You guys take a look at the W/NW threads here yet?

You're right. He's wrong....</i>

<p>

Edward, youre only partially right. probably not the case with Prada but certain buildings in NYC do own the sidewalk or part of it.

<i>I recently posted a photo and so far it has received seven ratings, one each from 2/2 through 7/7.

<p>

What does this tell me? </i>

<p>

You need a pair of ones for a straight.

nah, it's not about shooting this way or that way. probably more along the lines of whatever works at the moment. guys like larry fink use the same cam and lens and in most cases with a flash so he knows or sees what he's getting without using the viewfinder.

the guy who shot my wedding did the whole thing blind with a pair of m4's with 28's and a vivitar 283 on hp5. shots look great and not one posed shot....

Larry Fink sure does win a lot.

Sorry to bust in on the party but yeah, I think it's pretty sick, sick and twisted that people would actually sit at their monitors and track raters. What's even more twisted is the people sitting at their monitors leaving low ratings to track the trackers. A vicious and corrupt cycle that never ends, next we'll have folks tracking the folks tracking the trackers on and on.

<p>

Just a thought but why is a 'one' any different than a 'seven'? Means nothing either way. Well, I take that back, I guess it might mean something to somebody (obviously) including the folks who post threads saying that it doesn't mean anything.

Screw that...Eric, it's fine the way it is.
