I don't really spend enough time on this hobby recently. I think I have to slip back into it. I just wanted to give you something to look at. This is one of my photos I don't think got enough views.

Rude Poeple and the internet

I had the rudest experience this morning with my flickr account. Someone created a flickr account just to leave a rude comment on one of my photos. I'm shocked that someone would waste the time that it takes to create an account just to say some stupid shit.

I take portraits and glamour shots. of women. I usually they've some degree of modeling exprience. Some of the women I take photos of are my personal fetish. Some would call them fat or plump or chubby women.

This is my fetish and the thing that I like. I don't know to much about women except they should be soft and smell good. I don't think there is anything softer then a plump happy woman. It doesn't really matter what I like but that's the long and the short of it.

My rude commenter wrote that I had to be kidding if all the ppl that commented on the photo had to be kidding to think she was beautiful. Well fuck you mr rude commenter. I do think she's sexy. And I don't care about your opinion.

The whole thing that really burns my ass about this is that I went to find my rude person and what did I find. No longer active on Flickr. Like what I won't want to track his loser ass down. It was only posted for like 2 hours. That's some fucking bullshit.

These shots were taken by my friend Neal Prescott. I met him at work. He always took such beautiful photos. I wanted someway to show how much I loved his shots. So I took a shot of his shots.

All I can say is "Hey man nice shot".

Merry Christmas

i found this photo on flickr in my photo group beautiful women (limit 5 per day .

My photo group is something I don't think many people get. This person they get it. It's really quite simple. All women are beautiful just because they're women.

It has out grown it's porn and pinup girl roots even though sometimes there is still porn and pinup girl shots and now it's a portrait of women group. This black and white here and the lighting simply rocks.

Am I ummmm Cocky???

I'm an avid flickr guy. I go look at all the pictures to come up with new ideas. Ok Steal someone Else's and attempt to make them my own. I read all the discussions to learn some new stuff. Or maybe give some knowledge that I've gotten from the same place. Normal stuff right.

I'm a little grumpy some times when I read the posts. What size Lens should I use to shoot the wedding? What is your ISO setting? How long can you hold the camera still? I just hate these questions.

I know what you're thinking you where new once. Hell I still think I'm new with a lot to learn but I always hated the questions because I didn't like the answers either. The canon 70 - 200 L IS is what you shoot a wedding with. That lens costs about as much as a wedding photo job or a really cheap used car. I never get out of ISO 100 because I have fast lenses. And you don't shoot at night. or you do shoot at night but use a tripod. I never hold my camera I use a tripod and this 200 dollar remote thingie that cooks eggs on Sunday.

The truth is there is no right answer to any of those questions. For example the wedding question. Simply what lenses do you own? How close can you get to the action? Are you the main wedding photographer that's going to be there? All those are important. If I'm going to a wedding and I'm going to take a few pictures, my 70-300 is a good choice because I ain't moving from my seat just getting some shots. If I'm the princeable photographer I'm using my 18-50 2.8 Tamron lens and I'm going to be moving around and pretty close. My iso depends on what I see when I line up the shot and the camera does the metering. I can hold the camera for about 1/4 a second. so when the 4 shows up I breath very slowly and take my shot.

Good I hate those questions.
