Not trying to stir the pot of emotions here, but isn't photography about individualism and what you the photographer/artist want to create? Boy think of where art would be if all the painters just followed the same path? Art would be mundane and lifeless, certainly artist like Pablo Picasso is a good example of someone who experimented, who wasn't afraid of going against the grain. I think freedom and experimenting with your photograph is very important, otherwise you limit and cap your creative expression. There, that's my 2 cents!

AND FURTHER MORE DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

Isn't that the truth, during that time when Picasso lived, wasn't his art shunned?

Far from it! In a relatively short time, he became famous and sought after, and especially after WWI, he sold anything he made (painted, sculpted, pottery...)So much so, that he c ould simply sign his name to a piece of paper, and give it to a friend asking for a loan. Although what this has to do with the present topic is far from clear...
