Default Guess who's back in town?

Remember the wost wedding photos recently? Well he's back in town trading! Check out his site:

http://www.freshimages.eu

They will soon look really dated what with the 2 colour photos and the dodgy slanted horizon. I know its all fashionable at the moment but still!

He's also likely to be sued with copyright-infringing music on his website...

I can understand and don't have a problem with the past post involving this photographer and his work. It linked to a public story about it with examples. But, to post and link directly to his personal business site like this because of negative opinions about his work, doesn't seem like a right thing to do. I'm not defending his work, or arguing your opinions, but he does have the right to conduct business like the rest of us. I just think that it's wrong to steer traffic to his site in this manner. Just my opinion.

Would you like to be held hostage for every mistake you ever made? There's two sides and three truths to every story. His truth, their truth, and the real truth...

We've had members here get into trouble with customers for shoddy work, and I see quite a bit of work which *shouldn't* pass... It's all a matter of perspective.

I, too, have to agree. Perhaps I don't know the whole story here. It seems like you're attacking this person merely because of your opinion of him. Something like:

"Can you believe this person calls herself a photographer?"

Does it really seem necessary to do that? I'm no pc guy, but one has to draw a line somewhere when it comes to attacking others.

I blame everything on Jerry Springer!!

Your absolutely right! I feel really guilty now for posting so I am apologising. We all make mistakes and making mistakes is all part of the learning process.

I had a few glasses of wine last night and now feel guilty for slating someone who obviously is trying to be successful.

Ah, don't feel too bad.....

He definitely deserved slating for the work he did in that previous instance!

Besides, I've been known to be an ass on occasion.

As I said, I definitely wasn't defending his work from that previous article. I hope you understand where I was coming from in this particular instance.

And yes, in my past I have done some things after 'a few glasses', some of which the statute of limitations aren't quiet expired yet, so we'll leave it as that...

Wlee you do call yourself Candidrachel!

No worries, I've been thrown off a forum in the past for what I thought was a witty comment after a few glasses of Shiraz but which the Admin thought was unacceptable. I think the admins here are a little less po-faced thank God!
