One of my faves, but I'm not sure about posting here anymore

[bennielou]

I'm so confused!

Here is a quick rundown. I am a girl who does photos. I post photos on this site. Swettylens hates said photos and has said so. I tried to open up Swettylens world and turned him on to a few other websites. Then I got the stalker messages. I forwarded the messages to that website (not this one) and he was kicked off as far as I know. I don't keep up with him. I don't care. IMO, he is a talented photog who spends WAY too much time worrying about other people. He has no business, but he tells everyone else how to do theirs. He's a stalker who wont let go. And a person gets tired of that.
By the way, I have more photos to post before I got sidetracked once again by this dude. On more than one website. I'm just going to ignore him now and post photos.

Ok so let's get back to pitchurs. I like that. The cat's out of the bag and this may go down on the list of memorable TPF fights...in case no one has that list, we should start one. :hugs:

To be FAIR...

When you started this thread with:

You might have noticed that I took a break for a while. I was busy working, but I was also dealing with a troll/stalker. I tried to help this person, honest to God, who I felt was in a place to go further, and I tried to intoduce this person to other venues. Wow, was I sorry. After that "wonderful" experience I was ready to just say "F it". Especially when this person told me that they would spend the rest of their lives critiquing me. Really? WTF? This person was going to tell me how I was doing this all wrong. Mind you, this person hasn't a pot to piss in photography wise, and is trying hard to make a few bucks. And they are going to advise me? I don't get it. But what ever. Tell me how I'm doing it all wrong.....

My first thought was, "Why on Earth are you telling us that?"

Posting *that* is 1. asking for him to comment since you *know* he's an active user on this site and 2. a bit dramatic.

You could have totally just posted "These are a few of my favorites from a recent wedding I shot!" and left it at that.

In this case, in my opinion, the "drama" in this thread was totally self-inflicted.

But who am I?

::shrugs::

BITTER! WHEN ARE YOU GETTING HERE WITH YOUR KIT-TAY?!

BECUSE he told me he would. He told me that he would trash every post I made from here on out. So I was worried. I was worried about what this person would say. I felt that I had to warn people that I was already made aware that no matter what I posted it would be trashed. I'd already been told so.
A bit dramatic? You deal with this dude and tell me. Apparently a few members have. Ask them about it.

No fights really. I don't care about this person. It matters zero in my life.

Well I'm glad I know you are a girl and I'm not confused anymore. Well...maybe we leave it that I know you are a girl...the confused part might be permanent.

Let me ask why it even matters what ANYONE has to say? Do you feel good about yourself, your workmanship? (womanship, ok)


Just post your shots and take the good and the bad and do what you will with it. Drama checked at the door please.


As Admin of the LARGEST performance truck website in the world, with over 100,000 members and a daily active membership that dwarfs this site I am honestly shocked by the immaturity I find here, on occasion. The kids, yes, average age is 23, on the other site behave in a much more orderly and respectful manner of others. Is it Photographers in general that are pissy whiners? I don't think so yet I see it repeated here over and over again. Hell, I am about as silly and immature as a man can be and yet I am still amazed at the drama here...


OK, carry on then!

 

[bennielou]

Ummm....this is nearly the same comment I made about Schwettylens earlier today with his posts in The Girls of TPF forum. The posts just seem a bit stalkerish to me, but what do I know? If the shoe fits...

That's what I'm saying. Sometimes it's completely wrong. Not everyone gets his "love" but believe me, he spreads it out, and it's creepy beyond all creepy, Call it dramatic if you want, but send him YOUR addy and see how well you sleep. I've heard nothing but scary crap about this guy and his ego.

Competition and jealously take their tolls; can't be avoided from time to time. I do find though that the overwhelming majority who post on this site are seriously reaching to become better. No slackers on this site at all, and I applaud that.

Drama... schrama. While your style isn't mine Bennie, I think you do some great work, and I very much doubt that you have too many unhappy clients.

I'm with you on that one. I'm done with this thread, but I'm glad my instincts were confirmed. Shall we carry on now?

How about my Cowboys?!

I find him harmless and quite funny actually I guess we have a similar sense of humor, I'm not taking anything he says to heart.

That being said he has never threatened me lol.
