You can put me in a worse mood, or can you cheer me up. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39606335 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39603262 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39564836 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39585347 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39569610 18+ I personally like these, but too pissed off and depressed. Thanks in advance, Jorge Nov 06 15 05:42 pm Link Hey Jorge, I like them. Why are you pissed off and depressed? You have a strong style - do you really care much what Internet strangers think? But I must say that #3 is my least favorite. Never mind, my style is different than yours. LOL Mark Nov 06 15 06:15 pm Link Mark Salo wrote: Pissed off and depressed because the shutter broke.

Then you should label them as "Broken shutter #1" etc. and classify them as fine art. Nov 06 15 06:47 pm Link Jorge Kreimer wrote: Good news is, the shutter can be fixed! Grab the back up camera, send the broken one in to be fixed, and within a few months you'll have your cam again! Nov 06 15 06:51 pm Link Agreed it SUCKS being a camera down, like a missing a limb till,, ya get it back... I always like your work... Nov 06 15 08:43 pm Link Which camera? Nov 06 15 09:08 pm Link I guess Pentax D645... Nov 06 15 09:24 pm Link R.EYE.R wrote: Jorge was telling me about his D645Z ....just the other day. That's a big shutter...Maybe some Duct Tape or Super Glue...lol Nov 06 15 09:27 pm Link Sending it to authorised repair centre would be ideal. This is another reason I prefer MFDB... Sorry, not intending to add salt to the wound. Hope you get it sorted sooner rather than later. Nov 06 15 09:43 pm Link Horrible news. Medium format Pentax shutters--about a thousand dollars from what I saw on the net. Nov 06 15 09:57 pm Link Jorge Kreimer wrote: They are all fantastic creations. I'll be inspired to shoot high key nudes next time I shoot in the studio. I particularly like the ones you have transformed into monochrome.

It broke during a shoot yesterday. Nov 07 15 10:26 am Link Stephoto Photography wrote: What do you mean, in a few months? Nov 07 15 10:27 am Link E H wrote: Yeah, I feel like a eunuch, at the moment.

Nov 07 15 10:30 am Link Might pay to go to the Ricoh/Pentax site and hit their live support chat person up for a pre-paid return stamp which might include the insurance too: http://ricohchat.tosystems.com/open.htm If you're really nice they may send you a box with the stamp in it too, but it takes longer too. Fwiw, I thought C.R.I.S in Chandler, AZ used to be their warranty site, but I see they moved it to Precision Camera in Connecticut so it might be a while in transit. Don't even think about a back-order from Japan for a shutter (months!). Too bad Pentax pulled their factory-owned service center out of Englewood, Colorado (Still remember the address as 35 Inverness Road too, damhik!) after the Ricoh takeover. Also, clean it up real good so they won't try and pull a "Visible abuse is seen. Warranty denied." stunt either as their 645 repairs start close to $500 otherwise. Good luck! Nov 07 15 11:08 am Link I like them all. The blown exposure The fragmented body composition The feel of the clean nude with the clean background reminds me a little of the art of Oleg Dou They are interesting as a series, keep going. Nov 07 15 11:23 am Link I like #3 best. It reminds me a bit of Veronica Lake, film star of the 40s with a very distinctive hair style. Nov 07 15 04:25 pm Link I'm not one to blow smoke up people's asses for the sake of it Jorge and have been known to offend some members by offering an honest opinion. But I must say I've always admired of your work mate, imho, you're one of the few truly talented and creative souls left in these forums. To paraphrase a previous quote of yours, "not all of your children can be winners". This is true, however, when I view your new work. I can usually see that you've tried a new creative angle or technique in your creations. I don't hang out in here all too often these days, for I have trouble dealing with some of the baseless "professional" and "expert" opinions, along with the countless lynchings that come with them. Anyhoo, I still enjoy checking out your work and wish to offer my sympathies to you regarding your busted shutter. Good to hear it's still under warranty though, I hope they get it back to you better than new 😄 All the best. Nov 07 15 05:14 pm Link Thank you, guys for the kind words. I just got back to town, and will call them tomorrow. Nov 09 15 03:46 pm Link Jorge Kreimer wrote: Fingers crossed! Nov 10 15 04:34 am Link |
Still under warranty, though.
