I agree. This one in particular reminds me of one of my own efforts:  The Undecided 18 by Execudork, on FlickrThere's something strangely appealing about shooting through dirty glass when you're good and drunk. \/\/\/ I just read that whole thing out loud, with a pretentious accent, to my GF and she yelled "STOP" and threw things at me.

xzzy posted:The secret is to stop using flickr. They're pretty good with the actual image hosting part of their job but the community blows rear end. This is pretty much how I use flickr. I'm way too lazy to do anything else with the 9000+ images (yes, all are crap) I've got up there, and other than checking my stats a couple of times a month and favouriting-then-forgetting pictures from other Dorkroomers, I don't use any part of the flickr "community". Yahoo bought flickr with the express purpose of turning it into an image-based social network site, despite the fact that Facebook 1) exists and 2) hosts more photos than all other image-hosting sites on the internet combined. There are lots of ways to use flickr, but they all boil down to two key features, which any half-decent image hosting site should have by default: you can put up a picture in a place you can find it again, and you can write stuff underneath your picture, including links and other basic features of internet-ness. Some people toss a few thousand photos up and then paste links into other places (like me, posting my stuff in the Dorkroom and to my blog or facebook). Some people put up a small number of photos and write essays to go with them. And some people try to turn the weak community on flickr into their own little fetish-dungeon, and endlessly browse for pictures of animal anuses.

Mido posted:http://blog.flickr.net/en/2015/12/01/flickrs-top-25-photos-in-2015/ Is that the photographer in the reflection in the window? Where did this idea come from that you have to be looking away from your camera and away from what you're shooting in order to make a great shot? lovely "amazing!!11!!!!1!" photos and making-of-lovely-amazing-photos series often seem to show this.

feigning interest posted:Fav a stranger's work and they most likely will at least look at your work out of curiosity and may even reciprocate the action (like/follow/comment) out of simple politeness. Optimistic view: this guy is a lurker around here, and happens to like what Dorkroomers are doing. That's not necessarily mutually-exclusive with the idea (well supported by evidence at this point) that he's trolling for reciprocal, asymmetrical popularity.

A good portion of what was in that old mock thread were momtographers. Stay-at-home mothers with children newly at school who suddenly have some free time, so they sell their photography services to their friends who are in similar situations. My guess is all of them eventually claimed to "not have time for it" anymore.

I am hopelessly nerdy and easily amused, so I searched a M:tG database for cards Noah Bradley was the artist for. Your Amusement May Vary: Drown in Sorrow Fade into Antiquity Forgotten Cave Pinnacle of Rage Spelltwine ("Spell Whine") Art school gives you more than just skills, though, right? Like, a decent art school degree should come with contacts and a pile of "soft skills" that will help you land a decent job or set up yourself as a freelancer, I expect. I found that Medium article (aside: Medium is such a crapshoot. Some good stuff there, buried under mountains of shyte) and Noah Bradley's Art Camp. quote:Will my work be critiqued?

My favourite is the one of the groom facing away from the camera, pissing against that tree. The groom's hair isn't really the photog's fault, but slapping that big watermark all over the photos that are out-of-focus or show one or both of the people with a dumb look on their faces is entirely the photog's fault.

If I understand it, his plan is 1. Go to Big Bend National Park, ready to shoot photos but without a camera. 2. Get money to rent a truckload of gear ($4000 to rent everything for a week - he's going to buy nothing). 3. Shoot photos, make them into greeting cards and similar products 4. Sell these items to the same people who already gave him money - they get a small discount! On something he has full control over the price. I can't fault him for lack of ambition. And I appreciate every opportunity I get to laugh at a completely delusional business plan. EDIT That loving Guy Again posted:After weeks of trial and error, I have completed the website so I can start selling the Christmas and holiday cards. It has taken me several hours to work on this.

Saves you fussing with lenses and maybe missing some action while rooting in your bag. The gopro wasn't running. He had the setup ready to go for his end-of-parade BASE jump from the Snoopy balloon onto the float with the paper-mache Statue of Liberty on it.

That's a good point. He's working in a series of short-term partnerships, not just contracts - each partner supplies something and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It's all about the T&A here. She provides the T, he provides the A

The funniest part of that (too me) is that Polaroid made 135 format film, regular black-and-white stuff not self-developing, and I can believe somebody finding an old Polaroid camera and a pile of 135 Polaroid film and tossing them on Craigslist / local equivalent. But Ilford isn't even close. Go for it, Ilford makes good film and hey, free paperweight!

GrandpaPants posted:I'm too lazy to check, but does Facebook actually exert rights on the pictures you upload to Facebook? Well, that and the clearly-written-with-one-hand comments under every picture ever on Flickr showing an animal's anus. Those are "critical" in a certain kind of way. I re-examined some of my life choices after I got followed by that guy. EDIT: timely! I just paid my annual dues for my "Professional" account on Flickr. It's automatic billing so unless I'm really on the ball in the first week of March it just goes through. Whatever. I like having unlimited photostorage space.

I'm more impressed by the way that photo fits a narrative of "chaos in the oval office". Never mind the physical appearance of the people, it's the action and the facial expressions that draws me in. It's a picture of anarchy, an rear end in a top hat boss yelling shittiness at his subordinate while another hapless minion looks on in shock. How the gently caress did that get past the press office?

That, and the cultural taboo against talking about money with actual numbers. "So, about how much do you charge for a day-long product shot?" "Oh, I charge the going rate, pretty close to the average. I think it's fair and my clients do, too""OK, but how much is that?""It depends. Sometimes it's more, because, you know, I have to hire an assistant, or they have a really tight deadline""OK, but how much? Like, dollars?""It can seem like a lot, at first, yeah""$10? $100? $1000... stop me when I get close""$10? What? No. More than that."

There's at least one other Dorkroom goon who, like me, has had at least one photo that includes an animal's backside favourited by one particular animal-anus-obsessed lunatic. His* flickr is amazing. No photos by him, just a very long list of favourites, each and every one a shot that includes the anus of an animal, somewhere in frame. * I don't know this person, but I feel very confident in assuming his gender.

Every one of those photos is bad, but every one of them would make a good album cover for the right music. Just slap some stupid font and a stupider band name all over them.
