|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board OT: Best Web Comment from a Reader to Me Ever. Nic Coury, Photographer Monterey | CA | | Posted: 6:51 PM on 05.14.10 ->> Saw this nugget at the bottom of an art gallery photo I took: "I was not thrilled by the photograph that you put in the review! Who shoots 2 dimensional work at an angle totally distorting the piece? also what an oversight not to include a photo of West's work in a two person show? I'd call that pretty shoddy journalism! Fight provincialism! You can do better Cost Weekly!" ~ ~ ~ Here's the story with the photo up top: http://www.montereycountyweekly.com/archives/2010/2010-May-13/collaborating... ~ ~ Made my Friday, nic  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

Ya know, so you're viewing it at the correct angle while in the gallery.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

How about fighting snooty self appointed photo critics? Seroiusly, head to Starbucks and keep dazzling high school girls with your keen wit and sockless docksiders. Nic, why does your paper not offer 3-D photos??????  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

I like people in my photos. Someone looking at the photo would have it make sense to shoot it at an angle. Since it is a photo of the painting, not the furniture in the background, my opinion is that is a a dull photograph, using an ancient HS technique of tilting the angles in an attempt to add excitement to an otherwise dull, lazy photograph.  This post is:  Informative (3) | Funny (0) | Huh?
