Wiki Post and Reflections.

My paper topic was "Should you go to school for photography in this digital age." What was conflicting to me about this is when I went on wikipedia I found only pages that consisted of photography or pages consisting of only the history of schooling but nothing that had to deal with photography and college in one direct portion. I was scared of writing this because although Elise and I previously discussed this paper... The Idea of a Wiki Page, didn't fit because there is honestly no source of information on this other then photographers who have gone to school for photography and have other opportunities then those who do not attend college but then you have those people such as Franey Miller who basically gave the finger to higher education and began to immediately just marketing herself to these business's that she now shoots for essentially saying... Hey I'm New you can like me or not like me it doesn't bother me I just love photography. She is really preaching right there because for someone to be able to go to this market and say haha I didn't get an education but I am getting the same jobs you are is a big ridiculous and I find it harder for me for getting the formal education to outshine someone who has access to the same information as I do on the internet and then have to compete for a job that I wanted to go to college for. As 30-40 years ago before the internet skyrockets people actually had to go be classically trained in photography or you weren't getting anywhere. I think the digital age has changed how people view photography and ultimately do  photography. I honestly believe you should go to college for photography... sure because you are learning not only how to photograph but you are learning the history and theory of photography as well as how to market yourself and how to shine in this industry. There is so many sides to this degree that maybe 50% of it is actually taking photo's while the other 50% is learning the culture, history, techniques, and what ever else there is. Do I believe the photography programs in college today are outdated.. well no because black and white and color film photography are still widely used by many professional photographers while an equal part of them do digital as I explained in the article the process's of how you ultimately get your final image are almost the same as far as capturing or developing/transfering images or printing/editing or printing and uploading. I previously spoke with someone in Wikipedia before I attempted this assignment and they basically told me flat out that I would not be published but it was worth a shot and to do so anyways and not because of being biased because I really tried to be neutral on the subject but because of notoriety. He said it was a thoughtful topic and he was interested to see what would come of it. I did include sources but I wasn't entirely to sure how to cite in the page it self even after reading the tutorial so pardon me on
that part.

UPDATE: My Wiki Was Denied. I was essentially accused of being Biased and My reviewer said that it read more like an essay rather then a Wiki Page. I understand that as I have never written a wikipedia page and never will again but also its funny they hold themselves at such a high standard but most high schools or higher education wont recognize them as a credible source of information because it really is P2P or peer to peer.
