Thats a real sweeping generalization. By your logic, a "real" photogapher cannot supplement his income by talking about photography equipment...lol. Does that make sense to you?
I don't know where you live, but in certain places people need money to eat, pay rent, you know buy things. I am sure all the photographers you know are wealthy and live in huge estates, but the ones I know are not as lucky. They need other jobs to put food on the table because most people in today's economy don't have disposable income to buy artwork. So instead of working at Walmart or being a waiter, he decided to supplement his income by writing about something he knows about, photography gear.
