This was sent to me this morning and I had missed it. There's a lot that's already been written about her comment, but far be it from me to let it slide!
I'm going to give Marissa Mayer the benefit of the doubt and just chalk this up to one of those things that people say simply without thinking. Sort of like Dan Quayle quotes from twenty years ago: "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." "Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child." On the other hand, I'd like to expand her logic and suggest that good CEO's are a dime a dozen since everybody has financial and management responsibility for their own household!

That's what you get when the ignorant inflict their arrogance onto the unwary.

Wow! Amazing lack of intelligence and professionalism! Too bad she is able to command such a wide audience. As I think about our profession, one in which we have been a part of for 30+ years, I feel there is validity in creating some form of licensure via PPA and/or the state Professional Photographers' organizations. As an already degreed professional: CPP and Master Photographer, these are not enough. Since the general public doesn't understand these degrees and no matter how much we publicize and "teach" our marketing area about them, it doesn't register. Licensure would prohibit the amateurs from "hanging out a shingle" and calling themselves a professional thus bastardizing our profession. Just my thought. Leave a Reply. |
