Who is Brian C. Ledbetter?

What I lack in looks, I make up for in wit.
I hope.
I am not a photojournalist. I'm not even a journalist. I have not attended a single day of J-School. I'm barely even an amateur photographer. Frankly, I think those are perfect qualifications for a cantankerously self-proclaimed "photojournalism critic."

My past has, on the contrary, centered around Computer Science. I've developed software. I've been a consultant. I've done web design. The one thread common to all aspects of my professional life is that common sense and logic must apply consistently to all situations. As a result, I've grown increasingly accustomed to questioning the images and scenarios presented by the media over the years. This constant questioning has led me to finally take a stand, and start documenting the media's mistakes—although, "mistakes" is much too soft a word to describe exactly what they've been getting away with for so long.

I am always open to new ideas, to new viewpoints. Feel free to let me know what you think, any time. I promise that I will read it, at the least.
