Nice to see you got a DD. Love the photo... it's been a while man. I just got a new camera a few months ago and started getting a lot more serious.

This image inspired me to go on another huge rant on my blog about prop hate. Beautiful.

i honestly think it would have more impact in color, but regardless, it is still an amazingly powerful image
π: 0 β©: 1
honestly nothing looks better in color

I agree but the way I would say it is that everything looks BETTER in B&W, instead.

"Please Do Not Politicize This Photograph In Your Comments."
Pfft ... right.
If not for the political statement there isn't much left to talk about. The photograph is poorly focused, badly framed and poorly exposed. The political statement seems to be the only reason this shot acquired a DD.

lol focus makes a shot in what world? hdr king over here talking shit on a real photographer, have fun selling images in britan? it may not be much of a technical shot but I assure you its much more interesting than anything in your gallery
π: 0 β©: 1
Ha hah, whoa ... over-react much?
I never made any claims about you or your other photography. I was just commenting on the irony of the request to not comment on the politics of the shot, when it's obviously the main focus.
Thanks for going the middle-school route and talking a bunch of mindless trash though.
I assumed, incorrectly, that you'd be able to take a little criticism. My apologies, I didn't mean to hurt your delicate feelings. I'm sure this shot will look grand on your mother's refrigerator door
Cheers

i forgot to respond to this LOL im not equipped just never under understood why anyone talks shit on photos i mean i have seen a lot of shitty photos its very rare i talk shit VERY RARE just never got why people had to take the time to comment on shit that way if you like it enough to mention something cool! if you hate it enough to comment good too always good to evoke something that is the point of art right? by the way hdr if you have done one hrd or add / subtraction in your work basically anything other than taking the picture correcting it and posting it its no longer a photograph my opinion.. hdr is graphic art not so much photography ya dig? the moniker hdr king was meant more of the idea that you have a Very different approach to photography than i do get it right the first time buy a grad nd filter get it right in camera one frame or dont call it photography im not nescicarily right or wrong here its an opinion of mine unfortunately that your type of "photography" is something for retarded computer geeks get out in the streets take some photos

I tried to make it all the way through this, but honestly the butchering of the English language made it difficult to figure out exactly what you were trying to say. I'm not saying that as a jab ... I honestly have no idea what you're on about.
One thing I do understand is that you don't like HDRs. However, I'm not sure what this ignorant blanket generalization has to do with me, specifically. Less than half the work in my gallery are HDRs. Just because you can't tell the difference isn't my problem. Maybe you should reevaluate your "knowledge" of correct exposures?
I also don't see the point in acting like you're some kind of purist. If you shoot digital and edit in Photoshop you've already gone into the realm of "retarded computer nerds." Pretending you're a traditionalist only makes you look like a poser.

lol i am what i am i claim nothing your work sucks. my work dosent you are a hater yes i suck at punctuation
π: 0 β©: 2
Heh, I just checked your website. Maybe you can explain how a wedding photographer has such a huge ego? Seriously. You guys are the McDonalds and Burger Kings of photography...
π: 0 β©: 1
lol weddings are the bread and butter porn too come to la youd last 2 fucking minutes hdr boy
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm doing just fine in NYC, thanks very much.
Any no-talent hack can do weddings. Don't kid yourself, you know wedding photographers are the bottom-rung of this gig.
π: 0 β©: 1
lol so u take hdr pics in nyc LOL what a tard. weddings suck yes what of it what do you do for a living in nyc? sell crack or something?
π: 0 β©: 1
I see we're going to go the childish route again, huh? Ok then. Yes, I sell crack on the street corner, how'd you know? In fact, I just sold some to your mother for a "favor" last night.
π: 0 β©: 1
youre calling my profession a joke honestly i dont understand where you are coming from man i just dont get it u keep talking shit . il keep returning the favor honestly man get a life
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not calling it that, that's just how it is. Everyone in the photography industry knows that wedding/event photography is the bottom rung ... it's no secret. But whatever dude, if that's what you've got to do to keep food on the table. I guess it explains the superiority complex, at any rate.
By the way, I never said your photography sucks. I made a few critiques about this photo in particular, and your ego couldn't handle it, so you freaked and started bashing my photography like a whiny drama queen. Then things went from there...
π: 0 β©: 1
whats the top rung of photography?
π: 0 β©: 0
Ha hah, alright then. You keep telling yourself that.
I work in the professional photography industry, and am usually at the big shows, so I'm sure I'll bump into you at some point when you actually make it in this field
π: 0 β©: 1
big shows? like art photography do u live in a dumpster?
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh, and incidentally, not even half my shots are HDRs ... sorry that you're unable to tell the difference. I guess that's the sign of a "real photographer" though?

I just love this so much. To me, this picture is a perfect demonstration piece. Her expression in contrast to the humor on the sign is... Just perfect.

A very influencial photo, great work!
Why is it that teenagers can get married but Gay couples cant? Its becuase of all the influences that normal people get from the 'higher-ups' and other closed sources... So what? Live life as you want to, not by how others push-upon you.
if that didnt make sense...sorry

Ya know, I was gonna say that they could have gotten more lighting on the subject's face, but then I thought about it, and actually it works with the statement of the photo. It's as if she's fading into the background; her wishes being forgotten and overlooked.

yeah nothing says environmental portrait like a blinding unnatural flash
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, no, I was just gonna say you could have used a different shutter or iso speed, but I changed my mind and decided it works the way it is.

I really appreciate this. (Especially "wifey" that's the best) I wish we didn't need to have another civil rights battle. Great shot!
π: 0 β©: 0
So...did this get a DD for actual artistic talent, or just because some higher-up agreed with the political statement it's trying to make?
π: 0 β©: 4
hard to say honestly. either way hating is easy
π: 0 β©: 1
What makes you think I'm hating anyone? It's dA who's being exclusive sir.
π: 0 β©: 0
..because they agree with the political statement, do u have any problem?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I would, if that were the case (which the photographer has made clear isn't). I'm of the opinion that DDs should be chosen for the effort and talent that went into creating the piece, not because the administrator wants to push a certain agenda.
π: 0 β©: 1
were you there taking photos?.. then shut the fuck up?
π: 0 β©: 1
How does that matter, precisely? My problem is that, no matter how poor or excellent a given piece of art is, it is more prone to being awarded a DD if it pushes an idea that an administrator agrees with. The art doesn't matter, the message does. That's not okay, especially on a website that professes to be about art, not politics.
