What puzzles me (time after time) is why others even care what other models and photographers shoot.  And, beyond that, care enough to comment on it on the boards.

What we'll probably hear next is someone posting and saying "but wait, sometimes they can be really good" and they'll post one that's really good. Then one of the complainers will come back with "well, I guess there can be exceptions."

That's how these "I'm going to scream if ..." things seem to go.

It seems like a cheap way to feel better about what you do as a function of denigrating other's work.

I was not degrading someone work. It's just a redundent outfit .
There where no models or photographers mentioned.

Having been in the military models in camo id reduntent.

so models should stop wearng camo outfits because you saw camo too much when you were in the military?

I made a comment I didn't degrage any one photographer or model. I said the shot is BORING BORING.. I was not nor did I mean it as degrading.
Seems that people  missed the boat again. 

Look at my post seems people interject there own though and MISSED the BOAT. In ever mentioned a weapon look and what I wrote
"IF I SEE ANOTHER MODEL IN CAMO I'LL SCREAM"

Photography as with everthing else repeats it self

Hence the statement

history repeats it self over and over again.

People like to be lead and most of the post seem to follow that.

I have posted a better one here look at it and comment if you wish.

Fine art and the BBW model

First of all, I said denigrate, not degrade. There's a difference.  True, you didn't mention any particular model or photographer. You didn't need to if your comment was intended as a more general statement.

If you didn't mean it as a general statement, and simply meant to comment that you were going to scream the next time you saw one, I don't know what you wanted to accomplish with such a statement. If you didn't mean it in a general way at all, then I doubt that anyone cares about your need to scream.  If you mean the screaming as a more general statement about the state of affairs in poses somehow (which is how people took your meaning), then it's of interest to the rest of us.

This isn't the first thread that you started (and you don't have much history here yet) that you end up commenting on how the rest of us have "missed the boat."  If you keep noticing that others are "missing the boat" with your communications, then perhaps you are the one not being clear enough.

I'm really not sure where you're headed with your comments above. I'll be leaving the BBW modeling thread jumping you're doing here alone. I'm sure you're somehow serious about it. If it was anyone else, I would think it was  a joke!

Excellent observation.

Perhaps people felt your use of "fire arm" meant weapon.

Nevertheless, as for missing the boat, read the rest of Curt's post:

(You should note that the prediction was correct.)
