No, I'm not going to deny that the website is super tacky and unprofessional, but obviously he is just some guy trying to start out and has attempted to promote himself poorly. As to the resolution citation, yes that's really dumb... but just as dumb as Canon, Epson and HP with their stated scanner and printer resoltions.

I didn't comment on his website though, I was commenting how I thought that getting such obvious joy tormenting someone and publically calling them names like "moron," "tool" etc. in a forum that will be archived online *forever* is really mean-spirited.

...and now, I don't know if I want to play with you guys anymore hahaha!

What is this thread about, trashing some guy over and over for his website? Who cares, it's not your website. This has a mob mentality about it I have never seen on FM before. So a new mission here at FM is to go to websites and trash the ones that have something wrong or misleading or dishonest, it would be a big list, maybe we can start a new Forum…this is not what FM is about.

Poor spelling and grammar are one thing... they reflect poorly on the industry at large, but I'm not going to sharpen pitchforks because someone put up a tacky, amateurish site.

However: mis-stating resolutions is misleading. Canon does not make 22 megapixel cameras. He does not own one. His images do not look like Phase One digital back images. That is just flat out wrong, and I see no reason to defend his statement.

Also: I'm studying to become an aerospace engineer, and I have a serious case of OCD. But I don't like to think of myself as a moron!

he's an engineer... what do you expect (no offense to those of you that are, but engineers do tend to gravitate towards photography... and most don't exactly have what it takes, both personality, talent, and creativity wise to cut it, ALTHOUGH SOME DO!) and this guy is no different.

lol what a moron.

I know he didn't mean me... but still, just becuase I'm an OCD engineer doesn't mean I can't take an artistic picture! No offence meant I'm sure, and none taken.

"Kevin would be the first to admit that his engineering attitudes give no clue to the imagination and creativity he manages to incorporate into his photographic work. He uses up-to-date camera gears to capture the most and unforgotten images. Those gears are worthy more than 30K to get you the real contrast and promising memories. Kevin's photography has achieved recognition awards."

so do digital cameras have gears

"the most and unforgotten images" interesting... hey kev take and pass an ESL class bud...

We are not worthy of Kevin's gears...

he has recognition awards... recognized for..... oh weit I got those too...in high school...

Hey Kevin knows what the L in the Canon L glass is... "Luxury Lenses"
from his equipments page showing all his gears..

anyway enough now I have to go and change my site to be like kevins so I can get all the unforgotten images and recognition awards with my 16mpxl 1D Mark II

Man that must make the 5D a hmmm 20mpxl camera...

at the bottom of the equpments page he has a link to Canon's site and clearly there the 1Ds Mark II is a 16.7 mpxl camera.... oops..

ontime-- great sig! Keep it that way for a while!

What's with this 'gears' thing anyways? I've heard many people say that. "Camera gears, great condition"... "many used gears"... "didn't use these gears as much as I wanted to"... (yes, on the BS forum).

It's 'gear'. One gear, two gears--BUT: camera gear. Singular.

See? OCD. Don't say I didn't warn ya!

You're right though, Daniel. Saying "gears" is a bunch of nonsense.

This is just a coincidence, but I mention it because it has never happened before. I emailed "Kevin" about his lack of professionalism regarding his "equipments" and then not long afterwards, three sign-up "confirmations" to three vulgar online services arrived in my inbox. I deleted them without looking at them. Never before have three signups like that arrived so nearly simultaneously. Just a conincidence. Coincidentally, has anyone else had a similar coincidence happen?

I also Emailed kevin about his gears..

and kinda gave him the "gears" about his out and out lies. As a Canadian, and only 2 provinces away from this liar I feel he is obviously misrepresenting himself to clients. As I said before, if he is lying about his camera equipment then what else is he lying about. Perhaps, his skills, amount of work done etc.

Photography while a fun and exciting hobby and career is also very serious business. often, you only get one chance to get it right (referring to weddings). People pay good hard earned cash to you to do the best job. Not some half a*sed mop-job.

People like Kevin can and probably are hurting the industry. anyway that is my Rant..

now I have to go play with my gears...

Agreed. Yeah, it's tacky to list the gear on the site like that & include the value--who cares? BTW, the specs on the cameras has been amended. Obviously he's not a native English speaker & really needs to get an editor to help him out. Even with that, IMHO this thread has been in pretty poor taste; it's the kind of thing I expect to see at other photo fora--and why I don't frequent them--but not here.

Well, I am more than likely no where as good as you other photogs... But that is nuts!

Maybe someone should invite him to FM if he's not here already to see some of the photos heh....

Oh does someone have some of this (PRO) software he has? It sounds like its way better than Aperture or CS2!

What am I missing - from that site wedding package price info:

"3. Unlimited Exposures (Medium Format) with 350+ proof digital files (Printable up to 20x30)."

I tought medium format is something else. Wierd, but who am I to say?

However, by this time the resolution was corrected there.
Somebody was talking to him, that's good.
It's called "reality check". People need that.
And I'm not trashing anybody by saying this.

QUICK EDIT - all packages include "medium format exposures", so WTF is he shooting with
