Is liberalism a mental disorder According to Micheal Savage it is. He better becareful before someone steals his cameras. He wants me to shoot his next book coverafter recieving my gift photo from the Bay bride. He is really relaxed compared to his talk radio style

First, I'm a faithfull listener to Micheal Savage and completly agree with him. Second, get you're grammer straight and elaborate on this Bay bride gift. I seriously doubt that he really wants you to shot a book cover. Because, he could hire a pro to do it, and don't tell me you are especially if you have to pretend to be noname Paul. Yes I was reading that question about PS. Also what does this have to do with digital photography?!?!? Brendan

LMBO! Yea, yea. Whatever. If he does small piece of advice. Focus on the EYES. The EYES need sharp, clear focus in any portrait. Your Mark II is up to the job, but it's only as good as you are. Remember, focus on the eyes. Karma

Thats hilarious, thats supposed be the bay bridge not bay bride. I wrote Micheal that his second to last book photo wasn't very flattering and that for free would do some shots and then go for a drink. Well I don't know if he worte it himself, but said to come to SanFran, meet with the producers and we'll go from there. He ended with "be here or be nowhere."

My advice now that you've booked the gig: (a) Tell him it will be an all day shoot . . . about 8 hours. --------------- For anyone else reading this, you'd have to have read some of the other threads here to fully understand my recommendations. -- John Lind

First you depart from a studio without a portfolio, now you miss a golden opportunity to leverage some $$$ to pay for the expensive car, jeans and sunglasses out of a gratuitous print. Friendship is friendship, but business is business. Nevertheless, a pro bono gig it is. It will give you some practice at the pro bono work you've mentioned thinking about doing before. If he is such a great guy that's worthy of a top drawer shoot pro bono, he'll give you a conditional release that allows you to use his image in your portfolio (with celebs, this is required). Business is still business; hold your line on this firmly. No release, no shoot, and he aint' no great guy no more. And for Heaven's sake, don't blab about doing this pro bono when it's Miller Time and you're hanging out with the rest of the guys down at the F-stop swapping the latest war stories about saving entire weddings from rampaging Bridezillas. They'll never let ya live it down and you'll be the butt of their jokes for years to come. -- John Lind

actually my photo equipment cost more than my car, but that will change soon enough. Ive just started my own Gig this year and put a down payment on a house. Everytime I start to look at a new car my eye catches some new photo equipment, but Im almost maxed out on that. Unless of coarse, if I studioize a room in the house. And hey Brendan, when I shoot Mikey and let every one know, then I'll be brag'n

John, I think Orange County, CA is where Jerry Frazier, an actual real-life wedding photographer lives. I think No-name-slick-justin, the fashion-shooting-boss-suing-overworked-rapid-fire-wedding-photographer-without-a-portfolio, lives in Hawaii. With his "Mark II" that he's Oh so proud of.

Chris, Gee, I thought he was just chillin' on the beach there soaking up the rays in his jeans and shades, giving his shutter release finger a long-needed rest before returning to the grind and having to deal with all the rest of the guys after work down at the F-Stop who give quarter to no one about any slips or gaffes (they are clairvoyant about anything that goes wrong). -- John Lind

very good Chris, yes thats a wedding I did on Hawaii recently. I wish I could live there. Maybe someday I can buy a vacation home there. I live about an hour away from OC. Don't know any Jerry Photographers, too many at the expos to go around and meet them all

Do you remember Jerry now? He's the one you argued with recently about RAW vs. JPEG. You even started a new thread "just for him" and kept rambling until he finally called you a schmuck and tried to ignore you. Maybe your memory just isn't so good. Don't know where I got the crazy idea that you live in Hawaii. The following posts were all made from the account that all of your various aliases have used. 2/26/05 3/05/05 3/10/05 3/19/05 Maybe Steve, Slick Digital, Savy, Digital King, Justin Ritz, Bruce Weber, and No Name should all get together to compare notes. You choose the island.

