When I was downtown visiting Atlantic Photo, the oldest 'real
photo store' in this area, the guy told me that the local
professionals use either Nikon or Canon cameras.
That may be true in North America, but the rest of the world knows
better.
Where is that, Tom?
By the shores of Dongting Lake in Hunan Province?

Nikon and Canon are the two leading brands of professional-grade
SLR cameras used by professionals all around the world. No other
brands even come close in that market segment.

Do you have a cite that shows "the rest of the world knows better"?
What does that mean, anyway?

Gonna take me up on my offer? *See your best stuff?

How about it?

What the hell does an exhibition of my photos on your site have to
do with your claim that professional photographers in "the rest of
the world know better" than to use Nikon or Canon equipment, or
whatever it was you were trying to say there?

The camera does not make the photograph. *Some really nice
photographic art has been captured with a pinhole camera or a Kodak
Brownie. *The WORST photo of Tom's was far superior to all of the
blown out, poorly composed snapshots you have posted. *Who could
ever forget the mood and emotion your captured in your Stumpy photo.

I was supposed to waste more than 10 seconds taking a photo of a tree
stump we used for target practice?

You apparently have nothing productive to do with your hobby time. I do.

You have posted many photos in the past. *The only ones that anyone
liked you stole from other people's web site, and presented as your
work. *Why don't you post one photo you are proud of?

Well, there was the one of his fat little thumb and a postcard...

His prize shot was taken in California. He's holding a room key or
something with his name on it. You can see his gnawed off fingernails,
fat little fingers, and Pillsbury dough boy like forearm. I wish I'd
saved it. It was hilarious.- Hide quoted text -

He also tried to claim he was there in some professional capacity.
THEN when it was revealed that he wasn't registered at that hotel, he
tried to claim it was a work partner. Come to find out, he just rode
in on his wife's coat tails.
