Enough with the personal attacks. any more of them and I will bring a Mod back in here. That did not end well for you last time.

it's a weird composition. Don't be surprised when you post it publicly and people don't like it.

Would you prefer abject silence on all your pics or would you then just "..." all of them?

@ Stogie...You are talkin to the wrong person...My statement was not a personal attack unlike the above posts....Bring a mod if you want..They already know about the situation anyway...

Does not reconcile. Get over it. Not everyone will like your photos. Deal with it. You already have shown a complete lack of ability to accept any kind of suggestion or ctiticism, and furthermore, have posted numerous photos looking for "oohs and ahhs" yet have offered little if any for ANY of the other photographers in this message board. There have been MANY photos posted that far surpass what you (or I) have done, yet you offer no accolades to those photographers. Get your head straight.

100% agree. If you don't want anything other than "OMG your photos make me orgasm on site" then this is not the place for you.

Italiano, Stop PMing me. This kind of PM is totally unacceptable.

You set the stage when you bumped your own "I do photoshoots" thread and REFUSED to take any constructive criticism. You made the bed. lay in it.

I am blocking you from sending me PMs. This is unacceptable IMO.

Really? This is not a critique..This is always's taking pop shots at me..You guy's are fucked up in the head..It's funny how much you guy's have a problem with my photos..No where do you see me begging for a fuckin compliment..Sarlacc is a total fuck head...He is a shit photographer..Srika imo has stunning photos..You guy's ooohh and awwee over the most boring landscape photo's..Hilarious..If you don't like my photo's great..The real photographers do...So keep siding with the biggest idiot on here and turning a blind eye..

Also, think about what you're posting, if you post a photo of a kid praying and there's an adult crotch right behind his head, what kind of response are you expecting?

Dude, you REFUSE to see the fact that you are acting like a child, which is a pretty accurate representations of a child's behavior.

Stop PMing me bitching about other members. If other photo forums give you the reach-around you desire, why are you here? Seriously, why?

If you TRULY wanted to move the discussion forward about "portraiture", you would have started a thread (much like this one) called "Portraiture" and invited others to enjoy a discussion and critique of your and others' portraits. You did not. You started a thread bragging about doing "photoshoots" for a living with, frankly, some OK and some pretty poor images IMO. You did not get the rave reviews you wanted so you bumped your own thread looking for a hand job that never came.

Are you SERIOUSLY trying to enjoy a conversation about portraiture or do you simply want everyone to stroke your ego about your pictures? Be honest. You don't give ANY feedback to others here besides a cheap "like" as though it were facebook, and you offer NOTHING as a contributor.

Decide if you want to stay here or not, but stop fucking wasting everyone's time and stop crying like a four year old.

This has nothing to do with "sides". I TRIED seeing your point of view in the beginning, trying to see where you were coming from. I tried. But when you are being snotty with people after you willingly put your photos here, then you are giving us no choice but to react negatively to you. We have some strong characters and opinions and have certainly had our share of squabbles especially in the past few months - but generally we get along semi-decently (lol) and importantly we can move on from things, rather than dwell on them.

Anyone else on flickr seeing weird *.yahoo.com referrers?

I wonder if they're putting flickr photos throughout their site as whitespace filler or to accompany ads.

PLEASE only post B+W. No Color or partial color.

I personally ALWAYS want C+C whenever I post a pic, so let it flow in here. Seriously. So, if YOU post here, expect it too.

I am both interested in getting better at the composition of B+W images as well as the post processing aspects of converting digital or scanning and retouching film/negatives. Anyone with good ideas on either, please chime in!

yeah, I have been seeing those - I do think they are doing placements on the photos, it would be in line with the other changes they made in efforts to have more photos shown.

not sure you looked them up but the gma.yahoo is Good Morning America, and the dir.yahoo is a directory. I had a br.yahoo yesterday which is their Brasil site.

That a terrible graphic.
- The pie chart on the upper left (why the hell is it in 3D?!) isn't in percentages so it's completely unknown what they're measuring.
- They say the 1DX is the most popular one, but then they tell you "13" (13 what?!) are "no data" - does that mean that the 5DII/III which are right behind the 1DX could potentially really be the more popular one? 13 seems like a large unknown range considering your max for known sets is 8!
- The fine script says "in series of photos with more than one camera, only the most used is counted". What? So how does that play in to the pie chart?! Doesn't that seem like a bad way to count things?
- What's the relationship between the charts? On the 3D pie Mamiya has "7" units while Leica has a total of "3" units, yet percentages in the donut chart don't align with these quantities.
- Finally, the red background is ass.

yeah, I don't get it either... it has the RX1 in there which is about or over a year old, and the NEX-5N which is over 2 years old Yet, no mention of the a7/a7R

edit: oh I just notice the Nikon D3, D80 ( ) and D700

Well, since the thread made in my honor was locked...I think I should point out that Bitchiliano apparently deleted his flickr and personal "professional" website

Sad truth is he probably just opened new accounts and finding other forums to force his drek upon.
