On Second thought, you dont look that much like Keith Flint after all. =P

Hmmm, most of my portfolio is young ladies in lingerie or less- and no men there yet.  But Dino, at least my images are properly exposed.  :-)

is anyone sad to see Dougie Boy leave MM? Is anyone going to miss him? Why did he have to make an anouncement on his page that he is leaving? Did he want us to beg him not to go? Does any REALLY care?

Bye Doogie, and by the way...go f*ck yourself.

Doogie Houser?

Didn't know he's on MM.

Do you have his number? Didn't see him in this thread.

And why is he leaving?

Must be really popular since my grocery store never seems to keep the disposables with 600mm lenses in stock!

Lens $1800.00
Disposible Camera $1.20    (W/$.75 rebate)


Dont forget the tampons for the wife, thats what you went there for in the first place.

You can find them at any of those nude glamour workshops that you pay $150 for.
It always ends up being just a bunch of guys with hard-ons who happen to own a camera and have $150 to throw away.

You pay alot of attention at those things it looks like.

if he starts threads on how to spot GWCs...

LOL, I was totally going to say that...or if anyone obsessing over the famed GWC may very well be a GWC fine tuning his game...

They use a small AM transistor radio for a light meter. *Hoping no one notices the difference!

I was wondering why that light meter I got on eBay has an antenna!

Whay are we not? The industry has been built by innovators, it's an art form. And again it's about the final image. One of the most amazing landscape photogs shoots with a wooden box camera that he built! A gwc that cost 5,000 can give you the world's greatest 1st impression but what if the pics look just like the disposable cameras due to his shooting style? Is he just better because he made a good camera shoot low quality pics?

You're entirely missing the point here. The photographer who built his own 'wooden box' camera has SKILL. The GWC who buys gear has $$$, luck and Photoshop - NO SKILL. If you don't think process matters, than that's sad, because it's process that is passed on to others, that reflect ownership of the quality of the results, and keeps the craft, art and science of photography alive.

Want to know if someone is a GWC? If they don't care about the process.

Regards, Art.

I like this man...I may not be up there with Ansel or Arny,  Joe MM Photog, or anyone else, but I do put a lot of long thought about much worried over effort into my work, I roll in the grass like an army dude if thats what it takes to get a great shot, whatever,  I think some folks consider a photog a GWC if his work doesnt look like its been published in a magazine. I think alot of models miss the point that alot of good photogs, male and female, had to start somewhere and it is usually "with camera".  I like to KNOW what makes my camera work, wooden or Top $$$!

I note that your models are "properly exposed" as well as your images.
TGLIT = Talented Guy in Texas
GWC = models are "improperly exposed" along with images.

Final image is all that counts, who cares how you got there !? I would be intrigued by a Photog w 1o disposables ready to go.

this is the truth, too many pros do real shite to be honest, in fact I wanna see a girl with camera, they normaly do great work

If you show up to a shoot and the guy has 10 diposable camera's (all with a flash and neatly organized on the table, no doubt) then you might be working with a GWC.

I don't know if this would said...but that could also be a good sign you're working with Juergon Teller. Also, just as bad.

A photographer could also make a pin hole camera and get great results if he knows what he is doing.

Having a 200 thousand dollar studio does not make a person a professional. It means that the person had 200 thousand dollars to spend.
