Problem is, Larry, there's too much truth in that statement for one not to take it seriously.
That's not to say that it's not witty and humorous; it is. But it comes across as much more than a joke to me. I'd say it's more of a wry commentary. :-) cheers, frank "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Larry Colen <[email protected]> Sent: March 29, 2012 3/29/12 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Subject: Guy With a Camera joke Models often complain about the "Guy With a Camera". He'll pretend to know (or likely actually thinks he does) photography, and will hire models not so much as an opportunity to get photos, but to see naked pretty women. When the models do the work TFF/TFP, what they get is so bad it's not usable for their portfolio. The canonical creepy GWC will make inappropriate advances on his models. I posted the following joke on a forum for fetish photography: A GWaC likes to take photos of beautiful women. A photographer takes beautiful photos of women. The thing that I found hilarious was how many people didn't seem to understand that it was a *joke*. Judging by some of the responses, you'd think that I had tried to define the difference between a nerd and a geek and had gotten some facts about Star Trek wrong. Admittedly, if I were going for accuracy I would have phrased it: A GWaC likes to take pictures of beautiful women. A photographer takes beautiful photos. But I think that the first wording is more euphonious. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
