Ok so from my iPhone I am asking all you people one question, and if anyone has an educated answer I would love to hear it.
If we are so god damn elitist than why the hell do you want to get credentials and be on the sidelines with us? Do you secretly want to be elitist\'s just like the rest of us. If you don\'t than shut your yap and stop refering to us as elitist\'s because no matter how much you think we re, we\'re not.
Actually, I\'d rather not have to endure elitist photogs on the sidelines. But since those elitist photogs also have credentials, then they have a right be there. I, and other photogs, just tolerate those elitist photogs. I am there to shoot the event...not to play buddy and kiss up to elitist photogs.
Actually in all the time I\'ve covered pro sports I don\'t think I\'ve ever encountered an elitist photographer...a few A-holes here and there...but never an elitist Even then I don\'t feel that I have to \"tolerate\" them because in all cases they\'re doing their job and I\'m doing mine so no problems.
Just because someone won\'t take the time to answer your questions or be buddies with you doesn\'t make them elitist. On the other hand I\'ve never had problems talking to or introducing myself to the other pros at events. And if happen to not respond in a friendly manner, I simply move on and never really think twice about it. I surely don\'t spend my time railing against elitist pros.
