I know. I've done some weddings. I'll pass.

My point was that no-one should look down his nose at wedding
photographers much more than at ANY pro photographer. Wedding guys are
higher on the food chain than Zoneheads who take time exposures of
water running over rocks (John Sexton, for example). His is
mind-numbing crap, not even worth the paper it's printed on.

And of course wedding guys are above music video directors and
stylists, who must be the scum of the earth.

Take heart, there's always someone below you. Go watch some music
videos and revel in your superiority.