Neither here nor There.. Can't we all just...
...
By him, I am referring to the super-photographer with multiple personalities and shoots celebrity photos for free, shoots 40+ weddings a month in California, Hawaii and Mexico, but quit and sued his former boss and doesn't have a portfolio to show potential clients, has photos of brides and models, but can't/won't use them cause 1. judge's decision neither he nor his former boss can use them or 2. has the model release, but doesn't think the bride/model would appreciate the pictures on the web or 3. afraid someone might use(steal) them without permission. WTF is a model release for if not to allow the photographer to use the picture?$&%*^(^*#$!@#%@#^$*)^(*$#!!!!!!!!!!! IF someone wants to use a 500pixel 72dpi image for any thing... not worthy of printing. Only web use would be practical. If they use it without permission and you catch them... Where are my hip waders.. it is getting deep...

all of that didn't happen in the order you presented. It all is true, just don't feel like writing a book about it. And I only use photos if I have too, so why chance it here. If you were all paid photographers like the other forum I spend most of my time on. Then I might trust it, cause they could reproduce the shot themselves
|
|
|
|

|
Christopher A. Vedros |
And what forum is that, specifically? What name do you use there, just in case we wanted to look you up? You don't need to write a book, you just need to tell the truth once in a while. Bottom line, Justin, I don't believe a word you type. I don't believe you spent 15 years shooting fashion models. I don't believe you shot 11 weddings in April, or that you bounce around between California, Mexico & Hawaii shooting them. I don't believe you've made jaws drop with your JPEG vs. RAW samples. I don't believe a judge decreed that neither you nor your former employer could use your mixed photos. I don't even believe you own a Canon 1d Mark II. I DO believe that you're a small time photographer with big time dreams - and there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is that you keep making up lies and exaggerations to try to impress people. I DO believe that in addition to this account where you keep changing your name, you have also posted from an account called Lynn Boyer, and Paul, also. You and Lynn both think there's a camera called a Miyama. It's Mamiya. You have some growing up to do, Justin. I've decided to call you Justin, because out of all your different names, I think that one fits. My wife is a teacher, and when we were looking to name our first child, we had to eliminate names of former students she didn't like. Her sister, mother, and grandmother were all teachers too, and they all agreed that every student they had ever had named Justin was a huge pain in the butt.

WOW Chris. Hows the daily P.I.Job coming (lay of the donuts). I don't see one thing I made up. It is all true and happened in the span of around 20yrs, but Im not going to give you a timeline. Got my camera online from some crazy nut that would only sell me the body and nothing else. So I bought some lenses and he threw in the box. I dont have a wide angle, fish eye or macro Who copied who on the Miyama

Did the crazy nut sell you the body and no lens, or the body and no accessories? If you did have a "Mark2" in February, why on April 10th did you start a thread saying that you were shopping for a camera and trying to decide between Canon or Nikon? I really don't care if you answer these questions or not. I certainly don't expect you to admit to any of your fabrications or exaggerations - it's just not in your nature. Do you think anyone who has been around here a while believes you? I'm not talking about Lynn Boyer, either. You don't need to worry about trying to gain any credibility. Just cut the bull. If you have an actual honest question, post it. If you have an actual honest answer for someone else's question, post it. Drop the rest, we don't care.

Chris, I agree with you on you're last post. I just got back from a camping trip, and before I left (I can't remember which name you used, because you have so many of them) I know you weren't "What it". So if that's all true, then why do you need to keep using different names. Becasues we all know you're lying, and like Chris said you're probably someone that wishes it was true, and there's nothing wrong with that, but you really need to cut all the bullsh*t. Brendan

I see the cr@p has riden to the surface. I e-mail individuals that I like and we get along fine (mostly the women). Too many machos with attitude here. One women wrote me alot of the guys speak this technical mumbo-jumbo, but there picture suck. The ones that are short and sweet have great photos...odd (maybe they spend more time in the field?

Justin the change to Ed, is like the third name you've used on this thread. The reason you get along with women, is because you can probably con them(no offense, women do it to us too), but we can see right through it. You said you can't take our attitude? I'm a 14 year old kid and you can't take my attitude. Justin you really need to cut the shit, because nobody beleives you, and I'm reporting you to Betterphoto management. Brendan

I believe he input on "chose one or none " also..
