Photography. At it’s advent, you needed a giant camera and a subject who was willing to not move for about an hour. Now, every asshole with a telephone in their pocket and access to digital filters thinks they’re a professional photog.

Which is why it’s great to see things like the National Geographic Photo Contest — proving that there are such things good photos and bad photos, good photographers and bad photographers.

Plus you’re not a real photographer until you’ve looked a tiger in his eyes and snapped his portrait.
