there are so many people who think they are photographers at the mo, it's quite irritating
have you seen all the dull photos people put on the /board where they've just HDR'ed the bastard out of it and everyone is like "oh, that is so lovely" WHY THE FUCK DID I BOTHER TRAINING IN THIS SHIT?

I do like nice HDR photos
but I get your point. I'm so far from being a photographer it hurts.

HDR is not necessarily a bad thing
but it's like people fear shadows in pictures at the moment. There's also rehashing of old photography arguments, hence my last coll3ctive post. I feel the need to be the grumpy old woman of photography putting down all the upstarts.

you've got the knowledge
it is your right to be all grumpy about it and put down upstarts. I'd do the same about surfing and guitar playing

Yes, you would if you were any good at either of those things.

you can't see it
but that made me do a wry smile, because those are two of the things I am actually good at

You can't see it, but that actually made me spit water all over my desk.
Am I still getting an invite? I'm keeping the day free especially and I'm going to make you an awesome card that says "With cards this awesome, who needs expensive wedding presents" because I'm not going to get you an expensive wedding present. Probably just some bacon or something.

oh man, bacon would be sweet
I haven't mentioned it to the mrs, but I strongly suspect that if I said I'd like to invite a few people from here then she wouldn't mind.

it'd have to be to the evening bit only though, because we are tightfisted.

I'm getting you less bacon now.
But if you invite CHCB and catface then we can all chip in and get you some awesome bacon. I had some the other day that was cured with treacle. It was great, when you cooked it, it looked like you had burnt it really easily, but it was just caramalised.

I wish someone would tell her this.
I want to bash my face into a wall every time I see her talk about it.

Gaz me her number. I'll do it right now.
