Everything is Terrible found a couple of cringeworthy photography instructional videos from decades ago.

“When you have a client with a problem such as prominent teeth or teeth with a wide space in the front, just encourage them to relax,” says photographer Joy Henry. “She’s lovely at this distance smiling, but I certainly wouldn’t shoot [her] at a close range.”

The photographer Sator has created quite a buzz with his article “Why Sonys Full Frame Pro Mirrorless Was a Fatal Mistake.” I thought long and hard about whether I should response to this or not. I think there are many things omitted in his analysis and I want to point out some of those points.
