That is all just ... odd.  Maybe he has a relative that was killed by a micro loser photographer or something.

you can always run an whois request against any given domain to get an idea whos behind that and google that info later on to track that person down.... in the case of this blog I would not wonder if this information is just a total fake, so I resist to post the outcome here for not compromising anyone who probably has nothing to do with it at all...

I think it's just some failed (and batshit crazy) microstocker, jealous at other people's success. ::)

He apparently decided to "take revenge" by blogging.... Kinda reminds me of this story: http://www.epochkblamm.net/SuperVillain.asp

Removed.

Retained:
Also, blogger has a "report this blog button" .  Does he qualify for defamation?

Travis, if you would like to get in touch with him here you go.  Did you steal his girlfriend in grade 9 perhaps?

Here is (modified to THE OWNER OF THAT DOMAIN NAME) website:  (removed)  (At least it has the same phone number area code)

(contact info removed)

Also, blogger has a "report this blog button" .  Does he qualify for defamation?

Thanks for the info. I had someone else send it too me too. Think I'm going to take the high road here and let it slide (assuming this is the first and last attack against me). Also, This will probably result in the most traffic my blog has seen in months.  ;D

Pixart, you did what I was resisting for, but for sure I came to the very same place, hence we should give him a chance to declare himself, and if its just to not to fall onto his level. As I said, I would not wonder, if the ill brain behind that domain has faked the registrants name, but would contact this person by any means if i were Travis to see if he is the one behind that all, and act upon outcome. I am sure that blog qualifies for some legal action.

Mauled by a wildlife photographer.

I did learn something though. Apparently, there are only 10 photographers that earn a living with microstock.  ;)

I removed the dude's contact info from my post above.  As much as the blog made my blood boil, either (a) it is a false domain registry,  or (b) the blog is by someone who is undeniably troubled in some way.  I don't think the world is a better place if I point fingers at him.  Shame on me.  Travis, I think you will agree that it's okay to your modify my quote in your post above to remove his website and contact info?

Well, that guy clearly has some axe to grind.  It's very insulting he targeted you personally, but it's good to see you are taking it in stride and having a sense of humor about it.  

This guy's "facts" are bogus too.  He states that "there are probably fewer than 10 people in the entire world making a living from microstock photography".  The median annual salary in the US for photographers is 53k (http://www1.salary.com/photographer-Salary.html)  I personally know of a couple of hundred, at least, who make that or more in micro.  


yep.. 27 of the 150 full timers interviewed said they took in more than $50,000 last year.  That's 2.7x more than 10 and was only from the 'small' amount of people who answered the survey.  That number would have been quite a bit higher if I had included everyone.  Perhaps that is a good topic for a future look at the survey results.  A further look at earnings compared to the average american photographer.

There you go providing actual FACTS instead of guesswork and innuendo.  Facts?  We don't need no stinkin' FACTS!!  ;D

We are both from the Pacific Northwest. Im guessing he came across some of my photos at Dreamstime and went on a rant.

You are trying to find rationality inside a lunatic's head. I don't think there is any.   :-\

Somebody clue this guy in on politics. He'd fit right into the truly disturbed community.

I wish I had someone out there telling the world that Marc Adamus and I are equally crappy  ;D

I would be slightly worried about being singled out by a lunatic like this. Maybe you should check with Adamus to see if he knows who the guy is and if he is dangerous.

I had a quick read of one his posts and it sounds like maybe he went to school with Marc Adamus and is now really bitter that Marc has made it and he's still a loser (in one of the posts he says "anyone who knew Marc at school...." or something like that).
Seems to be in major denial abut his own (lack of) talent.
