Ever wonder what these LOSERS (ie, Miles Morgan, Darren White, Ryan Dyar, and more, look like when they're out "photographing"? Their bullshit stories on their blogs & websites would have you believe that they were dropped in the middle of a temperate rain forest, fighting bears, swollen rivers, and swallow-sized mosquitoes, all so they can bring back an image to "share" with you, the public.
The reality is a little different (of course). These losers love those 1/4 mile interpretive trails that lead to the views popularized by Art Wolfe or David Muench. You see, they think they can be famous, too, if they just steal the compositions of other, real photographers, and place them on dreamstime or istockphoto:
Thugs & Morons at work, desperately copying compositions so they can hurry home and post it on photo.net.
Look at these LOSERS in the photo.You'd think this was the checkout line at Wal-Mart or something. Yes, that's what it's come to! A dozen LOSERS lined up to greedily take some cliched composition so they can run home, post it on photosig or photo.net, and abuse themselves to all the hallelujahs. Afterwards, they can go throw it on dreamstime and then write lies about how they are full-time professional landscape photographers, as if that is some kind of noble occupation, like firefighter or soldier.
When you read stories (on the Internet) about glorious adventures and dangerous conditions that led to some "photograph", ignore them! These stories are almost always lies. Real adventure stories are published in magazines and verified by the other participants, who usually had point & shoot cameras that prevent enormous amounts of image photoshopping. Fake stories are like those of Marc Adamus canoeing upstream on a powerful river for ten miles, then crawling on his hands and knees for 60 miles to take a generic image that could have well been right off the road, for all you know.
