Nice to see the Travler banned. Not trying to be mean, but many of his posts were nothing more than bashing without any for of constructivness to them.

Oh, and street photography is just that. Pure raw emotion. Some happy, some really really sad. I love street photos. But as I said before; just make sure you talk to these folks and offer a couple bucks. Thier lives suck and many of them suffer from mental illness, that's why their on the street. Not because they're lazy or criminals. Always give back.

This was one great read! An amazing image was posted, exploitation, handicaps, homelessness and a bunch of other bs was thrown in the loop and a ban was issued! What else do you want from a forum! hahahaha

Great image once again!!!

If I had to guess, I would say he is only on a free vacation, courtesy of a mod . Most likely a couple day ban, maybe 1 month. Just a guess though.

 

[yioties]

He has a lot of posts, so that might be the case!

I agree, as a matter of fact, let’s go and ban everyone here that has ever disagreed, bantered, made non constructive posts, made posts off topic, posted spam, and bashed.

how it should have ended:

The_Traveler:

"for those who were unsure as to the differences with my style:

my pictures tend to be less focused on the way the person looked. I try to avoid up close pictures that make the subject the center of attraction. They're usually, in fact, a small part of it. the pictures tend to focus on an action taking place that combine the subject with the photographer's vision and less on the way they look to achieve the desired impact.

that is part of what i see in the power of street photography. catching that moment when something happens that is interesting and intriguing. In this sense, it provides an experience beyond general portraiture. If I took this photo, the question I might ask myself is; if this man was my son or brother or father and he was having a really rough time with life and looked like hell, would I take his picture and put it on the Internet? the answer is a difficult one because what makes art ART is that it is emotionally provocative, whether it be positive or negative emotion. If something fills you with anger, it still means that as a piece of art, it has done it's job. but it's also important to remember that everything in life is a matter of perception. while i may view this as an unhappy homeless man, it could be someone that, over time, you've developed a relationship with, which seems more the likely since you make a point of mentioning he's a nice man that lives downtown.

it's less my style, but it takes all types and that's what makes the world go round. just my two cents. thanks for sharing!"




when you read it the right way, it's actually quite educational! I, for one, learned something today! for anyone who doesn't know the reference 'how it should have ended', youtube it. look to your left. look to your right. if there's someone there, HUGGGG :hug::.

First of all, Lew knows what he is saying when he is saying it, he has been the same for years. He doesn't need someone to reword and PC his crap.
And second, TL;DR.

Well I could sure use someone to reword and PC my crap. I wonder what sort of job title I should write into the advert.. hmm.. lol

Wow.. I step out for a while and Lew gets banned? Dang. I guess were going to need a new curmudgeon while we're at it.

I still wanted to see more of the good critique on the OP's photo. Wondering how BW would look.

Lol.. well I'm guessing that their will be some form of application process, probably a background check, drug test.. the whole 9.. lol

As for C&C, I don't do that anymore myself. Would be interesting to see a B&W version though.

Yep, you NEED to pass the drug test, by pass, I obviously mean test positive!

When I first clicked on this thread I thought it was a picture of Brett Favre. Then after reading the replies I wished I hadn't clicked on this thread in the first place. But this quote came to mind

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven…” – Luke 6:37 -
