Response to Image Critique! Rip me apart! :)

from Edward Kang (ekang@cse.nd.edu)
Steve, I value critique. I have valued all the comments, even the negative ones. You all seem to think that I have some aversion to your negative comments. That is far from the truth! Where in the world do you all get that idea? You all seem more defensive than I am!!???

My critique on some of your attitudes...

You SEEM to think that I am JUSTIFYING my use of crappy equipment. Where do you GET OFF? I don't have enough money for monolights or strobes. I have barely enough money to learn using TMAX400CN in my EOS 300. What, you think I WANT to have my life harder? PLEASE!

You think that if this is considered a "poor result" (which it may be, I'm not quite sure anymore), then I am JUSTIFYING them with my poor equipment? GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES!

Do you WANT me to hate you, or are your constant deprications of my CHARACTER as opposed to my PHOTOGRAPHY a necessity??

END RANT.

So fine.

According to John Kantor, THIS image:

Is what I should be working toward.

Well, then I'll just give up this available light portrait thing because if I had to work toward this angst-ridden pseudo-artsy crap, then it's not even worth it.

Shawn, delete this thread, because my picture is obviously wasting peoples' time. Thanks.
