The hypocrisy of THUGS & MORONS who are not professional photographers, but are spoilsports simply looking to “get in” on what they believe is a huge opportunity for fame and recognition in the world of photography.

 The hypocrisy of THUGS & MORONS who are not professional photographers, but are spoilsports simply looking to “get in” on what they believe is a huge opportunity for fame and recognition in the world of photography. 

 The same theme repeats itself over and over in the photography world. The THUGS & MORONS load their $5000 Jack Brauer/ Wide Range Galleries websites with loads of bullshit about how passionate they are, how wilderness is so important to them, and how they spend every waking moment thinking about nothing but photography (whatever).  You will notice that most of this crap starts sounding the same. Why? When there is no real passion for wilderness, photography, or art, these losers are guessing at what they think people want to read on their websites. They’re not very bright or imaginative, so when one liar (say, Marc Adamus), writes a juicy bit of bullshit on his website, every other loser out there takes notice, and copies it to their own sites. 

 But we digress. Back to that hypocrisy we were talking about. Anyway, we were talking about how these websites are filled with lies about passion, but when you get to the commerce part of it all, everything falls apart. A race to the bottom is evident here. Where the one part of their site waxes poetic about their “fierce passion” for photography, you notice that obviously the photography isn’t worth very much in their own opinion. Most of these losers can’t wait to basically give it away! We’ve seen losers offering 20x30’s (which is a pretty big print) for as low as $100. One loser we found actually boasted about taking a small loss on every print just so he could “get his stuff out there”. Maybe he’s counting on volume to make a profit (laughter). What we mean by this is that these turds aren’t passionate about photography or wilderness or nature or any of that stuff. They just want to be able to run to the nearest forum and boast about how they sold an image to Time Magazine for the kingly sum of 25 cents, or how they sold a print (limited edition, of course) for $50 and “took a loss” just to “get their stuff out there”. As if selling stuff at a loss will somehow, one day, lead to enormous success or public exposure.

Marc Adamus loving thugs and morons at a popular THUG location

 

 So it’s funny how they all bullshit about how proud they are of their “photography” and how “passionate” they are, but the prices don’t reflect that at all. But that’s because there is no passion or pride at work here. It’s assembly line photography. Go to Art Wolfe or Galen Rowell’s site, see image you want to steal, spend a lot of money stealing it as perfectly as possible, then sell it for as little as possible. After all, if you tried selling it for a market price, buyers would much rather just purchase the image or print from the person who actually made that composition to begin with. 

 And after you sell it, go run to Flickr/Photo.net/photosig and scream about how you’ve “made it” and bask in the accolades from all the other losers on there. It’s that simple. We dare any thug reading this blog to provide a reasoned response to these charges. We guarantee that one won’t be forthcoming. Instead, threats will be made, seething rage will be on display, and vows of revenge will be made. Exactly what you’d expect when dealing with a bunch of thugs. Funny how that works.

Gas prices and professional photography vs TERRORIST thugs & morons who give their stolen images away for “credit” or “fame”

Rising gas prices threaten THUGS & MORONS

Now that gas prices are headed to the sky, you will see much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the Internet, where losers bemoan that their fame-lusting obsession has become that much more expensive lately. Well, to put it bluntly, who cares?

Here’s a picture of the type of imbecile we’re talking about:

 This bottom feeding scum will never be a professional photographer, or even close. He will never be an Ansel Adams. He will never be an Art Wolfe. He will be a rodent, scurrying in the underbrush, stealing the compositions of real photographers, and then scurrying to the nearest WIFI signal to “share” his new “trophy” with his loser buddies on Flickr/photosig.com/photo.net. He is the type of imbecile who gleefully uploads stolen copies of Art Wolfe images to istockphoto, and who loftily opines that “photography is not a viable career path anymore”, whenever someone points out his terrorism. 

 Anyway, with that in mind, why would we care that these losers are complaining about gas prices? Here’s a hint buddy…stop trying to be a photographer! You never will be, ever! Save yourself a lot of money by stopping the terrorism. Real photographers don’t have day-jobs to subsidize selling images for 25 cents like this piece of shit can. Look how ugly this loser is, and and how stupidly he’s grinning, no doubt in anticipation of abusing himself to the “comments and critiques” he’s getting tonight. 

