I won't allow you to criticize my work because it is sold to very big companies as well to worlds top advertising agencies... It is OUT to put my work here for any sort of critic.

Well, I won't allow you to criticize my work because it is sold to very big companies as well to worlds top advertising agencies.

So, as Sue said, put up or shut up.

I already said it is OUT to put up my work here.

Shutting up is not something you will not get from me either ;-)

Then as far as I'm concerned, you have no work. Anything you say can just be tossed as you have nothing to back up your rants.

Eventually, you will bore of your game and disappear like the rest of your type.

I've found our friend. It looks like Albert, as well as being one of the world's top stock shooters, is also available for Bar Mitzvahs and children's parties;

Hehe! Still, where is his professional stock portfolio on those macro agencies. Then we could see the number of licence sold.

Edit: Can't find anything using the first 5 Google pages. Now why you came here exactly Mr Martin? Not only for copying issues... really

I would be willing to bet that the "Albert Martin" who is trolling this forum is not the one whose smugmug port is linked above. I think poor Albert is just being used as a hapless disguise.

I definitely detect the tone and style of one (or should I say a dozen or so) of our old familiar trolls. Also noticed we have a "new member" named Batman too. Feels like old times around here...

This is a joke. Its people like this that just ruin it for everyone.

You must be a real douchebag if you can criticize someone with over a half-million downloads and think you are right

I hope you do apply to iStock, and I hope they reject you so many times it hurts physically. Then we can hear you b!tch about that too. Go take pictures of butterflies or something

As for that port you've found - it is not me ;-)
As for rest of your comments: Please don't be so frustrated about my decision. I really don't fell I should enclose any of my work to you because you are very 'nasty' and 'mean' people regarding what you've wrote here.
I see that you are frustrated with having me not willing to show my work and still you won't see it unless you really know me. People who know me show their respect - unlikely as you here!

Having your work copied is not something unique to microstock it's been happening since the dawn of stock ( I was surprised from your initial post that you don't think this happens in macro agencies), the only difference is that it's more prevalant on microstock agencies because they publish the numbers and to some extent encourage it, a number of us are against download figures being publicised but it's part of the whole microstock crowd sourcing agenda.

Whether you want to show your work is entirely down to you, but if you choose not too you can hardly complain if others then form the opinion that what you say is without worth.

My other observation is that any photographer wanting to succeed in this business should delete the shots they themselves think are crap, for someone claiming to be a successful photographer that is a very unusual statement to make.

Could you give an explanation of your comment:
"I don't do such cheap shootings for production - but, I have plenty of similar test shots I've took before real production shootings!"

It's not frustratyion, it's just incredulity. In my case, I don't believe at all that you are what, with so much effort, you pretend to be.

I don't want to speak for everyone, but in my opinion, you don't deserve anyone's respect and I don't think anyone should give you this respect or acceptance that you desire because you have not earned it. You have earned the label of being troll and a joke.

Thank You! Very persuasive comment. That is why I won't give you satisfaction to see my work... Maybe you already saw it - but you aren't aware YET!

This is pointless, let's move on. A troll, is a troll, is a troll. If there is a point make it, if not let's all move on.

HughStoneIan · « **Reply #37 on:** November 02, 2009, 11:58 »

Merrily we troll along, troll along, troll along.....

Seriously, folks. Please don't feed the trolls. They thrive on the attention that they lacked and longed for as children. They don't understand that forums are a very inadequate replacement for that attention. Leave them alone and they soon go away to seek validation elsewhere.
Sniff.

There is one comic I saw:

It is showing a man sitting in front of computer.
His wife calls him and he responds:
-Sorry dear, someone is wrong on internet!

What to say further? It is pointless here...

No. If that is not clear enough as I already said then you'll never understand ;-)
