He's not saying it was directed at him, Daniela, he's saying the joking tone of your opening post was obvious to him.

It's not obvious to anyone else because, for the last time, it wasn't to you. It wasn't to anyone. At all. It wasn't about you. It wasn't directed to you. It was a spoof on another thread that yes, you were a part of, but not the main cause of.

My original post, was not directed to you. So, it can't be obvious to you that it was directed to you, when it WAS NOT DIRECTED TO YOU.

OMG Daniela V...

It was obvious to ME that this thread was A JOKE!!!!!  I never said, NOR did I ever believe it was a JOKE DIRECTED towards ME!!  I never never never SAID (or to be technical, wrote) that it was obviously directed to me!!  Why, WHY, do you constantly misunderstand me?!  I do know I don't have the greatest writing skills and Gibberish is my first language, but I still have explained myself quite clearly and YOU still think I'm bitching about this thread being about me!

That was kind of a long paragraph so I'll seperate this last line so as to hopefully avoid confusion.

I KNOW THIS THREAD WAS NOT STARTED, CREATED, OR INTENDED TO BE DIRECTED TOWARDS ME.

I prefer old school glamour.  Not many people do it anymore.  In fact, Mark Wangerin is the only photographer I can think of who does.  I'm sure there are more that I'm not familiar with.

Any examples of old school?...past tense?

She likes college football so it works for me.  Though I kind of have the hots right now for Lora because she laughed at me.  I like girls that laugh...wait...WITH me. I like girls that laugh WITH me.

The original meaning of the word glamour was the act of casting a spell over someone. The modern meaning of the word relates to fascination, charisma, beauty or sexual attraction. A person, or their lifestyle, can be described as glamourous.

-wikipedia.

So bad glamour fails to achieve those goals.  It is that unskilled person trying without success to seduce, or lure.

Good glamour succeeds in the definition above.

You meant this thread as a joke, but it turned out to be a good one.  A modeling portfolio being a marketing tool without a market aim is glamour in its pure form.  When its attached to cars clothes or cell phones its a combination resulting in effective advertising.  Or when coupled with an artistic end it can become a masterpeice.

The photoshop crap that someone else put up for us to laugh at is bad glamour because it fails the litmus test.  It could however be art as a spoof of glamour and a statement about fake people (it was coupled with a statment an artistic vision)  Maybe someone was sketching and that is fine also.

This is a great thought but it belongs in photography talk.

Damn, I amuse myself!

Good stuff Trevor.

Sorry. I'll try to make "good" glamour from now on. It's just that the dark-side of glamour was so compelling to me...
