Have you ever gone to someone’s port and said Holly Crap, I don’t like anything, this is junk.  It’s their ART and not yours, someone else in the world might be in captivated by its Artistic Value.

Well what do you say? 

A TAG of -  Nice Port = Don’t quit your day job or they are just OK
A TAG of -  Lovely Models in your port = You suck but thanks for letting me see some Boobs
A TAG of -  Nice work would like to work with you someday = You do have some nice stuff or thank god I live 1000 miles away and we will never have a chance to shoot.
A TAG of - Love the Port do you pay models = Ok, if you where to pay me I would shoot with you (It’s your dime).  SHOW ME THE MONEY
A TAG of - WOW = WOW your stuff is crap or WOW you are the best!
A TAG of – Lovely the body nice boobs = This is cheaper then a Playboy or Hustler Mag
A TAG of – You show so much imagination in your work = Now just learn how to use the camera and take better quality shots.


OK IT'S YOUR TURN!!  Have some FUN!  Should not be taken serious.

A TAG OF - ___________________ = ______________________

yeah but this is MM, and it wouldn't be a proper thread if someone didn't come in with either and unfounded attack or a hypercritical fault finding of the way the question is being asked

smile

A TAG OF - Great concept = Great concept (shame about the execution)

Bwah!

Generally, I don't leave comments on anything that I don't mean, and wish others would do the same.

From local photographers, "great port!" often seems to mean "I'm a chicken and don't want to actually e-mail you and risk being rejected, so I'm hoping my compliment will compel you to contact me with an offer of TFP."
