Rant: I Love Photography | Raw File Editor’s Note: This blog post was originally posted by PhotoShelter CEO and founder Allen Murayabashi on the PhotoShelter blog. Murayabashi was kind enough to share it with Raw File readers. It might sound strange to use the verb “Love” in the title of a rant. But here goes. I love photography. Why am I telling you this? There is a percentage of photographers who hate photography. They hate Getty, Corbis, the AP, day rates, photo editors, assistants, rental houses, camera stores, point-and-shoots, iPads, zoom lenses, padded camera straps, wheeled suitcases, younger photographers, older photographers.

Cosplayers Photographed At Their Homes Is Kinda Weird We’re all used to seeing people dressed up at conventions, but taking those cosplayers out of the con and putting them into their homes makes them look a bit surreal. That’s the beauty of these images by photographer Klaus Pilcher titled “Just The Two Of Us.” Who hasn’t had the desire just to be someone else for awhile?
