Of course that was an overstatement. I understand your confusion though, since it might be I seemed to make a mini-rant there.
I still think that photography is an art form that's over-infested with people with no skill, or at least I can't filter it out the same way I can avoid amateur writing for example.
I think the point here might be the same that's has been said before in this thread, too. Having great equipment doesn't make you a great photographer. I don't have a problem with people shooting photos for their own enjoyment, I just feel the (art) photography field has more amateurs producing meaningless pieces of work than any other field of culture.
