Don't post pictures of your own kids

Oh crap, does the Star Wars date the photo? Damn! LOL>

And that's actually where Boom has a point - if people are going to defend their photos so vehemently, why bother submitting them for C&C at all?

Unfortunately, that point was not Boom's point. His suggestion was that people stop all together, not that they bone up and take it when it comes to pics of their kids.

Had he made a statement closer to yours, then he would have gotten more credit in here I think.

Oh YEAH!

I can't seem to get EXIF data on this one...

Seems alittle oof plus have your subjects wear something other that faded t-shirts with pictures. Remember no posting of kid's picture unless over-the-top cuteness is present.
Sorry Im feeling squirrelly today.

You are missing the point... I don't mind seeing them. My point is, I don't like critiquing them... it just feels wrong.

Then don't critique them. Problem solved. Get over yourself.

That's true. He also said that he doesn't like it when people post them because he feels bad about commenting on them, to which I propose a simple solution: don't comment on them. Let the rest of us take care of it. :mrgreen:

You're going to have to explain what right or wrong has to do with being a d-bag?

No, I don't... You have taken it upon yourself to justify my douschbagery... I could care less about your opinion of me. What I do care about is if you agree with me or not.... Do you believe that people will give the same unbiased critique towards a picture of someone's child as they would a rock? And do you believe that a photographer will be able recieve critique just as well with a rock as they would their child?

You were being sharply critical of something you yourself were doing not so long ago, and acted like everyone should stop doing such, just because YOU supposedly learned it?

Again, it appears as though you are agreeing with me. If so, I fail to understand why you are using my past to devalidate something you agree with.

The fact that you stopped posting pics of your kids only shows you learned you can't handle it, not that you learned anything by it.

You are right... I can't handle it. It hurts me to have my son criticized, is that wrong of me? And in response, I have a hard time criticizing other's children. Bottom line... even if you can handle it, even if you can look past it all... you aren't going to get the honesty you are looking for.

LMAO, well, it's not my subject it's me! The shirt was new. Prolly the lighting and the 35mm camera that makes it look faded remember it's 1977 or there abouts. Cuteness?? This is the Epitome of Cuteness! Ha Ha Ha.

Isnt that model from "Moon 1" tv series. I can remember the actual name but I'll pull out my starlog mags and see if I can find it. Star Trek rules:thumbup:

I like the watermark on the top.

 

[Fangman]

I expect that others walk into the same problem I have - looking at images (in my case grandchildren) as a photographer - following rules possibly with thoughts of enlarging to suit club competition and the shots wives and grandmothers expect recording the occasion - getting spoken to severely when I have cropped out, desaturated, blurred etc. what I considered distracting backgrounds.

I won't get the honesty from you, but trust me, I'm there's plenty of people here who will have no problem telling me what's wrong with pics of my kids.

And I'm not agreeing with you. I agree that people should bone up and take it if they ask for it, which is NOT what you said...where did I say people should stop posting pics of their kids? really, show me if you're going to persist...but don't take credit for something you did not bring up really...

Also, people aren't being critical of your kid if they're judging a pic with your kid in it...get over yourself...the world don't revolve around you, or your kid. (Or my kid, and I wouldn't expect it to)
