awesome grocery store set..i can only just imagine when people do sets like that it must have the extra thrill of the fact that there probably sneaking around and if the manager caught them..welll...hehe

quote"hey, i like you, and you're pretty new here. that's why i'm suggesting you edit out the negative comment about the set. if an SG gets wind of it, you will have like fifty of them commenting in your journal and it won't be pleasant. trust me, i've seen it. of course you're entitled to your opinions of a set; i'm just offering a friendly warning that unconstructive criticism offends easily and often leads to a shitstorm."
(sorry my friend just using this to reply to something that really bugs me. ) as this is not the first time someone said this too me!

now i totally disagree with this statement.thats one of the things that is wrong( i find for me) about this place. is that people should be entitled to say how they feel. thats what a journal and blog is all about.and that is also what art is all about!.not everyone likes one thing that floats anothers boat.plus i think there is too much false compliments going around in this place to get friendly with the girls and be on the good side.i am not going to tell someone i like something if i dont!.and i wouldn't expect someone to do that to me.i dont want my ego built on false compliments.i know not all my pic's are great. but i also know that alot of them ARE up to the sg quality or more than they have been showing on some sets.!if i point out what i dont like about the photo sets it's not to attack the girl .it's to critisize(sp?) the photo. what i like or dont like about them artistically speaking. it has nothing to do with the person(more the photographer).as i dont even know them.i'm not an ass kisser and i'll never be one.i hate that mentallity.i dont care if i only have 5 friends or 500 hundred friends on here.(tho i very much like all my friends i have now, )as i'm looking at the pictures not from a: does this get me off point of view. but a: is this a good composition,is the lighting good,is the subject in focus,what can i learn from this pic,etc..so i can apply the good and the bad to when i take my photo's...if that makes any sense?

anyways, when you get a rejection letter saying your photo's were not up to the standards they uphold and then see some truely bad photography. well it just makes me a little mad.i'm pretty sure that mine got rejected because i wasn't showing enough expression and thats easy to fix.and beside people can come and flood my journal all they want with negative comments. i know which ones to take seriously and which i will just go whatever to.i wish more people would give constuctive critism.which is what i feel like i'm doing..maybe it's not put in a flattering way! but all the same,it did really look like a bad gap ad. ...and i would more put the blame on the photographer than the model..as she could have had awesome pic's using the same background same clothing,etc..with a diff photographer.
