wow thats the best one yet you fucking dip shit :1orglaugh

This all reminds me of the song ... with lyrics going something like ...

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
blah blah blah

See you girls this weekend! :winkwink:

XOXO

At a certain point in time you have to just accept the fact that you are not liked. Instead of fixing the problem, you continue to make it worse.

nice pics

Great pic copycat give up on trying to be JFK.

JFK is the only real one! :thumbsup

Yes, yes, yes....!

JFK going out of business? :winkwink:

1 pic wtf is this shit??? :helpme

Pics? Pics? Bueller? Bueller?

Yup, many have tried and failed :upsidedow

baddog and nalem on the list :thumbsup

I love JFK, and he'll always be the original. But I don't get this response... are you guys all suggesting that there's no place for competition?

Not at all, my statement says many have tried and failed.

Mike B still shoots and as something going good with his magazine and his a great guy, he made his bones in this industry.

Also this industry is shrinking so why would we need MORE coverage of a lesser crowd?

No, I think the point was NALEM being a unwanted idiot, rather than competition

Man, I can point to a whole bunch of examples where we as an industry had something more than covered and yet more competitors piled in anyway. It's annoying, it drives prices down, but it's what happens every time.

Well I get you're all doing the school yard thing here, but that wasn't the points that I read... what I saw was suggestions that JFK was the "only one" and that "others have failed" and all that kind of thing. It wasn't limited to just a critique of NALEM.

I think all businesses would like to have their niche cornered, but it seldom works out that way. Competition can and will happen.

Hi Connor,

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.

Those are good points Mark, a little respect does indeed go a long way. :thumbsup

Leave me out of it, I just answered your question

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

On the website, yes. Thanks

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.

He is not dead yet.

No one failed because no one tried to copy him.

School boy antics Connor, nothing more.


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

If Mark Prince writes it, it must be true. :helpme :1orglaugh

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.
