Breaking The Limitations of Photography

jovince3000 · Apr 28, 2015

@Josh100LuBu While all of this (massively out of proportion joke) is fun to me, I think this has become way out of proportion. Even though I'm fairly new, as a member of this forum and this community, my question to you is ;

Are you genuinely interested to converse about photography as an art, no matter the creative choice of the individual, to help the community and its people to grow and thrive as photographers in their craft, style and techniques and in return, receive the same, fair treatment?

OR

Are you here only to promote your own "talents" and are not open to receive critiques by the member of this community.

If your answer to the first question is yes, then please revise your way of acting and if you do, I'm pretty sure I can talk for everyone here, that people will welcome you as a member of this community. Right now with the way you've acted in the previous thread and this one, I can only regard you as a selfish, attention-fishing asshole. You may report me if you want, moderator are free to punish what I just said as I entirely assume it. But I will not apologize as that is genuinely what my first impression is of you and I'm sure it is the same for most people here. If you are ready to understand what caused it and to change it, I will then be pleased to address apologies in due time and truly welcome you.

If you are not willing to change your way of acting with us, or if you answered yes to the second question. Now I have no right to force you or anything, but as a member of this community, I'm asking you to leave as you do not have your place here.

OK. It's settled. The OP is the best damned photographer in the entire cosmos, and the rest of us are insecure and not worthy of critiquing him.

I noticed at the bottom of the page, there's a "similar threads" entry from 2009, entitled "Breaking Down the Walls of Predictability", by former member benjikan. That thread might bear viewing in light of how this one is playing out. Breaking Down the Walls of Predictability Photography Forum

Oh, but we'll learn the error of our ways. Just imagine - all this time, we thought underexposure and noise and overcooked, outdated effects were undesirable in an image, but now we can see the light! Or the lack thereof!

First of all, you requested me to leave so I will decline that request because it isn't an order. Secondly, i'm not obliged to answer those questions at all but for the sake of this debate I will answer them directly. I am here to change the perceptions of the vanilla photographer, i'm here to usher in a new age of photography. This community needs a good face-lift and nobody else seems to be doing it. I am passionate about this and I want a positive change here in the community that would benefit a whole new category of artists who perhaps don't have the thick skin to publish their work on here like I have in fear of ridicule. Whilst you may love the traditions of old most up and coming artists really don't value it as much as the older guys, that is the truth and changing the way the system works would draw more people in. I go out protesting in real life, I am heavily involved in the truth movements in Britain and believe me this is a worthy cause for concern. Change with the times or the times will leave you in the dust.

if your bio is correct you're 19 or 20? That would explain how naive you are. Or maybe you're just trolling, who knows.

Either way, the worst part of this thread (which is truly bad) is that there is 10 pages of people responding to your tomfoolery, but amazing photography on here gets 2-3 pages of discussion max.

Are you serious? Your mission here is to re-eduate us? Teach us all YOUR vision, and expect us all to blindly follow?

Forget it. Ain't gonna happen.

But please keep posting. I love the entertainment value. We all need a good laugh.

Blindly follow? Being ignorant is a choice.

Given the choice, then........ I prefer to be ignorant.

Well, he does choose to be ignorant of copyright law.

what's your reason then?

jovince3000 · Apr 28, 2015

Thanks for your answer. I can now affirm with certainty.

You're an ... (sorry, moderator who edited this. Jov')

Now, I didn't expect to have to learn how to use it that fast, but I will proceed to use the ignore function. It was fun at the beginning but honestly now I've grew bored of this. I hope one day you get yourself straight and realize you're just a human being as good as the next one. I still won't wish you arm, but I think in your case a good punch in the face might help a lot. Lead a good life.

No, it wasn't. When it is time for you to leave, one of the moderating staff will point it out.

Fine, but do it politely and with respect for the other members!

Passion is fine, but again, respect for others, please.
