Illustrating brings me much more peace than creating photos or filmmaking. The latter two feel more like work than creating art, especially when a production crew is involved. That and “everyone is a photographer” so success has become purely privilege/nepotism based.

is it the purple bolt thing? thought i had one but maybe someone took it away because i talked shit about fc lol 

and the above is more referencing marketing resources/job pool. if someone only shoots with an iphone but has the financial resources to not have a real job, travel around the world, work for free, doesn't pay their own rent, etc. they have many legs up on the actual photographer who has to make ends meet, work a real job, not have time or money to travel, doesn't have the best equipment, can't spend all day networking/socializing, yada yada. easier for camera phone users to refer to themselves as a "photographer" than an "artist" but also their brains aren't built like yours and mine where we see artistry as anything. self-proclaiming as an artist isn't getting anyone photographic freelance work without showing photography and/or accepting low/free rates though regardless lol

homie, you could argue "anyone is an artist". calling yourself an artist is much easier than calling yourself a photographer imo! you need a camera, shoebox, or phone to be photographer, you dont need anything (ie tools) to call yourself an artist (ie i am a performance artist doing stupid shit).  but i c your point for sure. the entire SYSTEM is privilege/nepotism based!! i see we both dont have powerbadges, lmao!! or are you hiding yours?
