WOW, has it been that long since I put anything on here?? Oh well guess it shows that this is not my main "raison d'etre" in life.
Anyway. MWAC Attack. God I love this woman and believe it or not there are actually "professional" photographers out there who think she is serious??
COME ON, get real folks. She is taking the piss and boy is she good at it.
If you have not seen her then here is herYouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/MWACattack
You just have to watch some of her videos and if you think she is actually being serious then do yourselves a favour folks, Give up now and retire to a cave somewhere.

This is causing the forums to meltdown
Been a while since I could be arsed putting anything on here - but this has caused me to laugh and cry out loud in different measures.
Laugh at the ridiculous comments from people saying this guy is a prima donna or is being ridiculous.
Cry at the fact that people are so stupid and moronic that they cannot see what this photographer is actually trying to say.
I am sure many of you have seen this blog post http://www.petapixel.com/2012/01/10/this-photograph-is-not-free/
It seems to be causing all sorts of arguments and fallings out (is it that or falling outs?) around the photographic community.
Let's get a couple of things straight here.
1. he is not saying that the 6612 figure is what the picture would cost someone now.
2. he is not really saying that the 6612 figure is what the picture ACTUALLY cost to do
3. he IS trying to make a point that the image cost more than the few seconds of time it took to actually record it.
4. he IS trying to make the point that photographs cost money to produce. Whether that is at the time of taking them, the equipment required to take them, the time spent honing skills etc etc is immaterial.
The simple fact remains that they cost money and consequently people wanting to use them for themselves should be prepared to pay a fair price to use them.
John Mueller (the photographer) actually got his figures totally wrong. Being a professional photographer he would have to include his insurances, business licenses, cost of all the utilities used etc etc etc
The next time a publisher wants to use one of your images for nothing just ask them for 1000 copies of the publication for nothing.
You could also ask them if they are getting all their staff to work for free, their premises for free, their materials for free, their insurances for nothing etc etc etc.
OK John maybe did not point the point very well but the point is still valid.
DO NOT EXPECT TO USE OUR WORK FOR NOTHING.
