Damn, you can't say shit on here without everyone tearing you apart word by word. Everyones a PRO photographer? (I'm sure) What publications? Does anyone here work with the top 25?.... even as an assistant? just wondering. I rarely run across cool people here. It's very elitist at times for a site that builds itself up as a fun "we're the crazy, free thinking, tattooed, pierced up, artist, nobody understands us" crowd. Any cool people that just want to talk openly on ideas on photography or whatever and are emotionally strong enough to have friendly debates and not cry like a child as soon as someone disagrees with you, feel free to mail or comment me

its not always like this. i promise
