The OFFICIAL amolitor is dumb and his blog sucks thread

Andrew it is!
my mother always HATED when people shortened formal names....
I guess it carried over, because i REALLY wanted to name my son Alexander (my middle name) but i KNEW that everyone would just call him Alex, despite our wishes. so...we didnt name him Alexander.

now that i am finished hijacking your blog thread with name pet peeves...

I actually thought the blog was set up well. its concise, neatly arranged, and well written. the fact that there are few pictures is merely testament to the fact that it is a blog, and not a photography portfolio. the background is very plain and simple, and keeps me directed to the place where the main interest actually should be....the blog itself, and what is written there. the side links are also undramatic, and lend themselves to a simplistic approach that makes the page itself very easy to navigate. there are no huge, slow loading graphics, sparkly backgrounds, cluttered link spaces, or fancy moving objects. this makes the blog extremely attractive in the fact that I can get to the page, easily find where I am on it and where I want to go on it. I spend less time hunting down links and excerpts, and more time reading whatever was posted. if simplicity and functionality is an art, Amolitors blog is a masterpiece.

So, pixmedic, what did Andrew pay you? Just wondering, I could use some more cash...

I assume pixmedic just spent another 90 hours straight patching up GSWs, which is why he's gone insane and COMPLETELY HIJACKED this thread. Talk about missing the point

just giving C&C like I would on any photo or web page when asked. (I assumed that was Amolitors intent secondary to the page hits)
any allegations of impropriety on amoliters part are completely unfounded and untrue.

Well, I'm trying to figure out if I can shake down Andrew for good will, or pocket change, or a significant deposit on a mega-yacht. :mrgreen:

Because my totally objective opinion can be influenced.

Also, Andrew, I'll have you know that my rates for psychoanalysis are second to none, with emphasis on the none.

I have a three-year-old and another on the way, so you can probably make some pretty good guesses about my available cash..

got home today 0700 from a 36 hour shift. no GSW's, but we DID have to do a terminal clean on our stretcher TWICE where patients had voided their bowels. I really would have preferred GSW's...
in all honesty though, when a patient has rectal bleeding so bad that they bleed through 3 sheets, 2 cloth chucks, and our fiber stretcher sheet in the time it takes to drive 1.5 miles to the hospital, they are definitely in need of medical attention for a serious GI bleed.

Hey I have a three-year-old with another in the wife's tummy as well!

Congrats!

ah, "good will" then.

By the way, your poll is inexact. One of the options needs an exclamation mark.

Well Andrew, here's to your blog, and to your poll, and to this post!!!

Rectal bleeding is awesome.

I knew you where a true artist.

I see the poll options include "yes" and "yes".

Well, heck, at the risk of sounding sycophantic, I am going to offer one vote in favor of Andrew, both here and his blog.

I suppose I should "qualify" my opinion by admitting that I like most posters here, including (gasp!) cgipson1.

I know, I know, that in and of itself makes all my remarks rather suspect, but WTH, if it weren't for these and other poster's sterling insights on photography, life, and the human condition, I might never hope to progress beyond the primordial ooze.

I say thanks, Andrew, for your insightful critiques of photographs and photographers.
