The most traffic I receive during the day is when I'm stuck on I-270 in the mornings.
Look, I know I'm lucky when someone even LOOKS at my pictures, and this may sound silly or conceited (and if it does, it's on you, not me), but I have some flickr peeves. One of them is "cut and paste comments". As a favor to me, it's better not to get a comment than to have someone paste the same comment again and again on my images and other people's images. If you don't want to type a comment, click "F" to favorite it. If you don't want to do that, it's better to just pass it by. I'd appreciate that more.

Other little flickr peeves:
- purposely hiding EXIF info (what for?!?!)
- pics of people wearing evil bunny masks (just scary)
- pictures of that doggone amazon.com box figurine (ugh!)
- people who shoot 500 pics in a shoot and post almost all of them in a set (or worse... not in a set)
- unnecessary pics of male anatomy
- ANY pics of male anatomy
- planking pics
- photos where someone's face is blurred out (which means you stole the photo or the photo isn't legal)
- posting entire song lyrics with your picture (I'm allowed my opinion)

P.S. I am a very VERY generous person... until I find that one of my images is being used without my permission. Be forewarned that I have a very strong legal team (you'd be surprised how many photos of lawyers there are in my stream) which has taken action in the past against those who have used my photographs without my expressed permission or by following copyright laws.

However, feel free to ask me in advance. I'm good about these things.

People forget that Cane went on to build a great city and became a success in life.
It just goes to show how caught up in the negative people can be (Get it? Negative? Photographers? Negative? Ah, forget you, then.)

"P- is hands down the finest "artist" I claim to know! His rate of climb (learning curve) is off the charts! Humble & sharing he epitomizes the essence of our art/trade. I say trade because there are NO SECRETS. Ask a direct question, get same as an answer. (Except Shooting Locations). I can't wait to see you published and teaching others how to scale the heights bruh! One...

"Still think you need all that fancy equipment to be an excellent photographer?! Meet Psoup!

Psoup has an incredible eye for the shot and the composition of it. As you browse through psoup's photostream, you get the strong sense that every image means something; laced with the finishing touches of excellent framing. From landscapes to people, the skillful eye dances with impressive post processing acumen to produce another compelling image.

Psoup is a constant reaffirmation that it is more about the person and not the equipment, that produces artful and meaningful photography. I'm honored at the daily opportunity to dip my ladle in this flowing stream of inspiration."
