Controversial?

Perhaps Bitter does not see a big difference (experience) between age 16 & your present age Chevy.

I am of the opinion that folk in your age group learn much faster than the old farts.

I'd say from the age of 16 to the age of 22 is a very large age gap. I've progressed a long way since then and had professional training and critisism by some of England's most acclaimed photographers.

I find that very patronising and degrading just because he's twice my age and thinks he's my superior. I'd rather listen to Mark Lebon.

Laf. I used to think that too & I suspect, so did Bitter.

ChevyBaby · Nov 13, 2010

he's no idea what i've been through in my life to make me grow and how it's inspired my work. 6 years of intense education has taught me everything you guys talk about in this forum and more so how am i inferior?

The only thing that's different is my training has been focused mainly on analogue cameras up until now when ive started showing an interest in digital which uses entirely different methods but as far as this particular thread is concerned, he shouldn't have been judging that.

I am laughing at your attitude, in this and other threads.

I am not claiming any supiority. I still consider myself a beginner. I have a longer history in art, than I do photography.

Carry on.

so what professional training did you receive?

and we must know about these acclaimed photogs from England who personally critiqued your work.

inquiring minds want to know!?

My attitude? Well i feel slightly bullied.. i'm one of the most timid people you'd ever meet - maybe typed words come across differently than how im speaking?

i'd say im a beginner, hense i'm in this forum rather than the other forum, but i just got the impression you was tryna patronise me, i have a longer history in my baking techniques than photography but i'm still ok at what i do.

and chito i already said mark lebon is one of my lecturers, which i feel very proud and priviledged to say. i've also met with the creator of Kilamanjaro magazine and Eileen Perrier (who is awesome, loved her!)

Derrel, that became exactly my viewpoint, i thought the whole concept was odd and that was exactly what they are saying - but if thats true why is my reply from chito so harsh?

Giving away a few prints will not hurt you one iota, will it help you probably not. does it help others probably so.

To me it just shows your character as a human being.

Some things you do because they are the right thing to do.

True point, but even with budget cuts the MET is not an underfunded orphanage or animal shelter.

The Met waste money like you wouldn't believe, my partner went down to London to help the Met with the tube bombings she was put up in a 5 star hotel, people went from all over the country the bill went into the £ millions just on hotel bills, they wouldn't get my shots for free

You are 100% correct those why went to help in that tragic event should have been put up in tents and given bologna sandwiches!

How dare they take care of those who helped! :grumpy:
