Nothing wrong with that but I was actually talking about trying to video your own car while driving. If you can do that then thats great. Stop showing me great photos when i cant utilize your shots damn it!...

lol good luck to you get those pics posted in the photothread for your best feedbacks


Also FYI... careful about advertising services... vendors have to pay to advertise services so if your thing gets on the radar, you'll have to remove ur postings or just do your shoots for free

Don't tell me. You just got done reading "How to win friends and influence people." Haha.

Fun thread.

Funny. But I think you'd be pissed too if you were me.

I likely wouldn't be pissed.

By charging a fee for your services, you were holding yourself out as a professional. As such, you should not be upset that consumers (readers) critiqued your work.

In the end, it turned out that many people thought your work was overpriced. Indeed, some in this thread felt that your services were not worth anything.

If I post pictures of my car -- and I think my car is great -- I should not get too upset when some people disagree with me. There is always a chance that people will think that my car is ugly or that my mods are lame and ridiculous.

Those are the chances I take when I post to a public forum.

I would not be upset.

I'm taking on my schools yearbook this year for photo- not getting paid a dime, but It's cool knowing your making one of the best yearbooks in the country.

But people have got to start cutting this kid some slack. I'm semi keeping up with this thread and while I think OP's work can use some critique, he's not deserving of getting borderline flamed. Point was pretty much made when someone said he didn't deserve $20/hr for his level of skill(pretty much everyone since then has regurgitated the same thing). Everything after is pretty much entertaining drabble.

The first comments did not piss me off whatsoever. If I didn't take critique then I would not have redone this thread.

It pissed me off that my thread got completed jacked and all the rude comments and jokes made this thread an embarrassment.

Since the samples of my work did not suffice, I posted more and will now work on it to make it better until people think its worth something. Is that understandable?

Thank you. I didn't get pissed until I started reading pages 2 and 3 of the flaming.

I would suspect that the owners of this site would prefer that you not sell your wares in this thread -- unless you pay for advertising.

For now, as long as you are not charging anything for your services, I'd suspect that this thread is fine.

I could be wrong, though. If I am wrong, ignore my previous comments.
