc.) Jen
