Alan Browne wrote: Today, most all photographers have a website to showcase their work and to provide contact for their customers That just shows your ignorance. Most working photographers don't have a web site, have no need of one and don't want one. They are a waste of time and effort, resulting in a great many spurious and time consuming "enquiries" and very few genuine business leads. Of course a personal web site would appear **absolutely essential** to anyone on an ego trip, like yourself. Maybe when your need to massage your ego diminishes, you will spend less time posting risible and quite useless "advice" on subjects you know less than nothing about, and more time learning the basics of photography. Only then will you achieve even a tiny amount of ability - the extremely basic ability that still eludes you at this time. You are a laugh TP and skilled at twisting meanings, if little else. You are correct that a "working photographer" who has a full time job working for some company (eg: publication) does not need a website. But YOU paint yourself here as a freelance or independant photographer who is often providing stock for various unrelated publications (calendars, etc), doing wedding and portraits, etc. That a freelance photog of this type would not have a website is laughable and just another indication that you are not what you claim. Your protests above are so much drivel and a pathetic attempt to deceive. -- --e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

Only a minority of people in general have Web sites of their own, but more than the average percentage of photographers have one. Web sites do not generate spurious inquiries in my experience. They don't necessarily generate a lot of business, but what they generate is pretty solid. Virtually all of my business comes through my Web site, but then again I'm getting about 220,000 unique visitors per month. And out of 220,000 visitors/month, how many useful inquiries? -- --e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

What's the "Leica Look"? Why, antiquated technology and a low bank balance,

For your sake I hope there is something in life - unrelated to photography - that you are good at, otherwise God help you. |

Deceitful TP. Instead of turning your attacks on me, it would behoove you to show and prove that you have any talent at all. Every time anyone asks you to post you come up with pompous reasons not to post, followed by attacks on others. Stop attacking and start defending your self declared reputation as a photographer... on that point the only way for a photographer to earn a reputation is to publish, show and post their images. You are unproven. Defend yourself the only way that has any meaning: photos. Post your work TP, 'cause otherwise everything you write is empty and meaningless, most especially your attacks on others. -- --e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

You are a nothing, a nobody who thinks he is somebody, someone who cannot take a single decent photo or (as the SI has so conclusively proved) follow a simple brief ... and who offers the same old duff advice to anyone who is naive enough to listen. So why would I be in the slightest bit interested in what you think? As for personal attacks, I am surprised that you claim I am attacking you, when the reverse is the case. You waste *so* much effort on pointless personal attacks on me. One tenth of the time you waste on here would pay great dividends if you spent it wisely, learning the basic photographic techniques that so signally elude you. Does your stubborn pride really prevent you from seeing your own severe inadequacies as a photographer? Heavens, even Dallas Dahms could show you the way to improve your snapshots! Get shooting, Alan, and try learning for a change. |
