The Shot

I’ve been watching “The Shot” on VH1, a pretty standard formula reality show about a group of budding photographers. I started watching it thinking it might be interesting since I like photography myself. Unfortunately, I think it suffers from not getting enough into the photography aspect, and focusing too much on the personalities of the individual photographers. Maybe chefs feel the same way about Top Chef, and fashion designers about Project Runway, but to me The Shot seems like like it’s dumbed down a bit too much. I know the photographers must be talking about lenses and techniques and all sorts of other interesting things that are ending up on the cutting room floor. How about leaving some of those in?

Then again, this is a reality show about photography, but sponsored by Vaseline. Maybe if Nikon or Canon was the main sponsor, the show would be a bit different.
