Reply To: Where are most of the Fauxs Located?

EEK! Aarnold, those unforgettable studios ones! There are so many images with an overdone diffuse glow filter… and so many with unfortunate focusing! I would be livid if those were my wedding photos! Half of them aren’t in focus enough to be larger than an 4×6! They had one interesting ideas, but none of executed well and so few of their images are technically sound. It’s sad…

Also, does anyone else feel like “Award-Winning” is becoming to Photography what “Gourmet” has become to food? Where people just slap it on to say; “Hey, I’m on the scale from barely passable to great!”?
Think about it. How many “gourmet” box dinners or cans of condensed soup that are a hot mess do we pass by at the supermarket? Ultimately it says nothing about the product itself, it’s just marketing. I feel like the “Award Winning” title is going that way for sure… it’s disappointing that someone can submit crap to hundreds of contests and get lucky enough to squeak by with one nod of approval in their direction, then the faux takes it and runs!
