Yeah, go ahead and block me out Josh because you can handle the truth about anything, especially yourself.
You want an advanced critique?
Let me just say that “Cold Nights” is a perfect example of how your photos are nothing but technical exercises. If there IS some meaning to be seen, it’s contrived or accidental. Perched awkwardly on the head of an academic statue, and staring off into space. And what’s the big metaphor here? A girl in a sweatshirt that's posed like a gargoyle? Whatever.
I'm angry because it takes longer to photoshop an image and post it on Deviant than it does to put my pictures on a CD and run them down to the post office. It's disgusting.
And for the record, I would much rather look at Greg’s less-than-technically-correct picture of Sylvie than most of the portraits in your gallery because his intention is crystal clear. Greg wanted a casual picture of a girl he’s deeply in love with. He wanted her smile. The image has heart and a purity of intention. That you have the gall to give Greg a mini-lecture on photographic philosophy is some kind of joke when many of your pictures fall short of your own advice.
And spare us the self-important watermarks.
Your pictures don’t say enough to be stolen.
