all i see are pretty crappy party pics
do you even own a camera thats not digi? because the 995 is a pretty shitty cam even for digital purposes...that doesnt really matter since no real photographers use digital cameras that are under 5-10g...you can get better quality from a 2 thousand dollar slr
don't discuss my work, you know nothing about it
did you even go to school for photo? maybe your portfolio is better i dont know but your club pictures are horrible I think PP was just being nice when she told you that she thought you were good. |
LOL! Now calm down there buddy... be nice! Even your beloved Party Princess doesnt think its right to make judgements based on appearances. (read her post above in case u forgot already). Ah, the
timeless classic of a 'fat joke'... don't matter to me, cuz comments like that just make u look bad. If you'd like to continue to bash me on my religious background (Jewish), age, or what size show I wear, go right ahead- those are all up your alley.
I also find it so amusing how you have suddenly become the expert on what qualifies a photographer, considering there are NO RULES to being one. Photography is just one of those fields. People who've never taken a course in photography are working as photographers, and there are no credentials required or bar exams to pass to qualify yourself as one. And to make a comment that only real photographers use cameras worth $5-10K is ridiculous. There are so many out there in the field that work with cheaper, and sometimes 30 yr old cameras. If u wanna break the 'bad news' to all those people that they're not 'real photographers', u can go knock yourself out. None of my photography teachers ever owned current or expensive equipment, and their pictures were beautiful. I have a friend whose never gone to college or music school, yet he writes music, and owns several successful businesses- does that mean he isn't REALLY a musician or businessman?
In short, to answer your questions, I have spent many years studying photography, spent the past 11 years working in the field, and own MUCH more expensive camera equipmant. When I take pics at a club, I'm also there to have a good time. No one pays me to be there, I do it for the people. I spend my money on my equipment. If some club wants to put me on their payroll and shell out a few thousand for a Canon EOS 1D for me, I won't turn it down. Until again, I'm not gonna lug my Hassleblad and set of White Lightnings to the Guv with me and risk losing or damaging them, just to prove to you I'm a 'real photographer'.
I never said I was the best club photographer either. I see many people who don't even know what an aperture is, take great shots. But when I do see a good shot, I always contact them to compliment them and to discuss how they achieved it, in order to improve on mine. Of course no one can comment about your images (or your appearance), as no one has seen a single one.
