You thought about it for **two years**, got up at **4AM** ... ... and that is the best you could do? Don't give up the day job. We're waiting for your inspirational examples ... oh, it's TP blabbering, nothing inspiring and certainly no examples. You know, for the number of years TP has been pretending to be a photographer he could have actually gone out and learned enough to at least take one image that would have silenced some of his critics. Just the fact that he hasn't makes me believe that he just isn't capable of it. |

Even Ansel Adams couldn't silence you lot; none of you can recognise a good photo, let alone take one. The SI has done us a great service; it has revealed the "critics" as a group of no-hopers who cannot even master a simple brief - or any brief, as the latest "backlit" group of dire, amateurish crap demonstrates. When shots aren't even backlit, it indicates a level of ignorance that is truly profound. I find it amusing that, as the level of incompetence of the snapshooters becomes ever clearer, the mandates become less and less demanding, and yet those taking part still cannot even begin to address them. The funniest thing of all is reading the comments on each SI posted here. I suppose that, when no-one can even master the brief, I should expect that no-one can provide competent critique. But the comments are even more risible than the pathetic snaps that are submitted with total seriousness but prove only that no-one even cared to think what the mandate meant. As someone who has attended meetings at many photo clubs, I have never seen such a collection of incompetent nonsense as the SI has brought together. Congratulations guys! ;-) |

He was shooting 50 rolls per average *week* and he mistakenly posted the wrong images. He really meant to post good stuff, but screwed up. It's hard managing some 1800 images per average *week* you know Bill, so give him a break already. Cheers, Alan -- "I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist.

Congratulations guys! ;-) This coming from one who has resolutely refused to show any of his own work. TP, I've tolerated your drivel, and the occasional insight for several years, both here and at rpe.35mm. But you've crossed a line here. You deride images with a broad brush, my own included, yet you have never allowed anyone to see, criticize or even praise your own images. You are either afraid to have your work seen, and possibly criticized, which makes you a coward, or you've never produced anything worth showing, which makes you a liar. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |
