If they could, they wouldn't be making photographs. Some that can do both are very rare, which holds true to any field of endeavour. But I think that the bombastic from the commercial writer, does more harm to the photographer than to the audience/readership. All too often, talking to novice photographers, I had to address their sense of intimidation they felt, when confronted by the braying of the commercial chorus, because they themselves couldn't articulate as well verbally what the content of their work is. Yeah, I have an in for the quasi academic, and the reams of their writings that fill our cultural trough. It doesn't mean that there aren't any good ones out there either.
