Ken Rockwell: Advice from The Master

Our Photo Master, Ken Rockwell writes:

"Always look at someone's portfolio before you ask their opinion. If
the person spewing out advice hasn't made any great photos you ought to
ignore him."

Good idea, Master Ken.

OK, bad idea.

Next, Ken tells us that he and his wife are expecting their first
child.

"Baby boy on the way for December 2006. We're looking for name
suggestions, especially strong German, Norse, English, Irish, Scottish
or Viking names."

Well, I guess "Ansel" is out. How about Barnum, Rummy, or Finegan?
Yeah, that's the ticket!

Next, we get a sneak peek at our Photographic Master just being
himself:

Boy, I'm just glad that guy doesn't do car reviews as well.
What's that? Ohmygod! He DOES do car reviews!

Good god! His cheap camera logic doesn't apply to autos does it? No wonder
he wants donations : )

You seem to imply that just because someone creates a website and passes
himself/herself as an expert on a topic that person might not actually have
a clue what they are writing about?
Are you implying the same thing about people who post on this newsgroup?

Whoa! Is Ken's favorite technique to oversaturate the colors or what?

Yow! I thought you were joking with your fake Rockwells. The real things are
just as gross.

It's because, for a long time, a lot of people have cited KR as an authority
on various camera related topics. I think it's gone to his head...

Yeah, that pretty much happened to me on the topic of "awesomeness" a
couple of years ago.

Hello, Bret:

Hmmm, look at all the exotic European iron on that Web page (Mercedes,
BMW, Saab, etc.). Not an American vehicle in view; Ken Rockwell is
evidently a Commie rat! G

And here's another thing: If he can afford such expensive wheels, why
is he always begging for donations to his site? :-P


Cordially,
