I am glad you spent that much time to check the gallery and comment on the photos. That really tells us most about you...

By the way, don't forget to check all others at:

Nice pictures! Black and white always make for great photograph!

Lattimer · Sep 27, 2003, 05:37 PM

There's some really great photographs in there! I really like the tree and angry sky. I'm a sucker for nature photography!

GoldenHammer: I especially like the Urban landscape contest. There were lots of great photos in that one.

Chill dude.

(There's nothing better than telling someone to grow up, followed by calling them a name.)

The pictures are decent, but nothing new. It's like the photographers all looked at pictures taken by better photographers and attempted to recreate them. I'm not saying the authors of these photos are professionals, and that I expect to be blown away. It's just that with less than an hour of searching, I could find different, better versions of the exact same compositions for every picture in that gallery.
Hell, several of them just looked like snapshots. Contrary to what these people seem to believe, changing the picture to black and white does not automatically turn garbage into art. It just makes it monochrome garbage. They can read all the "mood" they want into it, but it's just not there.

Ahh, Ok. Those cityscapes are much better pictures. There is some good stuff in there.

I would rather drink cola

OK, this would be rather subjective matter because of the difference between all of us. There is always different point of views so we have such an interesting world.

Anyway, I would invite you all again to visit My Personal Collection. It doens't matter you find it impressive or not, but I am glad you have checked it...

Nice pics.

Is that a camera or a gun?

Point taken. That still doesn't excuse the fact that you were crapping all over Goldenhammer's thread. I see you retracted a bit, and thats cool. He's just trying to share his passion with some fellow Mac heads....
