AND I never said the link should be taken down. I SAID they were funny. I was just trying to give another point of view. Apparantly you are just so bored you are looking for a fight over the internet.

If it helps...he does support professionalism...from another thread.

Telling someone to STFU is not very professional. If you're trying to 'go pro', start acting like it.

I guess telling people to quit pissing on a parade that they created to mock ameteurs is entirely more professional....and here I thought the pro's worked mid day...sorta like I am right now. I guess pro photog's have a lot of down time....

ChristopherCoy: All you do is come here and try to start **** claiming you're a professional. You're a PET photographer. Get over yourself. BTW: I checked out your website and your images aren't exactly stunning. Several aren't exposed properly and there's even one out of focus.

Sure...if that's what you do while you're professionally not meeting with clients in the middle of the day.

Hello pot! I'm Kettle!

I've never made claim to be a professional photographer, or demanded professionalism while ignoring it myself. My line of work is different, I often have time to have a web browser running while I'm getting paid to run print presses for hours.

Oh. Ok then. Good on you for calling me out then!

Thank you, it was just happenstance that I caught this thread after I exited the other.

Good for you for making it so easy to take you to the shed.

1. How have you all, yet AGAIN, managed to turn a humorous post into an argument insulting each other?

2. What's wrong with pet photography? Photography is photography... and if he finds that there's a lucrative nitch in his area for pet photography... then why not?

3. ::clear throat:: BAHAHAHA! Yessssssssss! Another blog to follow on Tumblr!!!! :sillysmi:

4.

She didn't specifically call me out obviously but as a new photographer and someone whose goal is to have a small business doing portrait work I hate feeling that judged by people. If you don't like it, don't look at it.

No matter *what* you do, *someone* is always going to judge you for being a "new" photographer. And even when you get to the point where you might be able to start making a little money from it, there were will be more people *still* judging you for *that*. And there are *always* people that are going to judge your work, no matter *what* level you're on. You either have to learn to ignore it and live with it... or find another profession to pursue.

I think some have made it into a hobby these days.. certainly seems to be awfully common here as of late

Except this one actually started by flaming people for a laugh....so it's not that far of a stretch that it would end with the same yeah?

The problem is too many people turn into whiners when the barrel's pointed at them.

Haha this is getting good.

I'm not whining. Hell, I'm not even remotely pissed yet.
