he says i have a narrow view of photography
well actually i'm narrow, down the portrait path, but i am open to new ideas, not 1/2 f*ck images.
why the f*ck do i wanna look at 1/2 f*ck event / food / insect shots when i have no interest in that in the first place?

i personally think that everyone has their own eye. if u like photos, as a beginner... COPY
then when u get better, STEAL.
Damn right.
Here's what we should look out for, when the old birds talk, we listen. The others talk, they may have points, and if it's constructive and it makes sense. Heck, why not.
One bloody true quote in the visual design industry.

Yah, looks like yesterday's stock market rally has fizzled out, and I keep reading in the financial papers that we haven't quite hit rock bottom yet. Hang in there with your investments, though--the Obamessiah has promised to pull us out of this slump!
i rather not. judging from his replies, he is quite... camera geek level, so no point.my investments dropped 40%.
how long more do i have to tahan??? people in SG all transferred funds, i think i'm one of the kukus who hang onto the global fund... hoping US will pull out of it -

Narrow? I don't think it's called narrow. More like you have a focus and interest. You wanna use the term narrow?
He's narrow. All he knows are photography terms. What about the 'eye' for visuals. What about the end result.
If he's taking a sports shot, is he gonna tinker all the bloody tools to get the perfect shot? He'll never get a single shot, if he does, it'll be bad.
Heck, throw him a camera. He'll never be able to grasp it.

crap snap thrives on negativity
and the positives are not helping people improve either
its like they just say "nice shot" then they put a thumbs up... to a photo that clearly be improved.
but by giving that kind of positive feedback, the fella has a higher chance of feeling like he has "reached the level"

I think they'll just crumble, crash and burn if they recieved really good constructive criticism. Pack up their bags, sell their cameras and never touch photography again.

I had an interesting talk with my financial advisor last week. He mentioned that, historically, market turnarounds usually happen not long after companies trim their workforce through massive layoffs to reduce their payroll burden. He predicted a surge in layoff announcements within the next few months, to be followed by a gradual economic recovery as companies return to profitability.What he said may be true, but it doesn't ameliorate the anguish of the common investor who sees that his portfolio is currently worth about half of what it was two years ago...

few months~ by that time... 80% loss?

If it ever comes to that, think of it as a buying opportunity!

I'm back from dinner and the rendering is about 85% done. It's taking up so much memory that when I shake the mouse to activate the screen, it's almost time for it to go back to sleep awake when it finally lights up.

And I'm now faced with that question that appears on the forums so often - what kind of present do I get for a friend's birthday? She's from Mexico and we're not that close.

Gosh, that took 1 hour and 40 minutes! The overnight estimation was way off the mark then. It was based on the worst-case scenario, which happened to my other classmate.
