Loserphotographers.com: A quick look at the LOSER Luke Austin

A quick look at the LOSER Luke Austin.


Luke Austin, a all-around LOSER and MORON, left a sarcastic comment on our “An Analysis of LOSER/LIAR Ryan Dyar’s “about me”” article on the Loserphotographers.com blog. We figured that after this little nugget, we’d check out Luke and give him a “portfolio review”, so to speak. He’s probably been aching to have Marc do one for him anyway.

So here’s what he said:

“Ryan Dyar has officially made it!”

 

As if the fact that we’re exposing Ryan Dyar for the LOSER druggie he is will somehow make him very successful at landscape photography. Right.

Disclosure. The LOSER Luke Austin is from Australia. He should stay there, as far as we’re concerned. It’s a shame that this piece of shit flies over here to steal our images and compositions. 

Anyway, on to Luke Austin’s website. It starts off suitably enough, with a lot of pansy-ass bullshit:

“Firstly, Thank you for visiting my website”.

Yeah, whatever. Here’s his front page:

“For me photography is a form of meditation. I have to get myself in the right frame of mind to come away with successful images. In most of my images I try to not only capture what I see but also what I feel. I am interested in all forms of photography but landscape photography is where my true passion lies. I really enjoy getting out and shooting, particularly in a natural environment. I hope you enjoy viewing my images as much as I do taking them.

Landscape photography is my drug of choice. I’m hooked! By purchasing one of my prints from my online gallery ou would be supporting my healthy habit. Thank you. “

What a bunch of pansy-ass nonsense! First of all, Luke has no idea what a “comma” is. Here’s the rest of our analysis:

I have to get myself in the right frame of mind to come away with successful images	Does this imply that Luke Austin needs some chemical help to “get in the right frame of mind”? No wonder he knows Ryan Dyar.
In most of my images I try to not only capture what I see but also what I feel.	Yep, there’s the bogus excuse for Photoshopping the Heck out of your images. I’m a dainty little painter, please compare me to Ansel, please!
I am interested in all forms of photography but landscape photography is where my true passion lies.	No surprise there. It’s always landscape photography for the incompetent and fraudulent.
really enjoy getting out and shooting, particularly in a natural environment	The usual bullshit about Wilderness. We’re starting to get Déjà vu here.
Landscape photography is my drug of choice.	No wonder he knows Ryan Dyar.
I’m hooked! By purchasing one of my prints from my online gallery ou would be supporting my healthy habit. Thank you. “	That would be a big mistake. This LOSER knows nothing about printing or photography. Another pansy-ass bonehead who thinks owning a fancy camera and fancy printer makes someone an “artist”.

Now let’s look at his “PROFILE” page, where most of these LOSERS wax even more poetic about their enthusiasm for fame, uh, photography:

“Luke Austin is a dedicated and passionate Landscape Photographer. He spends countless hours studying the weather, waiting for the perfect scene to capture. Each of his images is a final product of patience.

Luke was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. Growing up on the coast meant Luke spent the majority of his younger years in the ocean. Surfing, in particular, contributed to the deep connection he has with the environment.

After completing environment studies Luke spent a year travelling around Australia. It was this particular journey that sparked his love for landscape photography.”

Yep, more pansy-ass bullshit from a bullshit artist who clearly studied the masters of bullshit, liars like Marc Adamus and Ryan Dyar. 

Luke Austin’s bullshit	Our commentary
“Luke Austin is a dedicated and passionate Landscape Photographer	Luke Austin is a loser who probably has rich parents. So similar to Ryan Dyar. So similar….
He spends countless hours studying the weather, waiting for the perfect scene to capture.	He does not do that. He spends countless hours jerking off to the Flickr portfolio of Ryan Dyar and Marc Adamus.
Each of his images is a final product of patience.	Each of his images is a final product of trying to copy Ryan Dyar or Marc Adamus, and a ton of Photoshop.
Luke was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. Growing up on the coast meant Luke spent the majority of his younger years in the ocean	Meaningless gibberish.
Surfing, in particular, contributed to the deep connection he has with the environment.	What a howler! Surfers don’t give a crap about the environment. Most of them, including Luke Austin, are LOSERS who smoke pot and waste their life away.
After completing environment studies Luke spent a year travelling around Australia. It was this particular journey that sparked his love for landscape photography.”	Proof that this LOSER has rich parents who fund all his obsessions and throw money at this utter failure.

Loserphotographers.com: Will the LOSERS address our critique of their thieving, copyright-violating ways?

A CHALLENGE to thieving, copyright-violating LOSERS.

 LOSERS & THUGS like Ryan Dyar, Kevin Mcneal, Adrian Klein, Floris van Breugel, Miles Morgan (especially), and others have several things in common (see here), but one thing above all:

 They are all cheats, thieves, and unrepentant scum who literally spend every waking hour working to steal other people’s work.

 They commit wholesale theft of other photographers’ work. They pat each other on the back with every successful theft. There is no remorse here, 

no guilt. This is a lawless community, a group of immoral losers and thugs who might have been highwaymen in a different time. 

