Default Groupon - SnapShotSandy

I'll tell you what. His photos are truly snapshots. Don't what anyone will learn from this guy.

oh, IDK... seems to be aimed at novices, and regardless, he's not one of those, so perhaps they can learn something from him.

Isn't the constant rallying call around here to make sure you get compensated for your time and relative expertise? At least he's making some money for giving help and advice, something we all do for free...again, something we frown upon around here.

Best of luck to Sandy, I say... if he can find a market for radioactive HDR, good for him.

Don't know about novices learning from him - they are better off just using Auto and pointing the camera.

I can't believe how bad the website and the photos are. Unbelievable. I've seen better photos from kids with mobile phones.

Well, as of writing this there have been 40 sold.. so he'll make over a grand. Admittedly based on what he's offering, and after Groupon's cut that will be like $10 an hour, but still..

You guys are harsh. Harsh I tell ya...

It seems like whatever he lacks in photographic skills, he makes up for in self-promotion. At some point, believing your stuff is good enough to sell has to be part of what makes folks successful, doesn't it?
