Unfortunately, this picture will be the last shot by Pascal Riben...

Guys, move on. Who cares? Let him post what he wants to post- you don't have to ever click on it. Lets not make this another pissing contest.

I use a catheter. I lose.

It's well above my pay grade to determine whether Pascal is a spammer or not. I'm just pointing out a pattern.

Don't you get tired of having this same conversation all over the internet?


For exmaple:

It should be obvious by now that Mr Riben doesn't really care what anyone thinks of his images, isn't really interested in any kind of exchange, never comments on any images posted by others, and never really explains anything in his thinking or approach to photography.
A simple search will show that Mr Riben is and has been flooding this and other, multiple online photography forums with images, sometimes daily, i would assume as a means to drive hits for his various Web sites as a way to improve their ratings, likely for commercial purposes.
One can make one's own decisions about whether one wants to engage with this.
Some have chosen not to.

It seems you're not happy I didn't comment on your images...
I have commented on some images on dpreview. Last time yesterday.
People who post on dpreview are not allowed to post on others forums? Or people who post on others forums are not allowed to post on dpreview? Why are you concerned about this?
If you have chosen to ignore me, why are you concerned by my threads?
And why do you want to influence others to ignore me?
I do not remember trying to harm you, so I don't understand why you try to harm me.

more libel.

Does it not get tiring for you or suggest a pattern of bad behavior on your part? Or is it just everyone is out to get you? Or you just don't care because ultimately you get clicks to your site?

He loves digging in the garbage ... just to check that he is not alone ... :mrgreen:

Yeah...one of the single most-talented street shooters on this forum, on par with Tuna, and you guys want to run him off? WTF??? Pascal's photos are of very good quality. You ought to click on his links and actually look at and study his work. Maybe if you're lucky, some of his skill with a camera might rub off...or be absorbed, you know, through something like osmosis...

Oh, I have. And the work is quite good.

That's not the point at all.

I have not read many responses in this thread, but my assumption is that "some people" here want yet another cookie-cutter forum member whose posts fit some preconceived notion, and who "adds to the community" by discussing his work in some manner that fits the norm...rather than a guy who posts excellent work here consistently, and who is about "the pictures", more so than asking questions about how to operate his flash unit, or which 70-300 mm lens to buy--Canon or Tamron or Sigma? In other words, it seems some people have a real problem with an excellent photographer posting here, and showing us his photographs, and not spending enough time asking dumb, run-of-the mill,everyday, forum questions, and making forum posts attacking other people who have somewhat limited comprehension of photo technique...

I mean, are those the issues? That Pascal doesn't spend enough time here asking facile questions and asking others to help him research new gear? Are the outstanding photos he makes available here less good because they are on his hosted site?

Simply put, he's one of the most-talented shooters we have here. SO, I guess some people feel like we need to run him off, right? You know, because his presence here is not conformist enough? THis whole thing merits a serious "WTF is wrong with you people!"

 

[The_Traveler]

I don't think that's it.

Pascal posts small images here and is never ending in his goal to lure people somewhere else; that doesn't help the site any at all.

Tuna posts here and his work is here.
That helps the site.

And we definitely need more people who post threads asking for help picking out out just the right 70-300mm zoom, or the right Chinese-made $69 flash unit. yeah, we need a lot more uniformity. We must make sure every single person follows some preconceived ideas.

Who says anyone has to help the site? What does that even mean?

Figure it out for yourself.

Nice one. Vague answer that means nothing.

Preferably with some mesquite. Mmmm..
