worst fauxtographer ever?

I think C&C is fine because when I post soemething up on here I want the C&C no matter how bad it is.

I have been to sites that do things like this and the site is just a big crapfest of bashing anything and everything. nothing is learned, nothing is gained and its just a bunch of people trying to crap on other peoples work to be cool. Id just hate to see this site take that same path.

diffrent people like diffrent things, should i start making fun of people profile pictuers because i feel that they have poor taste in clothing? I have peole here at work who have pictures of there kids printed out on a black and white copier paper hanging on there boards at work. not everyone wants high end photos and not everyone chooses to spend a lot of money on photos.

And I really hope this site doesn't start posting all these sites of poor photographers to riducle them. that would just be seriously low class.

Buddy.... SPELL CHECK!!! (And you have been doing much better, btw!)

Sorry, tired, havn't been sleeping well and wasn't paying attention.

I think it's wrong to post a link like that when the person at that link is not a member so they can participate in the discussion.

There can be no doubt, there are a lot of potential buyers in that market segment. In any market segment, it's buyer beware.

Agreed. If this person posted her images here then it is 'fair game' so to speak. But to seek out her images/website for the sole purpose of making fun of her is mean spirited, ugly, and hurtful.

I really do not understand why members of this forum get so much pleasure by demeaning or bullying others. As artists we should be here to critique, encourage, and inspire each other. Instead this forum can only provide hurtful non helpful opinions.

yea.. you're right... we NEVER offer assistance or HELP anyone at all, right?

Artists? Hmmmm.....

So would you consider the individual this post is about about an "ARTIST" ?

If I purchased a $2 burger from mcdonalds, i would STILL expect it to be cooked properly, even if it wasnt a $10 burger.

I actually have much lower expectations at McDonalds. If I purchase a $10 burger at a sit-down restaurant, I expect it to be excellent, whereas in Micky-D's I'm happy to get approximately what I ordered.

Charlie you really are the king of starting sh*t aren't you now. I just love how you feel the need to put words into peoples mouths. Of course, helpful advice is given here. But I see far more negative remarks. Not even critique, just mean words. Does it make you feel like a big strong man with a huge d*ck for writing on a strangers fb page how her photo is the worst one you have ever seen? I hope so, then at least something good was accomplished by that.

and yeah, you don't have to be good, to be an artist do you? I didn't realize there was a test you had to pass....

well, I can honestly say that after reading this thread and some of the varying opinions here, many different than my own, I have seen how narrow a view I have taken on other people's work that I consider "bad". And I apologize for that. I shall henceforth seek to broaden my interpretation of "art", and attempt to displace my own hurtful opinions and replace them with notions of helpfulness and goodwill towards fellow photographers.

Funny you mention that. A certain mod went on a bipolar rant last year to a member about their avatar picture making a racist comment and belittling their clothing style. Anyways....

I agree with lafoto- if someone is in business, charging money and is marketing themselves, then yes- they should be open for criticism.

Very commendable, pixmedic! Applause!

wow... no need to get upset! I was asking a simple question! Would you consider that individual an Artist? Period!

I find your other comments rude, and rather inappropriate.... especially since you don't know me! As far as my critiquing someone, somewhere.. possibly it will spur them into finding out why I said what I said, and they will seek to improve!

But I admit I doubt it.. so many MWAC "wanna be" PROS don't really want to improve or learn.... it seems endemic!

I'm sure there are enough memebers on here that have facebook accounts that we can go on each others pages and rip each other to shreds if that's what people are wanting.

I have to go with Corinna on this one...

Charlie's a sucker for the ladies(skilled) with a camera lol.

Well, feel free to come to my Facebook site.
It's just that mine's for Friends Only - if this person had this advertisment open for all "Public", they just run a great risk. Even that of having someone say the photos are the worst he's ever seen. Sorry, but that's Facebook for you - and that's the internet for you, with all the chances to link to other sites and all that.

you are correct. I do not know you. But I do know who you perceive to be via this internet forum is a bully towards those who do things or see things different than you.

I also think the MWAC comment is a slap in the face to any female photographers with children. I would say there is (and always has been) an epidemic of PEOPLE who have cameras and don't know how to use them...probably since the invention of photography. Or at least since the sale of cameras to the general public.

Have at it.. my FB is linked in my SIG! The thing is... that people that know photography, and know me... will discount untrue negativity. The others... well, I don't really mind what they think!

Usually when I make negative comments... there is a reason, and it is usually very obvious!
