It's not bragging if it's true Paul.
You aren't in my league and you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to selling porn. It's something you never did.
In this case, you're no different than Fabian. A guy who failed at doing something now trying to comment on it like an expert.
You ARE a good photographer. You had tremendous success as a photographer. I respect you for that, and none of the uneducated things you are saying now will cause me to change my opinion of you in that regard.
I still will treat you with the utmost respect for your work which I admire.
But to me...you're like a really good engine mechanic trying to talk down to Dr. Porsche
Or a great guitarist trying to tell Keith Richards how to make it big in music.
Or a classically trained actor trying to tell Brad Pitt how to be a movie star.
