You can be amazing at what you do, be it write, take pictures, make music, be an awesome cinematographer, hell even be an awesome lighting guy, but if you're quiet and don't shove what you do down everyones throat, no one cares. No one gives a papayas about your trade if you're modest. You have to be noisy, you have to be an obnoxious loud twat who spends way more time talking about what they do than they spend doing what they do. People don't care about quality, they care about the idiot running their mouth. Rather than look for real professionals, people find the loudest voice, and go 'Oh he says a lot he must know what he's doing!'. The people who are doing are way too busy to run their mouths, so they're always going to be overlooked. That's really frustrating. As a damn good engineer and someone who knows some amazing photographers who aren't noisy, it appleses me off seeing myself, and them getting dismissed because we're busy doing, and not running our mouths.
