robertsimpsonnorth Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 My immediate reaction was - the guy has got to be English. This was before I saw the news source. My mother was born and grew up there - so I can spot 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman 202 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (Warning: The Guardian source) excellent article, although i had seen it before. it’s nice to see photography articles in the graun that promote the artists rather than the daily heil that just filches the work of other sites (and denies them click revenue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman 202 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 So, as long as people get paid, stealing is ok. Is that what you are saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman 202 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Anyway Mark, you are missing the point. As a photographer, wouldn’t you rather add to sites that instigate these awards (this pg of the year or that pg of the year) rather than the daily heil.

Moving On Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I’ll take those two replies as a “no”. Good, that’s settled. I for one am glad all of the art the Nazis got their grubby little hands on wasn’t burned when recovered. I simply think the protest, Nazi association, is disproportionate to the “crime” and the result of personal political opinion. I know that folks tend toward overstatement to make political points and think it good practice to reign in the creative writing from time to time with a bit of fact now and again. Facts are sobering little reminders when emotion and politics swirl about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 “As a photographer, wouldn’t you rather add to sites that instigate these awards (this pg of the year or that pg of the year) rather than the daily heil.“ We agree on the positive point of the argument, but disagree on the negative aspect.

Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. ("A path!

Moving On Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Wow. Got a lot of mirrors eh........ You clearly repeated yourself. Is that Puppy or Kitten intellect? You regurgitated almost phrase for phrase a recent CNBC piece. Not terribly intellectual..... You’re sitting on the hedge. Say hi to Jeb, Mitt, and John.

Moving On Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Just a simple pun post. covefe! Look where we've got to. SAD You as well as others like to make, even initiate political posts/threads. You do it regularly. Photoshop, photograph a poster or sign, protest street photography, whatever creative way you can come up with to make your political opinion known. When others respond, you typically whine about it. Doesn’t bother me one way or the other. I enjoy it from time to time. All part of getting a little perspective On where others are coming from, and it compliments their photographs, but ya gotta be mature enough to accept a little give and take. When I see great photos here from people I disagree with politically, it adjusts my personal bias a bit. Shows what we have in common. That is what good art and photos do. If it makes you “sad”, stop initiating it. Your bowl should be bigger than your spoon. ;) ;) Edited July 28, 2018 by Moving On Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 The warning was in emulation of another poster who regularly does that. As for the rest, I'm not the foremost whiner here.

Love the places I get to go via your photographs. But I respond honestly when I differ. I’d expect no less from you. Simple adult respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The warning was in emulation of another poster who regularly does that. From what I know of it that was, again, in response to political comments of others complaining about the source of his photo links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
