I don't care if you shoot with an orange juice can that has a pinhole in it or are a rich dentist with a lieca. It is about the images.

GWQT100 or GWKD

Oooh! Thanks to you, I've finally found my schtick!

Do you think I should absolutely stick with a national brand, such as Minute Maid, or would I be safe using a store-brand?

I just don't get it, The photos are clean enough but all look like you read the Time Life instructional guide to photography.

You could shoot so much better if you loosened up.

Okay, we have not done this in a while. Not for models, only for those who have signed up in the photographer category.

Are you a photographer, a GWC or a GWPW (that would be a "guy with paper weight" someone who should just us the camera to keep his/her mail from blowing in the wind.)

1) NO WHINING, THESE WILL BE JUST MY OPINION WHICH MEANS NOTHING
2) RE-READ #1
3) If you have 20 photos of the same model poorly lit by the bedside lamp in a hotel room, you ain't getting more than  GWC
4) If you have a "babe" posing with a giant sword, see #3
5) If the shot you have with the most number of "lists" and "comments"  is an obscene shot, read #3. Please don't waste your time or mine telling me that everything you shoot is art, if it is obsene to me I'll say so. RE-READ #1

Basically, if you are a photographer, it will be obvious. If you just want to see a boy or girl out of their clothes, it will also be obvious. There is nothing wrong with either, lets just not kid ourselves as to which is which.

EDIT at 5:25 added category JPB (Just Plain Bad)

I'm playin.

HARSH? Have you ever shown a portfolio to an art director or art buyer?  Have you gone back and looked at any of the photos i have been "harsh" about? Would you please feel free to point out one example where I have been unfair or unreasonable in my comments?????
