Time shapes your images - so yes social mesia does shape people - I have been taking photos since 1976 and I approach photographery as such - Leica is an also ran Contax and Rollei produce the most interesting cameras - but Pentax is king. Fuji chrome is still the new film and Kodachrome and old triX are go to stock. Shooting at below f5.6 isa last resort and bokeh was not even a word and Russian lenses are crap - they still are even if aocial media says different.
