Noons, please ask your headshrinker to post an article here explaining why you
behave as you do. I think we'll be inclined to make allowances for your
appalling attitude if we become convinced that it isn't really your fault.

He's quite the piece of work, isn't he?

And when was it that you ever did that, moron?


I guess you haven't been following this thread. Do try to keep up.

It's exactly proportional to the crap that comes back from the dirthole you and
the others here live in.
Don't want to be abused? Here's a simple hint, arsehole: DO NOT START IT.
It's a two-way street and NOTHING you can do will change it. Capice?
In case you haven't noticed, NO ONE promoted you or anyone else here to "bwana".

Yes, ****wit. And guess what: there is NOTHING you and the other f...tards here
can do to make it any better for your little "club".

Si, capisco. But surely you meant to say "capisce"?

: In case you haven't noticed, NO ONE promoted you or anyone else here to "bwana".

"Bwana" just means "sir". (Perhaps your Swahili is a trifle weak, but there's
no shame in that. In the Outback you may never have even heard of Swahili. The
deplorably crude state of your English is a larger concern, but we'll let that
pass.) So please consider yourself promoted to "bwana".

Both are rare, but albinos have pink feet, bills, and eyes.

I was lucky enough to hear about one in my town this week. Naturally,
I got the shot.

Nice picture, but it may be time for the FANTASTIC 5D3! Or the
DELICIOUS D800!

Well, I'm not sure I'd go that far. Bret obviously has natural artistic
ability, but it's also clear that he's worked hard to make himself a good
photographer. Hard work may not be enough - probably it isn't enough - but
it's a necessary component. Just as it is for, say, a good musician.

Aw c'mon! Just get along with the stupid, mindless fawning like everyone else!
Who cares if the image is not in focus where it is important? What, you wanna
get all technical now all, of a sudden? You, communist!

OK, maybe it's just me, but the picture of Ruth Snyder's electrocution
was not in focus, but it is the stronger for it. Some people think
Avedon hung the moon, others call him a whore. I think Capa was more
into the image, rather than (prissy) focus.

A-

I see the reason there are so few participants in this NG. Too many
horses asses, and too few horses.

On June 6, 1944 Capa was more into not getting a bullet in the ass than
either image or focus. Since only 11 of the 109 images he shot that day
survived, albeit in a damaged condition due to high developing/drying
temperatures, All he could say was they were slightly out of focus.
He captured the image, but focus was left in a Life Magazine lab in London.

His 1936 "Death of a Loyalist Soldier" was all instant capture with no
thought with regard to composition or focus. Just the instant captured.
Consider his "Lost negatives".

His work in Indo-China was a little more planned and somewhat focused,
so much so his last roll of 35mm, shot before he stepped on the mine
that killed him, was downright ordinary.
This was his last frame, after shooting this shot his next step
triggered the mine.
