Nobody is out to get Newsman, personally I don’t give damn about Newsman, I’m only trying to relate 38 year of experience to another fellow photographer who asked for our opinions; you do what you want with it.
I think you and cameradog both should take a look at how you critique me and how you critique this gent:
There is a way to critique without being a total scrotum.
Like Cameradog...
The hidden message is a vintage McFly trademark. Been doing that for years... Glad you liked!
Newsman, unfortunately I have little remorse for you. This thread might as well have been titled "This PKG is for my personal validation." In your first post you set out to show people what you are made of, and according to some veterans of news and this board, that's not so much. They phrased things in harsh terms because right off the top you came across in a very arrogant way. You claimed to be looking for critique, but instead you seemed to be saying "just in case my last package didn't floor you, this one surely will."
I'm just paraphrasing the vibe I got from you. So my suggestion is, if you're really looking for honest critique, come to the table with a different attitude. If you don't, people are going to continue to want to put you in your place. If you look at other threads where people ask for critique, you'll see that they present their work with a humble approach and things never head down this road.
My intent was sincere, but it was clear from the beginning that CD was more interested in slammin' me than anything. Same with Nino, who erased his remarks. In them, he goes on about Rosenblum, and this and that.
Finally, and I'll say it again, I posted the second package because it is a package I wanted critiqued. It was my best NAT PKG of 2007 and I wanted to know what I could do better with it. All I got was what a pile of rubbish it was. How mediocre it was and how it looks like one of Rosenblum's followers. Now how in the hell can anyone take these remarks to heart? Not only that, but the tone from that direction made any legitimate advice useless at that point.
