RE: [Digital BW] Photography That Doesn't Suck

Thanks Jimbo.   I am certainly NOT against people getting out and having fun
with photography or even making a living doing it. But between the retired
Doctors using the highest quality equipment which produces exceedingly well
made images on AUTO and giving it away (photos) and college students looking
to take ANY job to payoff student loans. WOW. I may become a West Texas
whore. or a back alley dealer.

Dave, Do you fully explain how FB works to your members; not just tell them
to read the privacy agreement? Do they know that submitting a photo to
Photos that Don't Suck, that you plan to repost them? 

Why the hell would anyone promote the creation of orphaned images. I am
sorry you older guys, here at 53, but the fact that your 80 and you don't
care what happens to the profession that you made your living at pisses me
off. I got mine now go figure out how to get yours? Now that is a bit tongue
in cheek but just a little. 

Now granted, Facebook is not Professional photography, it is social media
but it does use professional and non professional photography alike. Too
full of one self, ? sure there are many photos that were licensed at a value
which I'd consider full of it. 

$10 can buy you a web hosting package and another $50 to $100 for a domain;
Photos that don't suck. Once you have a hosted site, there are only the
regular avenue of theft on the internet, as if that's not already bad
enough. I tell clients NOT to post valuable work on any social media, let
alone FB. I regularly see attribution for writers on FB post. I almost NEVER
see a credit to a photographer. People just expect to be able to use one
however they see fit.

So , sharing good photos - grand idea. Doing it on the net? You get what you
pay for.

For those of you who use Facebook, I started a group there entitled
Photography That Doesn't Suck.

In this group, I take a crack at curating photographs that I think don't
suck and posting one or two of these a day. This group was born because so
much photography I see online DOES suck.

The group is still quite new and there are little over 100 members.

If you Facebook and would like to be a part of the group go to this URL
http://on.fb.me/Yjqq1D and ask to join. Hope to see you there..
.
Dave.
