I dunno if this is cool to post in this thread, but McMadCow stop arguing with those idiots in E/N. They're all self-proclaimed experts who will never admit that they're wrong.

This is my favorite quote in the history of everything

I like that one a lot, but my favorite part is a one-two combination, where demozthene's claims to have worked with "Professional Photographers with contracts drafted by Corporate Lawyers," followed by admitting that she's never worked with an industry photographer.

Awesome, I'll call up the professional photographers that I posed for and the corporate lawyers that drafted their contracts and tell them that they're doing it wrong.

Ugh.

demozthenes posted:

It's common knowledge in the (artistic, can't speak for fashion/runway) modeling community that it's poor form/amateurish/a scam to deny access to the negatives or approval over the final photos.

Mr. Hicks' photography may not be the best, but at least he has enough sense to just give a package to Colorfinger, rather than ruin his whole word-of-mouth campaign by becoming the target of a bunch of immature assholes.

It is neither pathetic nor awful of Mrs. Hicks to take offense at what people have said on the forums. Words matter, even when they come from bitter, vitriolic goons. Her husband may have to play nice to avoid having his entire promotion ruined, but she does not. Good for her for standing up for her husband.

Nothing at all against Colorfinger - but he's screwed this photographer into working for free or else face the wrath of goons invading his online business.

We're not fcking 4chan.
I completely agree.

After spending a week with the s95, I'm strongly considering ditching my SLR gear in favor of a Fuji X100. I'm sort of in love with the idea of combining the X100 with Quadras for an ultraportable environmental portrait kit

Here's a (rough translation of a) Fuji interview for those interested: http://translate.google.com.au/tran...talk/720/15572/

My local camera store is expecting some X100s and promised to call me when they arrive. Hopefully they arrive after the 8th, since I'll be out of town until then. I can't wait!

I just got home from my local camera store, and am officially the first (and only) name on their list. They have no idea when they expect to receive the X100.

the owner was actually telling me that when the Fuji rep contacted him, he was expecting to get bitched at for never ordering any Fuji stuff, but instead was surprised to hear that his would be one of the first stores to carry the X100--apparently being a licensed Leica dealer was the determining factor.

Get it. it's soooo good. Firmware 1.01 is already out (minor fix, but it seems they will be much more responsive with firmware updates than canon or nikon), and Lightroom support in 3.4 is very likely.

Nice, man. Good to know. You mind posting a couple of your better photos with it to whet my appetite?

Wow that's weird. I know nothing about portraiture but I like the candid idea I guess.

haha that book is such bullshit. it's nothing but an exercise in narcissism. a photobook, except they forgot to put good photos in it.


like, this line is cool

quote:

the star began documenting herself (with the assistance of her fiance) to capture her most intimate moments
because it doesn't describe a single one of the photos. they're all posed & contrived. there's no insight into the adult entertainment industry like you'd expect from the description. it's simply a bunch of pictures that are indistinguishable from so many myspace/facebook photos, but happen to feature sasha grey.
