A moment of reflection on the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks

A moment of reflection for 9-11

On this date which will live in infamy for decades, if not centuries, let us put aside our petty differences and honor the men and women who gave all on September 11th, 2001.

This is a day to reflect on the sacrifices of the firemen, police officers, and other officials who gave their lives and health on that day, to safeguard the public's safety. We will remember

them for generations.

 On the other hand, what of the mental (and real) masturbators currently on Flickr, photo.net, or earth shots? Those who jack off to "comments & critiques"?

Who will remember Marc Adamus, Ryan Dyar, Steve Sieren, or Miles Morgan 20, even 10 years from now? No one! They have not contributed anything of any value to society, only tearing down & destroying whatever they touch, merely for the purpose of glorifying and honoring themselves on meaningless online venues. In some ways, they resemble the destructive terrorists who struck at our country on that date.

 

 The THUGS & MORONS we talk about today will have moved on to running scams in other areas, leaving the twisted wreckage of the photography industry behind them. Because the scam-based workshop fervor will only result in the utter eradiction of professional photography as we know it. And these losers just don't care!

 Even if you are a THUG or MORON, don't post on Flickr  or any of the other hundreds of forums you salivate over. Honor the fallen heroes who gave all on this date ten years ago. Shut your trap, stop writing self-glorifying bullshit on your Jack Brauer websites, and reflect on real heroes, unlike yourself, who are so self-absorbed that you would destroy the livelihoods of thousands of photographers for "comments & critiques".

 Cowards like Marc or Ryan would have run the other way from the WTC disaster, probably to quickly post the shots on Flickr so they could be "famous, bitches!". There will be plenty of time tomorrow, and the days after, to masturbate to your meaningless photo.net comments.
