Yeah right. The last thing I need is a poster print of the Alamo over
my fireplace - taken with a Sigma?!!?

^^^ Site cannot be found. Rather similar to your brain Preddy.

This is not Preddy - a totally different guy (or doll).

This one even cross posts.

It might very well be him. The IP points to a server in Texas, just like
George and Georgette Preddy.

Well, isn't this interesting. The link above is actually the same one below
(missionphoto). The little girl in both galleries appears to be the same.

Compare these two (open them in separate browser windows)

http://www.pbase.com/imageprocessing (Preddy's, as we know)

and

http://www.pbase.com/missionphoto

There's a hyperlink in that one.

Conclusions?

Considering your first posting on the subject (follow link below), we
are undewhelmed with the result.

OTOH it is head and shoulders above anything ever seen posted by TP.

Alan,

While I can understand what you are trying to say, and why, I do not
believe that not posting pictures - in the context of an equipment NG -
is in itself a valid reason for criticism. I very much doubt, for
example, that you have ever seen a picture of mine, since I only do
prints and have never posted anything on the web. Whilst it is something
I mean to get around to when I have time, and I feel slightly remiss for
my lack of energy, I don't think such a failure devalues anyone's
contributions.

I mention this mainly to minimise the risk that anyone will be put off
asking for, or giving, help here just because they have no gallery.

Regards,

David

PS - I cut down the number of cross postings - no point in expressing my
views in places I never inhabit!

I don't disagree in principle with you David. However you are
polite, urbane, modest, intelligent and probably handsome too.
The reason I (and others) hone in on TP is that he is such a rude
and critical asshole, that the Americanisms "All hat, no cattle"
and "He talks the talk, but does he walk the walk" come directly
into the foreground.

The reason he backlashes at me is simply because I steadfastly
will not let him off the hook. This makes me a target for him.

Because he takes such a position, his credentials do indeed bear
examination. The only credential that counts here is
photographs. So we await indication of his ability.

And we await, more patiently, your posts too. Join the SI, even
with archive material...

Cheers,
Alan

I wasn't trying to get in a private cat-fight, or even deny your right
to have one! I simply wanted to reduce the risk that newer members would
be put off contributing in case they thought that publication of
pictures was a pre-requisite :-)

PS, thanks for your kind comments. I'll see what my wife thinks about
the handsome, though!

The funny thing is, if you buy one of his pics of the Alamo, you don't
have a pic of the Alamo.

This "guy" does not exist. He never did.
He is just another lame invention from the misguided mind of the person who
invented, and posts as, "George Preddy" and other similar sock puppets.
