I finally looked at his GROWING FAMILY page... did he buy the multiple Mercedes-Benzes from writing bad opinions or from taking bad photos? Because I can do either, especially the bad photos part.

I always assumed "growing family" meant he was having more kids, but apparently it just means his kids are getting chubby.

Look at this generous guy - asking strangers for $8500 so he can use his boudoir photography "gift" to shoot women recovering from abusive relationships. $100 gets you a shout out on Facebook!

"Once funded I will work with area abuse support to identify the most qualified for these sessions."

I'm imagining a process like:
"Hey, so uh, I want to take pictures of abused women, like sexay stuff. Do you have any gals living at your safe house at the moment who are qualified? I'm looking for someone with really low self-esteem who wants to take their clothes off and be photographed - for free, of course. I'll provide the underwear. Also, it's a plus if the bruises have healed but it's not a requirement."

I'm surprised he doesn't have any backers yet :v:

The handful of goons I've met IRL have been fine, contrary to the stereotypes. Revolucion is a solid guy, we went spelunking under Hobart. He's the only Dorkroom regular I've met in person, but I've had mutually-enjoyable-and-beneficial exchanges (film, mainly) with other photogoons. Outside of the Dorkroom, I met most of the local Saskatoon goons through the "Your City Sucks" thread when I lived there, we drank beer and watched hockey games and all was well. You know, like normal human interaction kinda stuff.

Meet for the first time in a public place and plan to be in each other's company for a very limited time - like a single cup of coffee. If the person turns out to be a total weirdo, make an excuse and bail. Don't tell them where you work / live / spend all your free time right away.

This all seems pretty obvious, really. Was this previous unfortunate encounter with a Goon, or with some other denizen of the internet?

I had a similar problem a few days ago (Thursday?) but it started working after about 30 minutes of me swearing at it and restarting my computer. Given you had some problems, I guess it wasn't on my end. Maybe they were doing some maintenance on the site and the new guy smacked a smoke alarm with a ladder? (metaphorically)

Everyone is far away, but it's pretty cool how many of you have met up. The interwebs are chock full of gently caress ups and retards.

I have a close friend that was a local goon, King Metal, but he moved a million miles away to Santiago, Chile for some vaginal intercourse and I haven't seen him since. He used to take lovely pics with me.

Nothing funnier to me than people who do like 3 free jobs from model mayhem and think that qualifies them as a expert. Empowering boudoir shoots for DV survivors is a tremendous idea, but 'some guy who bought a camera last month' is not the one to pull it off.



Legit. "I want kickstarter to pay for X" is the way to go. Also is he implying that he wants to charge these poor women money, but takes pity on them and pays out of pocket for a motel or whatever?



Super Legit.
