I accepted the fact a long time ago that you choose to be an idiot sometimes. Its a shame.

No one tries to copy JFK. The layout, quality and faster turnaround to getting all the photos published set us apart the day we launched.

And that shows you have no idea who is behind what.

Here's my take on it. Of course, there's always room for competition. Some people though are just more professional and more trustworthy than others.

For example, JFK and MikeB are THE TITS. Besides taking good pictures, they give you a chance to compose yourself for taking a nice picture, or to let the goofiness go crazy when taking a candid picture. They are also respectful of people who don't want their picture taken, and remove photos quickly when asked. Everyone knows, loves and trusts these guys for simple things like this.

Of course though, there is room for other photographers but only if you show respect. I take pictures too at various events for our own community and website, but I always share my pictures with them where appropriate and for free. I'm happy to do it and if it helps them get more advertising dollars, even better.

Certain people who have got this wrong in the past have been ones who:

- Keep taking pictures even after you've asked them to stop.

- Take a picture then immediately ask you to advertise on their "new site" that will be "up soon" and feature the "raunchiest pictures + hidden pictures of the show". Yeah, right.

- Ignore takedown requests.
If Mark Prince writes it, it must be true.

No one is forced by any photographer to pose for pictures. And you must be high on something. The photos published were quickly hand selected to show the better of all photos taken. You better look back on Fubarwebmasters and freshen your memory there.
Open mouths, food sticking out, eyes closed, same shot 3-4-5-6-7-8 times published.
To each their own. That is his format, and that works for him.
