Another one with the Champagne bottle we drank at lunch. Now if you're still not convinced I am giving up trying to convince you. I won't post my full name or the name of the photographer because I am concerned about my privacy.

OK, kid, carry on, I'll let you be.

No photoshoot in Sweden according to the product people, no links to your work, image links you have posted are broken, you link to a guy's photostream, and this guy also tells funny photo stories other places - but it's not you - sure.

Tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next, and in all honesty, you haven't been nasty to anyone as far as I can see (like wendyb was.)

Make sure you let us know how the next shoot goes.

The swedish thing was a small thing which was sort of like a bonus once the competitive part was over. I am not linking to his photostream at all. His photostream is empty as you have shown us.

Folks are simply trying to reconcile the student who has won contests, work, and the admiration of a well-heeled professional fashion photographer with the clueless, Forrest Gump student. Playing both roles for this long can be likened to formica veneer peeling off a kitchen countertop.

I doubt anyone cares whether or not you have a d700. Having one does nothing to validate your narrative. Simply post real pics that you've taken with EXIF data. No need to oust your mentor or expose your identity. How about some of those pics that garnered the attention of the pro in the first place?

Oh, the reason why my links are broken is because I don't use flickr, I only use it to post images on forums and delete stuff after a month or so.

Well I am still abroad but I will post some either once I come back OR I will take some more for you.

Ratmagiclady · 03-08-2011, 09:09 AM

Well, Student, maybe you could give a bit more exposure on your images there.

See, I thought I'd have a peek at the EXIF data and maybe see what you might be trying to do those shots with...

I got a name, instead. A French one.

Whoever's gear those bag photos were shot with, *their* name's on the copyright and byline notices, but I guess on balance telling a few tall tales on the Net doesn't mean you or maybe your friends there forefeit that privacy you want respected, so I won't tell.

It's not nice to jerk people around, though, you know. Just sayin'.

I know who "student" is .... it is CHARLIE SHEEN !!

I guess it could be a fun game to see how long you can fool suckers on an internet forum.

Maybe someday you will grow up and find better ways to spend your time.

I've subscribed to this thread so I can see how this plays out. I am a sucker for a good spectacle.

Student · 03-08-2011, 09:23 AM

I think it's time to move on... This thread is becoming awkward.
