My fellow goons. I plan to compete in, and win, the Formula 1 racing series this year. All I need supplied from you are two multi-million dollar race cars, a highly skilled and experienced support team, sundry supplies such as tires and fuel, a helmet, and a racing suit. I’ve already ordered the vinyl tear-offs for my visor.

He even picked out the shutter cables! There are so many to choose from, with so many subtly critical distinctions between them.

If he had the budget, he'd be one of those Leica-fondlers groveling at the Shrine of Cartier-Bresson (while still doing landscape photography).

Well, you see, the objective quality of the photo goes up with the more impressive gear you have, so a shot with a dslr (a filthy unnatural digital format that does not have as much integrity or artistic value) will never be worth thousands of dollars vs. a shot with an expensive large format film camera and a 600 dollar light meter printed on a large piece of metal.

Actually who am I to judge - he’s probably happier in that fantasy land than I am in reality.

It sounds like he's bought lenses too. Which probably means that he's already in for a few grand and he still doesn't have an actual camera (or any idea of what to do with it when he does).

I think he could be in for just under a kilobuck on the low end, but who are we kidding? He's maxed out his Paypal Credit for final-generation APO lenses and he's hiding them under his bed so his parents can't crush his dreams by making him send them back again.

He's not really "Large Format Guy". He's just some guy with Aspergers/Autism that posts these weird reddit posts like his recent large format one. I think his previous post was about opening some kind of photography-related store in a nearby mall where he would sell his work. Before that I remember a post where he outlined about $50,000 worth of gear he was going to rent for very very specific shots in a national park trip he was planning (ie. "I will use the 5d3 and a Canon 16-35mm v2 lens with a Lee 6-stop filter to take a picture of this mountain at 6am"). Then before that I think he first popped up selling his Christmas cards and we all made fun of his pictures because they were crazy bad.

Also, his reddit history reveals he loves scat porn. A lot. It's not really relevant to his photography, but it is a nice little cherry on his cake.

Most of his Reddit history is posting in various Libertarian/Austrian economics subs. The rest is Ulilillia Does Photography and Also has a Scat Fetish. he goes to one of the crazy Evangelical colleges IIRC.

He has some scrub tier Nikon and thinks that the reason he's not an incredibly famous photographer is that he needs expensive gear. He had a Gofundme to financ renting a bunch of gear which was basically the stuff that you'd pick if you knew nothing about photography but were browsing a catalogue of crazy expensive gear - digital Hasselblad as his main camera and a 5DIV with about 30k of L glass for stuff that 'wasn't worth taking on MF'. The Gofundme failed but he went and rented it anyway until his parents made him return it.
Then he posted some photos and they were all bad.


quote:

Ducks at Aransas Wildlife Refuge
While I was at Aransas Wildlife Refuge in March 2016, I went to a lake with ducks. This is my only good photo of the ducks.

Recently he's been asking about LF stuff. It's up to him how he spends his money of course and god knows there are a lot of people with all the gear and no idea out there, but he has a terrible habit of continually asking for advice and never actually listening to what people tell him. He also gets fixated on weird details with no regard to how important they actually are (which I guess is part of the spectrum stuff). Like here, he's talking about making 72" metal prints that he'll sell for thousands of dollars each and he's going to use a LF camera that he has no experience with to take the shot (AFAICT he has never shot analogue at all). But the part he wants help with is picking the right lightmeter.

Ah, there we go.

e: Also, that stuff with the ducks is hilarious. I'm always a bit reluctant about casting stones at someone for their photography skills since I'm new at it myself, but that picture's almost into the "Oops. poo poo. I accidentally hit the shutter button." territory.

Do you like Ansel Adams? I've been a big Group f/64 fan ever since the release of their 1932 exhibition. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was in 1932 where Ansel Adams' presence became more apparent. I think their manifesto was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on purity. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding exhibitions. Christy, take off your robe. See the brilliant ensemble shooting of Van Dyke, Adams and Weston. You can practically see every nuance of every subject. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of exposure craftsmanship, the sheer clarity, this exhibition hit a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the image in Half Dome, Apple Orchard, Yosemite. In this photograph, Ansel Adams addresses the problems of icy trees. Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico is the most moving photograph of the 1940s, about the moon, and villages. The exposure is extremely uplifting. Their compositions are as pure and clear as anything I've seen in photography. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your rear end in a top hat. Ansel Adams' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially shots like El Capitan, Winter, Sunrise and Moon and Half Dome. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Ansel Adams works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo photographer, and I stress the word photographer. This is Aperture, a great, great magazine, a personal favorite.
