worst fauxtographer ever?

[paigew]

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.

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!

yeah, it is obvious. you enjoy belittling others.

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 improve!

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

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.

Let me rephrase that.. MWAC PRO! Is that better? All those MWACS that have hung out shingles, and charge for bad photography! Does that provide enough separation for you? (Oh.. and I didn't invent the term... I just find it appropriate!)

I even edited my post above to make you happy!

Hey, will I have to close this thread any time soon now?
Is it getting out of hand?

I still think it is extremely sexist seeing as how plenty of men are charging for sub par photography too.

I think this thread should be closed. And should have been after post 1. Is this what this forum is for? Finding 'bad' photographers and talking crap about them? Why do I not see any PHOTOS being posted anymore? And when photos are posted, hardly anyone comments on them.

There are PLENTY of photos posted on this forum every day. Just not in the Photographic Discussions... this section is for Photographic Discussions.

 

[paigew]

you are right, there are. So how about we comment on those photos.....

You just can't go wrong with half-naked women.

I've seen numerous new threads with photos. But a couple, at least, were started by new members who have demonstrated hostility, rudeness, and generally immature behaviour recently, and I had to wonder if the low number of replies reflected a reluctance to further engage the OP.

And the photos were pretty bad, too, imo.

I had planned on posting up a shot today but didn't get it uploaded, so it will have to wait for tomorror

I'm a J(ock)WAC, it may seem sexist but not really. For example, not too long ago there was thread about a guy stealing from 37 photographers. My only guess is that it seems more women buying cameras is because they buy it for family outings, receive praise and want to start a business. But I know they're others scenarios out there.

The term MWAC was created in response to a social phenomena.... in which large numbers of women who bought cameras to photograph their children, discovered AUTO and Ambient "NATURAL" Light.. and decided they were good enough after two weeks or 4 months, or a year or so... to claim to be professionals. There was a huge surge in these numbers (primarily female to start with... and yes, then the GWACS started coming on.. when they figured they might as well try to get some of those idiot dollars too!)

[TD="class: text, colspan: 2"] Mom With A Camera. Member of the skyrocketing group of amateurs-turned-wannabe-pros who start part-time photography businesses shooting mostly children and babies, who make a living by undercutting real pros. They can do this b/c their spouses have supporting jobs, and because photography has become easy to do on a basic level because everything, from click to print, is so easy to do now.
