Photographer = intellectual?

[Mike H.]

... the popular "mental baggage" (stereotypes?) of photographers - particularly LF photographers - is that they're highly intellectual. ...

Personally? I'm flattered!

when my old fiction writing professor found out i was a photographer, he rolled his eyes and said, 'god, the only thing worse than a room full of bridge players is room full of photographers.'

never been in a room full of bridge players, but i think i know what he means.

Never been in either myself, but I imagine it must be very similar to being in a room full of golf players too.
