Look, if you had one shot
or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
in one moment
Would you capture it...
or just let it slip?

I think the point is it's not the subject that matters, it's the execution. At least the goon gas station squad put effort into a pleasant exposure, unlike mr bus that leaves his camera on auto and uploads four thousand photos with absolutely zero growth between the first image and the newest one.

well i think in the bus guys case the goal seems to be documentation or perhaps collection which is just as valid as any kind of fine art photography i suppose though of different purpose. now that i think about it, doesnt really seem that different from the way a lot of people approach birding though i suppose you are right there is usually more thought going into the technicalities of photography by those people

Gotta love a group with 8500 members and zero photos. Been waiting for years with a box of kleenex and not getting any fulfillment.

I know there's been a lot worse posted but a friend of mine from high school got married and this is one of the photos she got and posted on Facebook, and it was by a "professional"

It's been HDR'd and every single person in there is in an unflattering pose.

Should have been rejected on the first pass through the import.

Also the bottom of the dress has been cut off, and not in a way that makes the photo better.

Definitely not a keeper.

I just found this ad in my local CL gigs section:

website: http://www.createdbytrix.com/portraits

Wrong section of the website for advertising services, check. Terrible website that looks like geocities vomited on 2006, check. Intensely mediocre work that will take a week in post, check. Delusions of being paid $450 to produce this work for a client, check.

I'm impressed that someone would add all those washed out snapshots to their portfolio. At least it makes me feel less bad about my own and gives me confidence to raise my prices without blinking twice.

I've always wanted to email those kind of people with "Sure, I'll do a shoot. I can see you're only starting out but I'll accept $450 payment for my modelling as a favour" and watch them explode.

The gold coast is the source of the dumb and pretty stereotype. Its the rear end end of the rear end end of australia.

The beaches are nice and the mountains are fun to drive and walk through so its got that going for it, just avoid surfers paradise like the plague.

But yeah as a resident of Banora Point for a little over a year for the love of god avoid the gold coast.
