One would think if that you're going to spend a bunch of time working on then/now photography you'd invest some actual effort getting the angles right instead of "gently caress it, close enough."


Ok, yeah, the name was poorly chosen and the angles aren't exact. But are we supposed to be making GBS threads on this work? Because I don't want to poo poo on this work. I dig it.

I don't know why this seems suddenly relevant in this thread, but in 2012 I was in Edmonton and a white supremacist group was holding a racist rally, and another group was holding an anti-racism counter rally. I decided to take some photos.

I kept having random Flickr people favorite some of the photos of white supremacists, and nearly all of them had profiles full of gay neo-nazi porn. Like guys in their camo jacket undone to show their ripped chest, giving a nazi salute, with a huge boner coming out of their camo pants.

Figured you guys may as well be aware of this.

I once took a photo of a co-worker of mine wearing suspenders, and tagged it as such on Flickr. And that's how I learned about suspender fetishists.

1000 processed shots for $500 is a great deal.

I charge by weight. 10 pounds of raw files for $99.95 (media not included).

Sal Cincotta is a photographer who publishes a magazine called Shutter Magazine.

Shutter Magazine holds an annual convention called Shutterfest.

Shutterfest runs a photography competition during this convention. Costs $25 for each entry, multiple entries allowed, $2000 worth of prizes up for grabs.

Who's announced as the grand prize winner of this competition? Why none other than Sal Cincotta of course!

http://shutterfest.com/image-competition-winners-gallery/

He also placed in 7 of the 16 competition categories, completely sweeping one Wedding category.

Someday, I'll be a good enough photographer to win my own photo competitions. :allears:

I'm just miffed I didn't think of it first: the easiest way to become an award-winning photographer.

I liked the "I was in my early to mid 20s! I was too young to know better!" rationalization, as well as "I hadn't had any formal training in photojournalism, so I didn't realize it was a mistake" part...as if it takes a college degree and/or several years of apprenticing to discover the ~deep secret~ that you don't wholesale clone in parts of another person's photograph and then pass it off as a.) factual and b.) your own work.

I had a classmate steal one of my photos in college. Literally. This was back in the age of proper darkrooms, so we were constantly generating a lot of testprints and almost-final prints. Those that we didn't want were tossed into a large discard bin. This girl must have fished through there to grab one of my discards (during open lab time, not class. Man, I miss access to a 24-hour darkroom). I forget what the assignment was, but we had to produce a tight series of something. I did the major bridges between Manhattan and Long Island. She did some weird jumble with a loose story to hold them together, with my Williamsburg Bridge shot in the middle of it.

She NEVER owned up. Denied everything all the way through the process that eventually got her kicked out of Pratt. Which is fantastically stupid because I had the negatives.

Anyway, liars gonna lie.

I once put a photo on Flickr of a friend of mine wearing suspenders. I tagged it 'suspenders'. It got a large number of likes. That's how I learned about suspender fetishists.

Yeah, it's a US/UK thing. What you call suspenders, we would call braces. Our suspenders are your garter belts. Stockings and suspenders are the mainstay of vintage British soft porn.

No... that's not it.

Apparently suspender (the hold your pants up kind) fetishism is a thing in the gay community.

Everybody's got a thing.
