Is Zheng Zhongji a good photographer?

Tommy Oshima of Japan is undoubtedly a photographer. Tinyeyes' anonymous movies are considered to be comparable to Tommy Oshima (on flickr). Therefore, Zheng Zhongji should have a professional standard or talent to become a professional photographer.

2 professional circle vs social network voting

On the other hand, Tommy Oshima is very old, and his previous films were not recognized by professional circles/editors.

So he is actually a freelance photographer who is outside the mainstream judgment. It is Flickr's popularity that makes him a film festival, which is quite "professional".

Whether it is "art" or "good", in fact, it is ultimately a personal feeling. If it is judged, it is actually the "right to speak" of people. There used to be only professional circles/editors. Now there is more social filtering: Flickr can also spread Tommy Oshima or Zheng Zhongji's movies.

This shows that, similar to Twitter/wikileaks vs professional journalists/editors, Flickr is also grabbing some "right to speak" from professional circles.

3 Is it better or worse?

This change does not necessarily mean that the film is better, but it may be worse. (Li Ruyi said that like on Instagram will make you shoot worse. It seems so. )

However, there is no doubt that more people see what they want to see. (The public may have a bad taste. . . )
