Guest leica_mage Posted August 24, 2006 Share #21 Posted August 24, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Chris, it's you!! Somehow I didn't notice you here - probably because of the 'f-bombs', which are missing here. This is to say that I not only love many of your photographs, I love your entire attitude to photography and I absolutely adore the way you express yourself. I wish people here could be as relaxed, but then you can't have everything... The one thing that puts me off Deviant Art is the fact that is a sprawling mastodont with a million other things apart from photography, and I lose myself in there. Any tips? Cheers and always be well, (I too never leave home without it.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest leica_mage Posted August 27, 2006 Share #26 Posted August 27, 2006 ... there is a tongue hanging out somewhere.... Imants, because at the end of the day I like you, despite your faults, I'll reply to this misperception in order to tell you something that I'm sure you already know: that not all expression of enthusiasm for someone is a wet homage to others' rear ends. Some of it is very genuine, and this is a case in point. Chris is neither my friend (in the sense that I don't know him personally), nor my brother, nor married to anyone close to me, etc., etc. He's someone I "met" through Deviant Art and I simply appreciate his intelligence and freedom. Nothing less, nothing more, mate. As for my a**e-licking track-record, it's nil, both in real life and on the net. Check out the way I take the piss with the owner of RFF as an example. In fact, an a**e-licker true to the accolade systematically slurps the rears of those in a real or perceived position of authority. That's where Chris and I connect: we're iconoclasts, and don't buy the "boss", "administrator", dominatrix (one is around here...) themes, or any other bovine excrement for that matter... Best to you, mate! Note for Andreas: originally I left the contentious lingo as is, because I felt my point couldn't be expressed otherwise. I eventually interpolated asterisks only for the sake of minors who might have access to the site and so as not to necessitate that you do the work. Otherwise, as my mates here know, I'm no prude.

IcemanYQQ Posted September 12, 2006 Share #30 Posted September 12, 2006 @ Martin, thanks for sharing the link. @ Chris, I've enjoyed following your work, and your rants, we seem to have the same opinions on more than a few things in life. Great read. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
