I just realized that you haven't uploaded a picture since March of 2012?  Ur too funni!  :-)

All these Amateurs and GWPW and worse that are out here!  It's incredible that you are even able to look at all these Crappy Ports without throwing up in you mouth...

I hope you have some Pepto Bismol for after looking at these pictures.

All the Best!
Edward

Looks like we have a whiner.

Having to look at those portfolios just hurts... (not saying I'm better) but why do you like to inflict self pain? smile

and I quote from your page "I'm an amateur photographer.  I work only tfp.  If I had money I would pay models but I wouldn't want to be hired as a photographer.   I don't find that very satisfying."

WTF? With an attitude like that I won't bother to look at your images. Define yourself -- maybe Radar will tell you how wonderful you are.   Have at it.

YOUUUUU.

you claim to have "done over  6000+  shoots." This is what you have to show for it?  Why does the expression "even the sun shines on a dogs ass once in a while" now feel so painfully hollow? Just asking.

Not 1 Person is better than a GWPW and yet your work is so extravagantly wonderful?  I always wonder why we seek acceptance from those that have no clue in their own right?!  :-)

YOU my Rude and Obnoxious GWaHUGEPW should have this thread shut down!

Looks like we have a whiner.

Let's make it simple, of your 244 photos, please tell us which one, just one, any one, a single one, has professional qualities? Seriously, come on, realistically, show us just one that is well lit, well styled, well produced, has proper post-production. Just one. You name it and we will all go look and tell you have wonderful you are. You want someone to tell you how great you are, go ask your mama. You want the truth, just ask and I am sure pretty much anyone with knowledge of professional photography will be happy to give it to you.

By the way, you are correct, the people that ask in this forum are NOT professionals, they don't need to hear what I have to say. Have you looked at the photos of the posters before you got your panties in a twist?

Stop whining, don't like what I think, great, you have every right to feel that way.

unrelated trivia, Fig Newtons were originally made in Quincy but they did not like the name Fig Quincys. Seriously.

What do you want me to say, 3 shoots, no visible knowledge of light, styling, digital production. Come on you know.

Edward, give it a rest, this is David's critique thread, no one is interested in reading your opinion on his.
So please, just pack up your baggage and move on.
Or better yet, start your own pro, am, gwpw thread.
I'll gladly take up first spot on the grid if you like.

EK is still whining but we are all still waiting for him to identify just one shot of of his 244 that he thinks is professionally done. Ah well, we have a very long wait coming.
