so you think this place is disfunctional of the dysfunctional?

OK ...I'll admit it, I'm a dysfunctional basement dwelling, bedsheet shooting hack of a photographer. Thanks for all the great posts, which I always read, but seldom reply to. I always understood the image posted in the replies were a professional courtesy/sign of respect.

My lastest play session, trying to get the hang of continuous lighting.

Who gives a rats ass about your pet peeves after you acted like a child in dealing with Rolando in open forum yesterday! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If you post a critique, and you know what your talking about, it is often apparent by what is stated and how it is stated.

I have never put a picture in a portfolio on here, but do intend to someday.
Just because you can post pictures on line, that does not make you a "photographer". That makes you a "poster".
I believe this site should be about quality, rather than quantity, but it is obvious that we disagree on that point. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

somebodies got his knickers in a twist!

have a nice day!!!

Until you post a quality image, then your comments about anothers work is just your hot air traveling down your arms into your useless finger tips. no one will take you serious until you PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!

Have a nice day!!

Bet that made you happy....you already milked it for 2 more post ...and I am sure there will be more to come.

Lets analyze a few things, you are the second highest "poster" of all times on the baord. The top 15 are listed on the main page. You have doubled, tripled or quadrupled most of the top 15 posters and you have been registered for less than one year. All of them have been registered for significantly longer and most for a few years. Rolando is the owner and you have blown his number away.

What are you trying to prove, accomplish or overcompensate for?

Do you see this as maybe a form of advertisement for you, if you can be the all time high poster, people will think you must really be a good photographer?

Baffle them with bull****, maybe they will think you are a relly good photographer!
A large volume of your post are apparent that you have nothing intelligent to add and are only checking your tally.

Is this how you will run your business? Is it all going to be with Smoke and Mirrors? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think your business card / comp card looks like crap!
It is cluttered! Less is more! Most of the wording is smoke and mirrors b.s.!
Kiss- Keep it simple stupid.
As a design element...I think you have way too much trapped space in between text in various places on the comp card, but what do I know I never posted a picture on GG.

You got this reaction from me, because for a second day in a row, you acted like a child. You posted about a pet peeve for basically a non poster to critique an image. You are basically putting someone down or labeling them, when you have little or no information about them. You can't afford to do that...I have seen a lot of your photography. If the critique, makes sense, you should probably listen.

I offered you a suggestion the other day when you asked for help wiht PS.
Yes, you need to learn more about photoshop. I put in there for you to contact me directly, as I have some videos about learning photoshop that I was going to send to you. In about 20 minutes you could learn enough about photoshop to at least make your images "pop". Instead, because you are "Mr. Poster", you think you can only learn from a few high posters. Your photography is below average. The good news is a lot of below average photographers make a living. Most people in the general public can't tell a great image from an average one.

I am done with this issue! I will not address it again. As I have already broken my motto! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

From the GG Forum Guidelines...

10. When posting critiques, be firm, be professional, be polite--use tact. Distasteful, nasty, belittling posts will not be tolerated. The "Golden Rule" applies here, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." When critiquing, don't just provide problems, provide solutions and sound advice along with any references. Improvement comes from constructive criticism, not destructive criticism. When critiquing, or being critical of someone's work, you must post an IMAGE of your work as a courtesy to the person being critiqued..

This is why you should post an image along with a critique on GG.

Since you choose to critique, or rather trash, something of Don's... See 'Rule 10' above.

Bluegrass,

About your motto. Why are you arguing?
