Bigtimers/Bigtime photographers; a very valid rant from another photographer

A great RANT from another photographer


I recently ran across a rant from another photographer. What’s he ranting about? Pretenders, huge ego assholes, who are absolutely obsessed with throwing the term “pro” around, but really just selling workshops or having a day job on the backend, which pays the bills. 

Take a look, read carefully. An amazing amount of good stuff both in the post, and the comments sections. It’s rare to find this sort of honesty in the LIE & ego-filled world of photography:

Bigtime Photographers

While he, (understandably), didn’t want to name names, I will. Here are some. You’ll recognize these assholes by their trumpet-blowing & lying on various online venues:

Marc Adamus
Mark Metternich
Kevin Mcneal
David Cobb
Adrian Klein
Ryan Dyar
Steve Sieren
Floris van Breugel
Jim Patterson


There are so many more, but these are some of the top bigtimers out there. They all make most of their “photography” money by selling bullshit workshops that don’t teach anything and are mostly designed to fill their own pockets. Worse, many of the images you see in their galleries are taken while teaching workshops (instead of concentrating on teaching their clients). None of them buy the necessary commercial use permits to teach workshops in parks. None of them buy insurance for workshop attendees. None of them operate anything remotely resembling a legitimate business. They are SCAMMERS and self-appointed Bigtimers who are tearing photography apart for their selfish vanity.

Another SCUM THUG MORON who loves to copy Marc Adamus and jerk off to “comments & critiques” online

Another SCUM THUG MORON


Here’s another worthless LOSER, observed last fall in Zion National Park. What was he doing there? Not enjoying the spectacular park, as most people come there for. No, instead, he was very busily strutting around, copying Marc Adamus compositions. You should have seen the spring in this LOSER’s step when he had secured himself a convincing copy of a Marc Adamus composition. Finally, he could scurry off like a rat, in search of that all-important wifi signal that would enable him to “share” the image with his “fans”:

Another Marc Adamus fan "scores" a Marc Adamus composition and walks back to his company vehicle.

 
You know what’s worse about this fuck? He’s actually using a company vehicle to commit terrorism against the photography industry, and to feed his vain lust for fame. Here’s a picture of his vehicle:

Isn't it great when you can use your employer's vehicle to run around and copy Marc Adamus compositions?

How nice for him that he can use his employer’s vehicle to run around, copying other photographers’ images. I’m sure that the employer would love to know about this. In fact, if they would want to know, I would be happy to provide more details about the exact time that this fuck was using company equipment to further his insane lusts for fame.
I’ve said over and over that these LOSERS will lie and cheat to further their goal of vain fame. This is just more proof. Hopefully, one day this scumbag will lose HIS job and understand the sort of pain and misery he’s inflicted on others.

A few words of respect for Steve Jobs, by Loserphotographers.com blog

Words of respect for Steve Jobs.

Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs: thinking differently, doing great things.

I offer my condolences to the family of Steve Jobs. A great man passed away on the 5^th of October, 2011.

Compare Steve Jobs to THUGS & MORONS like Miles Morgan. While Steve created new, visionary products that redefined how we viewed the world, what did a THUG like Miles Morgan create? Nothing! He stole the work of other photographers, threw it away for pennies on microstock, all for the vain pleasure of being able to “boast” that he’s been published. Woo hoo! Steve Jobs never stooped to the level of other PC manufacturers, joining them in their race to the bottom. He knew his products were worth something, and he went for it! Not like the imbecile Travis Manley, who thinks he’s exceedingly noble and clever for selling images for 25 cents each. Can’t even buy a soda pop for that much!

Steve Jobs created thousands of jobs with his vision. Travis Manley or Miles Morgan will never create anything, only destroy everything they touch with their vain selfishness. That’s the difference between a visionary, and a lowly, meaningless THUG, who is vain and self-centered. 

I hope that Steve is at peace now.

Steve Sieren and his Four Seasons hotel showing: What REALLY happened.

Steve Sieren's Four Seasons showing


Remember Steve Sieren harping about his “showing” at the Four Seasons hotel? He just went on & on about that damn thing. Stevie probably wanted to give people the impression that it was some impressive gala at a five star hotel in Manhattan. Of course, that’s not true. Stevie and some other losers had their showing and hung around desperately, hoping that someone would see how passionate about wilderness or how incredible photographers they were. 

Anyway, Stevie provided a photograph of him supposedly posing in front of one of his “internationally recognized for their color and sharpness” masterpieces. But he left out some details. Here’s the real deal:

How it really looked at Steve Sieren's showing at the Four Seasons Hotel
