kinda like when some of the other poeple posted my info to begin with.... do you see the vicious circle here?



No. As was pointed out to you, they had a point when quoting your profile information.

You on the other hand seemed to think you were handing out some secret knowledge that the rest of us were yet to discover as if most of the posters here had no idea who jon or dragonfly were.

I just read the whole thread - allow me to test MY reading comprehension skills.
This whole thread is basically complaining that Benjamin Knox can't draw people, right?

The shots from the wedding I was in are finally out and I'm pretty disappointed. (I speak ONLY for myself. I haven't talked to the couple about pictures.)

There are only 4 pictures of the wedding party and they're crooked. (None of just the bridesmaids or groomsmen.) It took me a few seconds in photoshop to fix one of them. There is only one shot of the entire wedding party during the ceremony and it's from a moment when our backs were turned.

In contrast there are nearly 300 pictures of the reception.

Take a look at this one : http://www.marksykes.com/Czaplewski/B&G/pages/Czaplewski_067.htm
There's just no reason for a shot like that to be crooked, especially after it took a month to get these up.

There are a lot of really great shots in there but there are also a lot that needed some MINOR tweaking. I'd definitely go elsewhere for a BCS wedding.

whats wrong with the pictures?

Just a guess, but I think she's talking more about his website design/layout as opposed to the pictures. And I kinda have to agree. Wow. That's, umm, in need of updating.

Most of them are too small to be able to judge the quality very well. All you can go by is composition and posing. In the few dozen I've looked through, I haven't seen anything truly original or creative.

And on the few where a bit more detail is visible, they look like they could have been taken with a moderately high-end point-and-shoot. There's no clear evidence of professional grade sensors (I'm assuming he has switched to shooting digitally by now) or lenses, nor of well-designed lighting.

I think Sykes is more concerned with the photos than his webpage, but I could be wrong.

As he should be, but that's just it—the pictures on the website don't make him look like a better photographer than you'd find at Sears or Wal-Mart!

Even if he hasn't updated the website in a couple of years, you'd think the pictures he chose for it at the time would have been from among his best. This is a public portfolio we're talking about!

actually, I was talking about his pictures. I don't care about the web design, I get that he's a photographer, not a graphics artist. sorry, but I've seen better pictures from amateurs.

but I'm reeeaaaaalllllly picky about pictures. jmho.

have you people heard of copyright? Sears and others like it have almost exactly the same quality posted on their websites.
Just humor me and next time you go to College Station Med or University Pediatrics (there are other places but i can't remember then right now "to save my life" look arrownd you and then let me know what you see. Then count what you see and you'll figure out how manny of us LOVE him AND his work. Also keep in mind thoes are NOT $10.00 per so try to contain your shock.

Are you really passionate about this or just really bad at grammar?

Just curious...
