ParticipantSweet little Bailey, I’m 6’2″ 240# you sure you want to try me?
ParticipantEvery time I run an ad in a certain group, this fauxtog pops one in right after.
I can’t believe people pay for her garbage.*sigh*
ParticipantThe really scary part is Lapsey is located just a couple hours away from me. ~shiver~
And I really like how she has no concept of grammar.ParticipantOkay, so this IS scary, she’s got a certificate from Kennesaw State University in photography.
She’s also a step above your usual fauxtog as she’s got a tax license.ParticipantA couple of years ago, my parents were visiting from Long Island and I took them to Kerry Park in Seattle to see the most famous view of the city.
There was a fauxtog with a point and shoot doing a “save the date” shoot… with a P&S.
The “tog” kept saying she couldn’t get the couple in focus because her camera kept focusing on the skyline. I could see the couple was getting upset.
Frustrated because I was trying to get some shots and this woman kept moving in front of me, I said I’d shoot the photo and email it to them. It took me about 15 minutes and I sent it out from my hotel that night.
I got a thank you and booked their wedding the next day 🙂ParticipantOH
MY
GAWD
My poor eyes….. hurts…..bad
ParticipantWho needs LSD? Just get photos enhanced by her!

I just took a look at your flickr stream and you have a good eye for sports, I would have easily used several of your photos in my newspaper.
You may want to approach your local paper and offer to shoot as a stringer. It would would give you a chance to rub shoulders with pro photogs and get feedback from editors. Most PJs are happy to give pointers to “kids”, I know I got plenty of advice from them when I was in high school, along with brutal critiques from my editor. (I started stringing when I was about 16)I’d like to see more of your sports stuff, so I’ve added you as a contact on flickr. Feel free to ask questions, especially when it comes to sports/action, since that’s where my first photography love is. Just so you know I’m no poser, I’ve taken first and third in sports photography in the National Newspaper Association contest.
ParticipantParticipantYou’ve got to love small towns.
A number of years ago, the local “pro” lab really screwed up a couple of my orders (back in my film days). Lost negs, wrong prints, wrong crops, it was a total mess. I refused to pay, so it wound up in court, yadayadayada.
The owner of the lab is also the photo judge at our county fair. To say the least, my work, didn’t do so well. sadly, the jerk took it out on my wife, an amateur, as well.
A couple of years ago, I had been doing some underwater shots of my grandson and handed the camera to my wife so I could play with him a bit. She got some really nice shots and decided to enter one in the fair… under her maiden name.
She won best of show and when she showed up at the judge’s lab to claim her prize, he was pissed, lol.
Ironically, I’ve been contracted to shoot the portraits of the 4H and FFA kids and animals at that same fair for a number of years.ParticipantWe Americans are so used to seeing sanitized photos in the news. You should see what is printed in other countries, it can be brutal to look at.
I was a longtime PJ, covered my share of death and destruction, and sometimes I really wanted to print graphic photos just so people could see how ugly death can be. Especially teens, a good dose of reality might make them think twice.
ParticipantSo THAT’S what I’m fighting! Military spouses. We have an A.F. base near here and there are a ton of $40hr sessions offered.
