As always, some very nice shots. Particularly like the first Milky Way one.
Photos of pregnant women are ugly. Women have gotten pregnant billions of times prior. It is not amazing or wonderful; it is just the women’s bodies job. It would be greater that the women treated their children respectfully instead of choosing to disrespect them.
Tattoos are not a person’s art; tattoos are the art of some other person. Being a walking billboard is just being stupid as is all dogma
A comp is either explicit and meant to be, or so good that it is not explicit. A photo proposed to be not a comp, but is obliviously a comp, is ugly.
It’s just the same as selfies. Somehow it must be cool because everyone is uploading some on FB. Except that it isn’t.
These people are probably the same people who upload tons of images of their children onto FB so they can be tracked for the rest of their life by about any online service out there. Utterly irresponsible.
‘Photos of pregnant women are ugly’
Stop talking about your mother like that.
You look rather young to have known (wink-wink) my mother also. Hope you didn’t pay for it for I doubt that it would have been worth more than a hay-penny. I am living proof of the lack of quality that came out of her:-)
Uhg, learn to write properly before being a critic. Your text makes my eyes hurt.
Seriously dude… or is it dudette? Grammatically I am spot on, all the while you have proclaimed to the world that the exclamation “Ugh” is now spelled “Uhg”. I suggest that you understand that grammatical mistakes are based on grammatical rules, which like all rules, are about as concrete as quicksand. But if I do ever make a grammatical mistake, I do not mind at all if you point it out to me. I am always willing to admit my mistakes for I am not religious in any nature (as you seem to be, at least in part). That being that, is not the message more so important than following some arcane set of rules that are nearly always impossible to follow?
“A photo proposed to be not a comp, but is obliviously a comp, is ugly.”
Quite a rubbish statement. I don’t necessarily take photos of pregnant women because I have not had yet the opportunity to do so, but there is nothing wrong about this.
As for the front photograph of the pregnant woman, I think it is a strong keeper.
Less talk, more photos. Enjoy your day!
I think witcheater means pregnancy doesn’t make a photo special or beautiful. I see snaps of pregnant women every day on Facebook. It’s like slo-mo & gunfire for Hollywood. They think it automatically makes their work ‘badass’, but it doesn’t. Today’s movies lack emotions and pictures stopped telling tales. Dunno what’s the cause, but people are getting dumber and dumber.
It’s kind of the same with the third world pics your always seeing. A couple of impoverished kids around a water hydrant, some hindu guy in the streets and small vendors. It’s like the go to pictures for those who think they should be taken seriously. Frankly, while the subject matter doesn’t get old- the artistic expression does.
The irony is ever strong with you. If we stopped taking photographs of things that have happened in the past or even things that have been photographed in the past, we would have nothing left to photograph. It is your right to have the opinion that pregnant women are ugly, but you also need to acknowledge that the majority of the world is in disagreement with you.
So witcheater (nice self given nickname, not) and francis (lighten up francis!) you are both against self expression. Do you know what that says about both of you? Clearly, not true photographers. Do everyone a favor and save your hating for some other group.
Yes, you somehow discovered the truth about me (which you conveniently fabricated to justify your dislike for my comment). I am so against self expression, but until you pointed it out to me, with each of my expressions on the expressions of others I did not understand that I was unexpressing my (and maybe that of others) “self expression”. I still labor in coming to know what that says about me. Nonetheless, damn it now, I have to sell off all my photographic equipment because some douche bag called James LaPiana proclaims aloud to the world (the rather small world of SAR) that I am not a “true photographer”. If only I had a 3 IQ best friend to take a picture with, and be best friends with, to use as my profile pic.
I stand corrected, you are all for self-expression, especially your own, so you can be the asinine self-expressionist criticizing others self-expression on a small world website. A women gets pregnant as it is nature’s way, not their “job,” but you probably don’t see your post as offensive when adding that photos of them are ugly. They are ugly at their job of having babies. It is amazing and wonderful to them, not supposed to be for you. I don’t know how the children are being disrespected, you lost me there, but hope your childhood problems are resolved soon, as they clearly shine on. Then you move on to everyone with a tattoo and all Dogma, all because of some photos posted on a small world website. From DB to another.
Great pinup shot, golden era.
Yes, that’s a good shot.
That guy is asking for trouble.
Golden Era- that’s an understatement.
Is her hip behind or in front of the calf ? it’s pretty disturbing.
Ugly, why does everyone take photos of pregnant woman ?