 So what, exactly, is the basis for their rationalization of this theft? We’re interested in hearing it. After all, if they don’t even bother rationalizing the theft they engage in, they’re no better than the violent thugs in street gangs. Well, worse. Gangs respect each others’ property . 

 So let’s hear it. A THUG’s best explanation for the reason he thinks he can copy (steal) other people’s work and get away with it. How do you twist it around and rationalize it in your sick head? Inquiring minds want to know. 

 Ryan Dyar? Miles Morgan? Floris van Breugel? Which THUG will step up to the plate and answer us? We bet not a single one of you spineless cowards will be able to justify your actions!

Loserphotographers.com: A note about scum like Ryan Dyar and his buddies.

A note about scum like Ryan Dyar and his buddies.

Ryan Dyar and his loser buddies are peas in a pod. Despite the fact that his buddies look like run-of-the-mill losers and Ryan looks like a pot-smoking/drug sniffing loser, they are quite alike:

1.They pretend to be professional landscape photographers. In fact, Ryan insists on this “professional” designation, saying it every time he has a chance. Well, we suppose if he repeats a lie often enough….yeah, you know.  

2.They all steal constantly from other photographers, most notably Marc Adamus. This is copyright violation and theft. To date, we have never received a response or comment in justification of their copyright violations. That’s kind of like stealing a car and having the luxury of not responding to the court’s summons.

3.They all form their bogus support groups on sites like Flickr, where they pat each other on the back and arrange to take each others’ workshops. 

4.They all buy the “pro” membership on Flickr for the sole purpose of having the abbreviation “pro” next to their Flickr monikers. Yes, these losers are really that superficial and shallow.

5.They all either have excellent jobs or leech off of well-to-do parents (Ryan Dyar). Claims to the contrary are false. Of course Ryan Dyar is not going to admit that his parents pay all his bills. Who would? 

6.They are all obsessed with fame and being recognized for their imagined photographic talent.

7.They all call each other some of the best photographers alive (a completely false claim) on bullshit sites like Flickr.

8. And most importantly of all, they are all the most craven of cowards, thieving losers who will probably never address a single point made in this post.

Loserphotographers: A response to a couple questions in a comment, PT2

 A response to a couple questions in a comment, PT2

On our feature “An analysis of LOSER/LIAR Ryan Dyar’s fake interview in Aperture Academy, Part one” (available here), we got a comment from a user called “Corey”. It’s quite long, so we won’t reproduce it in full here. You can see it at the link above. However, he raises some points (many of which are designed to denigrate our work, actually) that we’d like to address:

Part 2 of 2. 

“I’m also quite interested in the descriptions in this post [links to http://www.loserphotographers.com/examples_idiots.html]

Old clothes for an outdoor shoot, how very unprofessional. After all, suits are made for trudging through rivers, right? Not that any self respecting professional would own a suit, everyone would think that daddy bought it.

  This LOSER didn’t need a suit, or old clothes. And the area where he was shooting was the dam of Trillium Lake at Mt Hood (a favorite of LOSERS & THUGS, since you only have to walk about twenty feet). There is certainly no “trudging through rivers” involved here. No, the LOSER shown at that link is simply a fat, unkempt SLOB. Art Wolfe certainly doesn’t wear ripped t-shirts on his shoot, but maybe they simply don’t make any outdoor clothing in the TRIPLE-X size this bozo would have required. 

 Regarding the “suit” comment: Actually, if Ryan Dyar wore a suit and looked like a decent human being with no tattoos, long hair, or stupid expressions, no one would suspect that his “daddy” had bought everything he owns. And yes, his daddy did buy everything he’s got. Don’t believe otherwise. 

“I also don’t really understand how taking photographs makes someone a homosexual? I can’t say I’ve ever taken a photo and wanted to “rub one out” to another guy taking a photo. But that may be because we’re from different eras?”

 This is a good one. At this point, when Corey made this comment, we’ve never actually talked about homosexuality and THUG LOSERS who love Marc Adamus, so he sort of pulled this one out of his ass, if you pardon the pun. 

 But anyway, it so happens that real men have hobbies enjoyed by other real men. Taking pictures isn’t one of those hobbies. In fact, when you combine the thousands in camera gear, the enormous expense and time involved in this obsession, you realize it isn’t a hobby at all. It’s a fake attempt to look like a real business. We call this Cargo Cult Photography (we’ll write about this soon).

 Anyway, most of the LOSERS you will see on Flickr are effeminate losers, running around with their cameras, screaming “look at me, I’m an artist!”. It stands to reason that homosexuality may be more prevalent in this statistical group.  Of course, many times these morons are jerking off to the fame Marc Adamus enjoys, not necessarily Marc Adamus himself. After all, Marc is 5’6”, weights 150 pounds, and has a small penis. Not much to jerk off to there. 

 Poor Corey. He really tried his best to embarrass us, but failed miserably, and implicated himself in the process. Better luck next time, Corey.