 These THUGS and MORONS deserve no sympathy as the price of commodities go up. It’s like suicide bombers complaining about the rising cost of dynamite! While real photographers have to pay the $4 a gallon and then try to sell their images (assuming the composition isn’t just stolen and dumped on Flickr for pennies) for enough to feed their kids and pay for the roof over their heads, these THUGS can go sell their images for 25 cents on Istockphoto and then chortle about “getting recognition” when some magazine snaps up a $500 cover shot for a quarter. Pure terrorism!

Steve Sieren lie #1: “My images are recognized internationally for their color and sharpness”

Steve Sieren lie #1

Steve Sieren lie #1: “My images are recognized internationally for their color and sharpness”

 What a howler! Some of you know who Steve Sieren is. He’s a loser who used to blubber on Fred Miranda every time Marc Adamus would post an “image” there. “Marc, is the 5D really that good?” “Marc, can I jerk off to one of your prints?” (OK, we made up that last one). 

 Anyway, Steve Sieren has created a lot of bullshit on his website. Such as the one-liner in our title, “My images are recognized internationally for their color and sharpness”. Oh really? Any proof of this? Of course not. Like any good little Marc Adamus zombie, Steve Sieren learned well the lessons of “just making shit up”. And he’s applied it liberally. This lie is beneath contempt. There isn’t a single shred of evidence for this ridiculous claim. Unfortunately, the naïve might be taken in by the flowery bullshit on this website. Which is why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to expose this lying imbecile. Our first Steve Sieren Public Service Announcement. Don’t thank us; we’re just doing our job:

Are you a loser who wants to feel good about yourself and run around pretending to be a dainty little artist? Why then, just take a Ryan Dyar photography workshop!

Are you a loser who wants to be famous?

 Everyone knows that Marc Adamus (and Ryan Dyar) is a “dainty little painter” who loves comparisons to Ansel Adams. Everyone also knows that Ansel would surely use a DSLR camera, HDR, blending exposures, and more, at least according to bogus magazines like Outdoor Photographer, which are written strictly for all the MORONS and LOSERS who think that buying 5 grand of photography gear and stealing other photographers’ images is a guaranteed recipe for becoming an “artist”, or at the very least, a highly “respected” "internet celebrity" on Flickr/photosig/photo.net/whatever. 

 This Loser (Ryan Dyar) can sell you a workshop that can make you famous Don't you want to be faaaammmmoouuus!

 So anyway, if you want to be an “artist” too, you need a photo workshop! After you fork over the cash and take someone’s bogus workshop, you will magically be transformed into an artist with a “keen eye” (laughter) and a “passion” (more laughter) for wilderness (howls of laughter).

So go ahead and take that Ryan Dyar workshop. It won’t set you back the cool $1000+ that a Marc Adamus photo tour will, but you’ll learn enough to deserve the little “pro” next to your name on Flickr. And that’s all you really want. As a shallow, completely worthless human being, you’ve devolved to the point where unless you’re damaging the livelihoods of other people, ie, real professional photographers, you just can’t get no satisfaction. You want to go take your bullshit photos, (always stolen from real photographers), post them on Flickr as if you own them, and wait for the “comments & critiques”, your swollen member in hand. 

 These Ryan Dyar workshops will also teach you, importantly, to offer your own “workshops”. Just copy whatever Ryan “taught” you and do it yourself. You will not make money from your photos, after all. You will probably end up giving them away, a lot of the time, in no small way motivated by your hate of real photographers who actually manage to sell photos and make a living from this. So workshops is where it’s at for a scum LOSER like yourself. And Ryan Dyar workshops are an affordable way to start out as a photo fraud. You’ll one day get to Kevin Mcneal’s level, when you’ll qualify for a workshop with The One, The Only, The Famous Marc Adamus. And then all you have to do is label all your photos as “taken on a workshop with Marc Adamus!”. Instant success!
