Okay yeah those photos are bad and I would love to believe that he specifically found a model and talked her into a Mcdonald's themed shoot but this was more than likely her idea. It looks like one of those cheesy senior portrait sessions that some folks love to do in addition to the standard posed ones you give to grandma. I can't really fault her, she looks like she's having fun whether it's supposed to be a body positive satirical thing or just a dumb "lol I like fries" thing. Also goons should probably not make fun of moderately overweight high school students *looks pointedly at ur yearbook* This however loving owns

You could make her look feminine and cool or punk and scary or whatever but they went with fast food.

Her weight is a legitimate source of criticism, not because she's overweight, but because of the nature of the shoot. Who would care if the same girl had a typically cliched shoot in a field, throwing up daisies? But it's McDonald's and loving French fries.

You guys know I was joking about the making fun of her for being fat right? I don't think anyone's being mean I'm just saying the photographer probably didn't come up with this concept since there is no goddamn way a parent is gonna pay for a fast food themed shoot unless their kid talked them into it.

Dear reddit, why is everyone acting like I'm the kind of rear end in a top hat who ruins customer-friendly return policies? Also, what's return fraud?Some rear end in a top hat on reddit posted:Sorry about the throwaway account but I don't want to risk any sort of retaliation against my real account as I know that there are a lot of die hard B&H fans on this subreddit (formerly myself included). Bolding mine. Had he realized they had policies in place to prevent return fraud he'd obviously be more subtle about committing it. That's his takeaway from this incident. And what's returning "a lot" you might ask? quote:3 cameras, 7 or 8 lenses This rear end in a top hat is upset and complaining on reddit because he's no longer allow to "rent" tens of thousands of dollars worth of camera gear for free, turning all that gear from new to used in the process. In the thread he tries to compare what he does to test driving a car, or having someone inspect a house before purchasing it. https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/comments/6qkjws/psa_think_twice_before_returning_anything_to_bh/?st=j5rjowyy&sh=f0855d04

If you're building a 10,000 dollar kit, why not just spend the extra 50-100 bucks a day to rent the lenses you want to try out?

I feel like I've seen youtube camera/lens reviews where they mention they are going to return the stuff after they are done with their video.

"Dear Reddit, the all-you-can-eat restaurant made me leave when they closed for the night. Nowhere in any policy of theirs does it say the 'all' I am capable of eating has to be during business hours. Don't want anyone else to get burned by this hidden arbitrariness."

The watermark looks exactly like the ones that I keep seeing in sponsored posts in my Facebook feed for some company that offers watermark designs for photographers. The ad goes 'Even if you hate watermarks and never want to see another one, you'l LOVE these!' Er, no. No Facebook, I won't.

Revisit to a Redditor from a couple weeks back, he's still out there giving advice which is hilarious considering his recent posts shared on here: "There is such a thing as too much gear" AKA "Mom and Dad got mad and made me send it all back"

I've sold a few greeting cards, time to go all in with this https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/comments/73vyfz/i_currently_use_my_travel_photos_to_make_products/ This is the same guy we've commented on a few times in this thread already. Here's his 500px site: https://500px.com/chrismohindrooart This guy is on the spectrum, right? If it wasn't for him admitting to some bizarre poop fetish in his past comments I'd almost believe he's a primitive AI given the weird way he forms his thoughts.

The guy is definitely not in the same dimension as the rest of us. Internet diagnoses are generally a bad idea but I'd be surprised if he wasn't on the spectrum. I used to hang out on a forum where the infamous Ulilillia used to post. He had a lot of the same 'tells' and posting tics as this guy.

He first appeared in this thread because he had an Indiegogo campaign to raise money so that he could rent a $50k Hasselblad for his family trip to a park, with a 5d4 as a backup body for 'pictures that weren't worth using the medium format camera'. His gear rental list was basically a full range of top-of-the-line stuff with a retail value close to $200k. He's fixated on a weird vision of what he thinks a successful photographer should be and that apparently includes a retail storefront in a local mall. He's also at a super fundamentalist Christian university and posts about his scat fetish under his real name.
