Return it.

I believe thats what your mother asked to do at the hospital where you were born, but they said that if a baby starts to eat its own shit as early as you did that pretty much no one wants to adopt it and that she would be better off keeping it or throwing it out. As we see today, she opted not to throw you in the garbage. How unlucky for the world.

an excellent explanation for why they went for adoption with me. clearly the wiser choice.

But it does reinforce the meaninglessness of your life and thus all that comes from you, especially your words. And when people stop paying me for my photos Ill be sure to come to you for advice on what to do.

The "rook" is in the mail. Sometime next week hopefully. :]

What is it? 300mm f/2.8?

oooooooh burn. but seriously, good point. are you blind porchie?

[600#gorilla]

porchie is definitely not blind, ike.

overreliance on any one trick is a bad thing to begin with.

misunderstanding balance is another one. although, that foreground would make a great spot for a product or, maybe a table of contents?

also, thinking that getting paid is validation of ones photo talent might be misleading in certain circumstances.

look at me?

[Sundowner]

Thanks, tips!

[600#gorilla]

what tips?

[Sundowner]

Your professional photography tips in the last message. You might want to write a book about that or something. Everyone needs a mentor and maybe it'll just be easier if I get that from reading insight from the pros. Thanks again!

[600#gorilla]

lol.

as far as writing a book, i don't think i'll do that. i like candidly contributing to this forum instead.

if you don't want folks to react to your work, why do you post it?

if what you want is only positive feedback, perhaps you should only show your photos to your mom and to the folks that buy so many of your photos?

[Ikefromla]

i'd rather get paid as a one trick photog than my shitty ass dayjob. i can only assume that sundowner has a lot more variety in his portfolio than what he shares on this forum. if not, well he has room to grow. yay for self-improvement.

[600#gorilla]

uh, ike, i never got the impression that either your dayjob was all that shitty, or, that downsyndrome didn't have a dayjob.

i also don't get the impression that downies portfolio is any bigger - or varied - than what he posts here.

[ScreamingMedic]

I get that impression from his photostream, just sayin'.

Who said anything about not wanting people to react? And positive feedback? This is b.com you fucking retard. If I was worried about catching flack for my photos than I never would have come here. The difference between you and porchie is that he's just full of rage 24/7 and therefore EVERYTHING that come out of him is pure hate, but you, you try and pass yourself off as someone in the know, and its kind of sad considering how few photos you've posted and how few of them have really been any good. Remember, proper exposure is a must. Just because its beginner advice doesn't mean you shouldn't pay head to it. Just sayin'.

To be fair, you're all complete shit. And niceporch sucks. Now the healing can begin.

[600#gorilla]

yeah, you're probably right about me overexposing.

some of the photos i've posted here are even out of focus!

kinda hard to guess which photo you're commenting on, though.

however, i don't have to guess whether or not you are butthurt.

you do such a good job of expressing it yourself.

Exactly.

Wallowing in mediocrity is why Im here.
