I can't believe I am taking the time to write this, since it directly is in opposition to what I about to say, but I hope we all consciously realize that at least part of the reward Timmers gets that feeds into his participation in this type forum is the negative criticism. He literally, obviously is constantly observing this site and the comments and looking of ways to elaborate his deep thoughts. We are providing him with all the "positive" reinforcement he needs to keep doing it. You know he is at this point picking photos at least partly thinking "I can't wait to hear so and so's feedback on this one". He is filling part of his day enjoying this interaction. Somehow he gets a feeling of validation and superiority and we just keep feeding it. There isn't one cell in my brain that finds much worthwhile in most of the photos of his I have seen. There isn't one cell in my brain that thinks he cares about that, not one that thinks the photos should not exist. Now that I have written this the brain cell that motivated even this much effort is exhausted. The only part of my brain left that has any residue regarding Timmers is the part that deep down prays I don't one day walk up in a basement thinking/acting/enjoying and relying on this level of engagement to fulfill my day and validate my "art" and existence. Please oh Please gods of art, don't ever let me reach the point where I have to verbally explain to people I am a "real artist" in order for them to realize it.

Well, as I said, we all have our opinions. One man's art is another man's snapshot.

Opinions are what speak to the work. But okay, your "work" is crap. It is nothing more than snapshots of naked women in staged degrading positions. You seem to have the need for the approval of others but that's okay, for you. And for those who lavish praise on your garbage and tell you how good your carp is, that's okay, for them. For the rest of us, we will continue to give our opinions as to how mediocre your posts are, as you continue to post your crap.

So, controversy, that seems to be the ticket on the wondrous (or is that wandrous?) Hog Network! So, in preparation we can see the door of the Cedar Closet swinging open (to make it more clear 'the cat is out of the bag', sort of speak!), the heavy cheesy hand crafted door creaks out it's sacred tune, as if Boris Karloff was lurking about just to one side. Cuffed to the black stave anchored in the center of the narrow viewing portal for visiting voyeurs. Then:

"and there in front of Pandora's Box, we are confronted by a whole group of plastic people"

Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay,
That trouble comin' every day,
They'll send some joker with a Browning
And you'll see it all complete

Poor lighting. Poor composition, ass-end of dog.

Poor lighting. Poor composition. Vertical lines not vertical.

Yahnnnnnn, wake me up later when you have something to really say, instead of being an uncreative type. Perhaps you never saw a shift in the use of a non-vertical, it's part of the 'modern' use of a compositional element. For examples of this see Constructivism.

I do have to ask myself, "Why do you even bother?"

So I told myself, "Right, lets go play with Unicorn Crush and have fun with the stuff kids play with!" I wonder if Duchamp used the water and borax mix to make The Wedge of Chastity. Well, he could have!

You are quick to post a comment that provides no useful suggestions, and yet you aren't bright enough to tell a dog from a cat.

Lets all provide didactic support with such a post, just to be fair:

The first photograph has a DOG in it as well as a female human model, Starena.

The second photograph has a CAT in it, along with a nude woman, she too is a human as well.

Starena, camera and doggie Bandit.

Erotic, pornographic etc aside, these images leave a lot to be desired photographically - colour, background clutter, focus, chopped knee.....

"I notice all males shooting =/-, why is that? I notice 99% women models, why is that?"

There are no restrictions of female posting, or male models being posted. So, you need to look for the answers to your questions in the field of psychology, or sociology, not from anyone here.

I see that you've just recently started posting your work. Knowing that art is in the eye of the beholder, I have to say that your 'art' is so much more pleasing to me than Timmer's.

What fascinates me about the people who post on the Hog is their complete lack of understanding of the internet and forums. Posting a comment or opinion about me on a thread that I began to complement some other person who has posted else where, they expressing their personal feelings about what they think I should be doing, well it is soooo mindless and pathetic.

Why don't you open your mutual admiration social with him and his posts, why drag me into your strange little love affair. I have no interest in having a threesome.
