Look here

Doesn\'t this just say it all? Guilty as charged!? lol

Not thinking out of the box or the emperors new cloths? What do you think?

Very cutting satire.

I\'ve known a few \"Armchair critics\" expounding their views on Master Photographers works.

Of course it doesn\'t ever happen here on CMON.:innocent:

The topmost one is just NASTY.

P.S I mean the comment, the pic is nice

I love that he has someone telling Edward Steichen to try looking at other people\'s works. There were no other people to look at! Well, there were a few, but that picture is over 100 years old, is one of if not the earliest color photographs, and recently sold for 2.9 million dollars - the most any photograph has ever sold for.

Kinda reminds me of a piece by Umberto Eco I read in college where he was a literary agent writing rejection letters to some of historys great authors.

Got to love satire.

Ever see Rowan Atkinson\'s one-person play where he plays William Shakespeer\'s editor? Hilarious.

Excellent post Avelorn!!

I read through ALOT of comments left for minis, and I have to tell you those left for the photos have a very similar tone to them.

Biting satire and very VERY VERY appropriate for this site!

I feel like some of these commenters sometimes here. Some artist much better than myself asking for help on a mini - andi I think I can help them improve . Really.

That\'s not how I was remembering it.
I didn\'t remember Hugh Laurie (now known as House) was in it.
I thought it was a one-man show, and longer, but it has the jokes I remembered.

And I think a lot of the time you can! Just because they may have had more practice or more success painting than you doesn\'t mean they know all the techniques you know or have read all the tutorials you may know. It is always worth offering advice, whether it helps in the end or not is often down to the person listening.

WTF, dude clean your lens LOL!

This photo is obviously not a candid one. The image is clearly contrived. There is no sense of dynamism and the background should have been cropped to remove the pedestrians (e.g. the half man on the right) The subject is overdone and kitsch. Utter trash.
