Nothing wrong with either, but (as you probably know), there are some big differences there that lead to a different view on life. Just to throw out some stereotypes, many landscape photogs are a little more left wing, and sports photogs, tend more towards the right wing bunch. Plus, photographer is very subjective and creative, and those that participate in it (me included), are never satisfied, and looking over their shoulder (in my opinion). Many have different personality types, careers, nationalities, skill levels, subjects, etc. But anyone can pick up a camera, purchase the best technology, take pictures and post on these forums. The good photographers and long time pro's are usually good folks.
THUMPER TALK FULL
I am a semi-pro, and will be a full time pro in the next few months. Personally, I am closer in age to the 50 crowd. But they are happy to ride with someone in their 20's and treat them like family. I know some guys in their 50's that ride 7 days a week and can kick about anyones butt. If you are a beginner or a expert enduro rider, it takes the same skill set to some degree. To ride dirt bikes and be serious about it, it takes some money, some skill, a bit of toughness (crashing, nasty trails, rain, snow, mud, river crossings, rocks), and a desire to have fun. We had our first Moab ride many moons ago, and people from all over the country got together, and were instantly buddies over beers within an hour. They are mostly in it to have fun and tell stories. Now THAT is a story!įirst, I have found dirt bikers to be a great bunch. But I still have the original WR400 sitting in the garage that started it all. I don't own it or have anything to do with it any more.
