obviously, the guy can not bear with criticism very well. Although when it's his turn, he can be harsh enough...
But he has good photos. The text...well... you don't have to be good in everything, right?

Indeed, although I don't know that we do any differently from time to time. 😀 Everyone likes to defend their own turf.

He's a sarcastic guy. For the most part I think he was flattered by the attention. You have to admit, some of the responses he got about his Street Photography PDF were pretty funny. 🙂

 

[Pherdinand]

I agree with that.
However from the pdf itself and only from that, he seems like a ****ing arrogant asshole, honestly. Somebody that i'm not sure i'd enjoy meeting on the street.
So probably i'm wrong, one can't judge based on a few pages of blah blah, but that's all i know about him 😀

As to his comment on "backing up" the words with good images... Another weird idea. You don't have to be a great cook, you still can recognize and enjoy good food.

I agree in principle - but when dealing primarily with an audience of photographers - it's nice to see someone expressing an opinion that does have something to show for how they arrived at it.

Not required, and certainly not a reason to lambast said opinion. But certainly nice. 😀

From one blogger to another!
after-all we're all blogging...Some think they are better bloggers(or Photogs) than others, so be it.

John, he's reacting to the negative comments he received here on his piece on street photography.

I'm glad he placed links to galleries. Other than Beniliam, everyone who criticised his article is a poor photographer, and everyone who supported him is a good photographer. Weird how that works.

I think someone had his feelings hurt.

well ... mate ... i'm SURE you're not a very good cook either, right?

all he's gotta do is stroke his Leica a little, whisper sweet nothings to it, and he'll be ok :/

in your case, though, i think i got it right! 😉

[FrankS]

Whatever man.

 

[Pherdinand]

well, sure not, mate, but i can make the best goulasch in this whole country! How'bout that?

Oh and I can piss higher as well, LOL, Joe- take it easy, it's not good for your heart.

 

[Chaser]

Eh, no reason for anyone to get too heated over someone's blog.

Joe, please do not delete this thread prematurely, it is not out of hand, yet. I find your need to micromanage the forum troubling, esp. in light of your recent comments about being "positive" and the "invisible" thread.

People need to vent their feelings, and Chris Weeks' article and ensuing discussions are thought provoking--with regard to the nature of street photography, equipment fetishism, how to construct an internet persona, and on and on. Please let it continue.
