...did you even read the post I left? I retracted my statements on everything which commented on the business aspect of her work. So half of your post has been invalidated right there.
What would put me into a position to make the comments that I have Pete?
I understand that my work is not the greatest, nor did I claim that it was, but I have also only been shooting seriously for 4 months, during which I have also balanced school, work and friends.

Sure, Jack... I read your post. But it's not as simple as "...I would like to retract all statements made about..." not after you see the effect your words had. When we go too far with our words, it's takes a bit more than, "Never mind." How is my post invalid? By your proclamation?

Well... for most of your comments... the ones I cited... Nothing. Nothing I know of is suitable credentials to say those sorts of things to another... to treat someone like that, whether publicly or privately. As for your statement, "What you do is not professional... ," that can only come from someone who has a genuine understanding of the market. Shooting candid weddings is one of the toughest things to take on. No matter how much planning you do, you are walking into a situation that's ever changing... the lighting, the environment, even your subject... and all on demand. Time is always of the essence. It often requires an instant summation of all the prevailing influences and an on-the-spot decision of what happens now... and next. All this takes place while monitoring all of your equipment and employees, and dealing with the emotions and psyche of the couple, their families and friends, the minister and caterer... and it all has to happen now, and it all has to be good.

Your work if fine. I can see you're developing a good understanding of lighting. But four months of experience in most anything is just starting out. Be patient. I started much like you, only I was getting the results you do as quickly. Believe me... ten years from now you'll think of your first couple of years as novice work.

i see now! thank you for pointing this out pete. she's allowed to criticize other peoples work but we arent allowed to criticize hers. the ONLY reason this is such a big deal is because she's making it out to be.
For the record, my pictures don't suck, they are "half assed".
ive tried telling her that. i even pm'd her once when things started getting out of hand telling her to calm down.i see now! thank you for pointing this out pete. she's allowed to criticize other peoples work but we arent allowed to criticize hers. the ONLY reason this is such a big deal is because she's making it out to be.
Well, ya got me there.
To Cindy: You really do need to bring this down a few notches...let this go. Common.... deep breath...

Also would you preface your post with an explaination of why you did things a little differently? Or let it ride with no explaination at all.
I'm definately not a victim. And I'm sorry you see it that way. I'd like to see how you handle someone telling you really mean things about you, both professionally, and personally.

her response to me was calling another member in idiot and then continuing the drama on the thread even though a moderator had said to stop so then the thread ended up getting locked.

No, Pierre... it's "half fast." Shoot at ISO 400 and then we can call it "fast."
