No professional training , too lazy to read the manuals for my cameras , usually shoot on automatic settings ( cuz the rest confuses me ) , phtograph as a hobby/not trying to make any real money , dont consider myself very good , nor my efforts in any way to be "artistic '..........

Picked up the camera just to meet interesting people , fashion models , world music  stars etc

And I cant keep up with the flood of opportunities that have come my way .....

So  by this thread you say what?


That you take pride in your work?  GWC's annoy you?

I'm not getting the point.

This thread is about the equivalent of my "Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups" t-shirt..

It doesn't actually say anything about anyone specifically, but it weeds out the underconfident by the reactions it gets..

Of course it also makes the wearer look like a bit of an ass..

- an ass.

One of the biggest lessions that MM has to teach.  It is the person not the pic. You got people skills. Looks like shooting 100 events has tought you lots about Photography. You have cause to feel good about your self. Still kinda stupid thread. You are not a GWC.

I don't know what "GWC" means but it sounds like you have a good assistant.
