There's some bad work in there, like putting an iphone on a table with the current weather on the screen and taking a picture of it. Why bother? But there is some curious stuff in there too. I guess they all can't be zingers.

I think the Shore stuff is uninteresting, it seems like she's only reading the nostalgia in his photos (and responding to appreciation of his photos through the nostalgic lens) and forgetting that it was his color and composition that made his work interesting at the time. She's showing that you can take the "same" photo now (so why bother, obviously?) but still can't manage to make it look half as good. Obviously she's not going for complete imitation (why bother?) but I feel her commentary is lacking.

It really feels like she completely misses any points that make Shore's work good or interesting. It feels like a some kind of weird art photographer clickbait. Some of her other stuff is good and cool but the entire site and most of her projects seem rushed or at least not well represented online.

I guess I'm the poo poo logo in the dead center, direct flash, white wall that mysteriously throws off the exposure and general lack of giving a gently caress about what you're pretending to do :arghsmilie: e: at least she's an "amateur photographer" on her profile so I shouldn't care too much.

I usually always check out the photos of people who favorite or comment on my own, and I found this guy who's almost 60 and according to his profile, has been a photographer since 1970. He lists all the cameras he's owned over the years including some pretty valuable film and digital ones. I go to look at his photostream and every single one is just the most bland "I was here" snapshot you can imagine. Not a single creative fiber in the guy's body. I don't understand how you can maintain a hobby for so many years, yet never evolve beyond the most basic low effort stuff.

The rest of his profile sounds like Ulillillia or something...so much information that just doesn't matter.quote:Note: all photos are full-frame for the camera in use (always tagged...) UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED. (I often crop, but always indicate when I do so, unless the picture is an old (pre-2008) scan... when I might have forgotten whether the .jpg on my computer is, or is not, a crop...) When I'm shooting with a vibration reduction lens (Nikon: VR, Sigma: OS) the feature is turned OFF unless stated otherwise. Note that no shots from the F4s will have Vibration Reduction active - The Nikon F4 simply doesn't know about VR...

"This shot is slightly blurred by camera motion - but you try to get a 400mm shot at 1/40th second!" You know there's a fix for that, bud.

It's always been a pet peeve of mine when the photographs of buses don't include what line they were working when the photograph was taken.

i'm the inexplicable geotagging strategy of (presumably manually) moving the tag to the location of the subject except in the case of sunsets and cloud formations (c'mon bro, geotag the sun and the clouds!)

Time heals everything. Everything but love. How I got in to Leicas Love. Hate. Love. Hate. And love again. When I left home under a cloud at the age of 16 my father gave me a fast fifty Takumar and a book of Ernst Haas' work. "Here, you'll need these," he said. For a couple of years I kept body and soul together with that fifty and a Sun tele on a pistol grip fronting two Spotmatics. Just barely. A meager body and a sliver-thin soul fell in love with a metallurgical engineer. I was burning steel - she showed me how to push a bead with a Redi-Arc and put it back together. We made out in the back of the truck I was repairing. It took two years to figure out she was an alligator in cat's clothing. Two years of blood and snot after that I finally left her. "I liked you better when you were weak," she said. I turned what was left toward the door and was about to close it behind me when she said, "Wait, I want you to have something." For some reason I stopped. Tired. An empty face with an unknown route to an unknown station. Numb. The fool with no name stopped. She came out of our, no, her, bedroom with her M4 and a 50 two-0. "Do something with this," she said and closed the door for me. I hated it. How do you frame with a thing like this? I shot transparencies not black and white. No goddamn easel. Depth of field? Where's the preview.....? Oh. But I loved it. Small. Quiet. Light. Light years sharper. A visual fetish. And the smell of her every time I put my eye to the finder. But I hated it. How do you load film? Are you serious? I got over it. Like the alligator I kept coming back. Still shot reflex because it made sense. Gave up on black and white and nearly the M4. Got a 28 for it. Kept shooting slides.... By this time I was doing 90 percent of my work with a pair of F4s bodies. And a pair of M6s. Same 50. Same 35. Mostly Kodachrome. Then I went digital. Reflex in digital was easy. Canon and Nikon killing it. Superb. Moved through the Ds and then worked with a guy who had a Fuji S3. Remembered that. Called it the "Skin Job." He got it. The M4 and M6 were parked and what the hell was I gonna do for a quiet gentle camera when a D3 was a gravel truck leaking hydraulic at a Strauss ball. Auditioned Sonys and Lumixs and whatever else with the tiny perfect lenses. No, no, no. Ironically great cameras in RAW or black and white but their JPGs kinda blew in color. I like JPGs. And then I gave up. Looked at the Ms sitting on a bookshelf. Shot twenty-something rolls of Velvia one day. Sent it to NCPS. Hated the film. Kept coming back to those cameras. Didn't have a film after Kodachrome went. Astia. Provia.... No, no. no..... Ektachrome... no...no. No. The big C got the engineer - her dad let me know. No parent should have to bury a child. Thirty years since I'd seen him and there we were at her service. He cried. I was numb. Again. We drank to remember. I pulled the M4 and the fifty out of my jacket and put it in the casket, just below the overlay where no one would see it. Said something stupid. The next morning I listed the M6 and rented an M8. Then an M9. No, no, no.... The alligator was worm food. Dreams of an M4 haunted me and every once in a while one crossed my path. But there isn't any Kodachrome anymore so I would roll over and kick a sheet off. Maybe throw on some music until I could sleep again. Most of my work is done with a D3. But my always camera when I'm just me, tired of being strong, tired of turning a numb face to the world, is a little X100. Skin Job's little brother. A may-as-well-be 35mm FOV with a finder that lets me see what's actually going on in a non-reflex, quiet, gentle camera. Sometimes, when I put my eye to the finder, I can still hear the vicious sweep of a reptile's tail but it's faint. Faint, yet still there in the distance of time that healed nearly all.
