I'm not going to pretend that when I first read the article named Who Me? that I understood it in its entirety. I found it particularly hard to read for the first few paragraphs mainly down to, what I would say is, an overuse of jargon and found myself having to re-read them again and again, and again. By the end of the article I had grasped that what the author was trying to say- basically that people are becoming more and more used to taking their own photo in a way that probably isn't conventionally or particularly well thought out, but they seem to be enjoying doing so. I get a feeling that the writer is trying to say that she isn't a fan of the whole holding the camera/phone in front of myself and taking a photo kind of photography and that she much prefers pieces which have had more thought about composition put into them. Unfortunately though this is something that we are all seeing more and more often. I having read the article several times I am starting to appreciate the piece a little more but I do feel that she could have introduced her point much sooner and put forward a stronger argument rather than using overly complicated field specific lexis.
