Judge Joe Brown for the win!

oh wow....:meh:

The judgement might have been right (I don't know), but for none of the reasons given. The whole thing went way off track and and really proved nothing except Joe Brown fancies himself a qualified photography critic.

This.

What I got out of this video was a background of Judge's photography experience.

Granted, the photog had a BAD attitude, she was barely allowed 2 words, I'd have probably been annoyed, too.

I think the bottom line is the prints could have been better if they didn't come from Walmart. I wouldn't have expected much better for $1300 as far as a technical aspect. I'd be curious to see the portfolio of this photog.

*shrug* I don't know who should have won this or whatever, but I feel like the photog wasn't even given a chance. Neither the plaintiff or the defendant got to speak their part as much as they should. Why can't someone do professional photos with an Xti?

That's basically what I got from the judge. Extremely biased opinions on the equipment and the photog. So now the brides walking away with more money than she was asking for? Isn't this the kind of things people report to the bar?

Doesn't really matter, the photog does not pay the damages out of pocket, the show does. Those in the show are asked to drop their actual lawsuits to settle it on the show. The judgement is taken out of what the loser is being paid to be on the show ie. if the photog was being paid $5000 to be on the show they walked away with $2500.
In this way the "judge" can be as biased as the viewers can stand.

Shows like that just kind of make me sick, lol.

Guess that comes from being married to a husband in law enforcement and constantly hearing about what the law actually is.

There's nothing saying someone can't shoot a wedding with an xTi, but I think he was trying to say was blah blah blah, real photographers should be using better quality, etc, etc. At the end of the day, the client should have known exactly what she was getting into. You don't really have the right to get all pissy about things if you don't research them. If she wanted someone who had better quality cameras, knew the specs on their lenses... She's kind of to blame for not doing her homework.

So we have a guy pretending to be a judge slamming an amature for pretending to be a professional.....



Ahhh... Only in "America" (Well, really just the United States, but we like to pretend we're all of it...)

just have to remember its a tv show. usually the one who gives the judge attitude is the one he goes after.
