Does this count as a claim? I pulled it off your page... "World Renowned and award winning Fashion/Art photographer with over 1/4 million images online and in print." ok sure that counts, ok the US is in the world, so that covers that, and 1/4 million images, can be verified simply by traveling to 1310 frankilin st Darien Ga, and you are more than welcome to browse them, fair enough?

No ridiculous claims - except for the ones on my MM profile - which is a joke intended to make fun of all the chumps on this site who make themselves sound like something they're not. People only need to get defensive when their claims are challenged if the claims are exaggerations or outright fabrications. mjr.

Not to hijack this perfectly lovely train wreck, but I feel the need to say this: Marcus, you and I have never corresponded, and rarely appeared in the same thread, but I wanted to tell you that I've read a lot of your stuff, and I am enormously impressed with the strength and clarity of your intellect, and your skill at expressing it. Now, back to the show . . . .

So "In Print" means you've printed them and they're in a box in a storage unit somewhere? Okay, now I see my mistake was in taking you even remotely seriously! You have proven in this thread that you are a) a liar. by ommission rather than commission. and b) a petty little child - by the unwarranted personal attacks. Can we refer all the models you contact to this thread for the True Colors of Shiree aka Fraud.

If you are "renowned" in Sacramento, you are "world renowned". Neat logic. Extending it, your house in Sacramento is in the world. You are in your house. Your mind is in you. (OK, that last was a stretch, but go with me here . . .) Consequently, if you are "renowned" in your own mind, and you are in the world, there is justification for saying you are "world renowned". Did I get that right?

I've been following along out of sheer boredom. Believe me, just pure unobstructed boredom and I just have one question... Can someone tell me what "proove" means? Is that latin or something?

I owe them an appology after its prooven, thats what their claim is towards me, so thats how it is their rules not mine. besides i aksed a question , didnt make an accusation... hehe. Well the OP has left the MM family. I don't know if its for good or a time out but I must admit he PISSED me off. He did the same thing in a past thread with me. He attacked when his point was lost or weak. Besides the fact that if you say you shoot or have shot for a well known client then either you really did or you are full of shit.

I'm on the offensive, in this situation. When I saw your original post (the bit about the $200,000) I thought, "there's a guy with a rich fantasy life...." and let it pass. But then I saw you getting into it with TX and thought, "now this sucker's not just a blowhard, he's an idiot!" and decided to check you out a bit. A quick read-over on your profile made me think that someone with so many published photos would light up all over Google, but not much to my surprise you appear to be a nonentity, instead. So I thought I'd call it like I see it and mentioned that you appear to be a big-talking nobody with an elaborate fantasy life. I believe that brings us up to the current history.

Shiree wrote: Ok well see there that wasnt too hard, make ur calls and take a pill, as for who are my clients for the image your speaking, most of which were submissions, some sold to The RL Outlet in Darien Ga, others have not been sold nor submitted. however i do believe youll find the models in them to be working, lets see Corey Reese, Cosmo magazine 2 or 3 times since i shot him? Before i shot him.. Cosmo 0 time, so fact is i benefit models, and i sell images. not sure other than that what your point is. Sorry... I have to bust your ballson this one. My 2nd shoot was with a girlnamed Jasmine. It was her 2nd shoot as well. Since then we have practiced with each other for sport. I have another friend, Mario, who is a diomond dealer. I shoot him often as well. Well, one day I did a shoot borrowing Marioss diaomonds... we had one shot with more then $1.5mof diaomonds wholesale about $5m retail). A few weeks later she did workwith Jet Magazine. Mario was soon picked up by a magazine directed to Hispanic Professionals. I could do the same as you and claim that it was MY work and the exposure I gave them. I could say that they were chosen because of my work. But it wasn't. They worked their asses off to get where they are at. Sure, we all have inpsired each other the team we have been assembling, but all of this could not be attributed to one person EXCEPT the individuals who actually put their face in the line of fire, took risks, and positioned themselves favorably. The problem is: when you make claims like this, people will expect more out of you. What will you do or say when someone sees this statement and expects that they will be in cosmo? Please enjoy a taste of "Humble Pie" with the rest of us....

At one of my past shitty jobs there was this guy who made all kinds of outrageous claims. People mostly ignored him but two of my co-workers checked into his stuff and one day when he started with the boasting challenged him. Before the night was over he was almost in tears. Some people laughed and the next day people just walked by him either shaking their heads or laughing. He walked over to me and I acted like nothing had happened. I already knew his stories were bullshit or at least suspected they were but I didn't really care all that much. I thought to myself how sad, here's a person that feels the need to impress others and perhaps lie to himself.
