Why are so many successful footballers parents like this?

Or he could have gone to another premier league team, like the older Milner did. West Ham would have been perfect.

So saying refs are shit is ‘bringing the game into disrepute’, but handing a club a points reduction while leaving another club alone for the same rule breaches doesn’t bring the game into disrepute?

People think war is glamourous?

Koci Hernandez did a lot of street shots on his phone, deletes his account often, again did that and has switched to creating an AI company, seemingly to me out of nowhere. AI imagery isn’t computer generated from nothing is it? It’s computer generated from all the photos available out there. If you’re for AI visual imagery, you’re for theft. Obviously, the capitalistic machine is so strong that you will get people who were/are into candid street doing AI imagery to make money even though it should go against everything they stand for.

I should try this. Do you also lock the doors?

One thousand pounds for one hour? Is that over zoom too? Wow!

Really…wow. He’d have to Cartier-Bresson re incarnated.

$999 for one hour, wow.

I mean seriously, tbh i didn’t read the rest of your post i couldn’t concentrate. Is this marketed to bored billionaires who happen to pick up a camera?

Had you not linked to that i wouldn’t have believed it.

It’s like the rate mps use for businessman as access to power.

I didn’t parcels where i get 51p for each delivery.

Any alternatives to Instagram? I do like a lot of street stuff on there. If i use flickr or most sites I’ll never proper street stuff, it will always be generic, more cityscape landscape stuff.

I didn’t know Instagram was such a dead place. I don’t comment much, like a bit.

I just yell “heh fuckstick” and depending on their reaction start from there. Honestly this place, people want confirmation for every tiny decision.

So casual.

Whaaat. Who’d pay that? I know photography with the gear is an expensive hobby but that’s outrageous.

I do multi drop couriering and it’s 51p per delivery, i can’t deny i once fell into a temporary disillusioned state of depression when i saw what someone was charging for a walkabout workshop in a city, as good as they are. Very much ‘yeah you could do three workshops a month I’d need to deliver 1000 parcels to match’. I only say this because my specific type of photography isn’t generic garbage, but its value might as well be. It could be worse, i could be 55 years old in the same position rather than still old but not quite 55 years old old.

£2k for zoom workshops?

Support can come from the community though, and i don’t remotely need it to edit photos, i use 1% of lightroom, turn b&w, use sliders, that’s it. It’s the basic photo processing i want, not the billions of options I’ll never use. I don’t even know what ‘support’ means for photography. I get videogame engines because they’re extremely complicated.

Yeah developers. When you sell a game. Anyone can download it and use it. I’m not selling any photo on lightroom. I have no business, it’s a hobby.

Videogame engines are different, but the principle remains to use basic unity it’s free.

This is their students and hobbyists Unity on their website:

Latest version of the core Unity Platform

Free assets to accelerate projects

Resources to get started and learn Unity

Obviously I’ve heard about Unity recently charging obscene amounts but it revolves around sales. It doesn’t cost anyone a penny to download Unity and make a game, once you try to put it on a console and sell it it’s different.

Why would you lose decades of digital images? Only if Adobe fix it so you rely on them. All i want from a photography edit program is to bring in photos, edit them, save them into my own folder, done. I don’t want Adobe to make a digital copy that’s saved in their cloud ‘so i can access it on another computer’. Because it just means i can’t access that photo when I’m offline and spending time in my campervan i am often offline. I’d copy the photo, rename it, still couldn’t open it again to edit. It’s nice being to able to go through hundreds of photos sat there unfinished in lightroom but that’s it.

But that’s a shit system designed to trap you into Adobe. I have photo, i open photo in program, i edit photo, i save photo into my desired folder on my computer, that’s it, that’s all i want.

I don’t think £10 a month is value for money at all, at least something like Netflix will put new films and tv up they’ve financed. With Lightroom I’m paying for access, that’s all. I use 1% of it.

Er i dunno just sell a purchase copy once? I know we live in an ultra capitalistic world full of extreme greed, people don’t have to be cheerleaders for it. Especially when it’s the leading art software company who have chosen to lock out a lot of creatives who can’t afford it.

More complex videogame engine programs like Blender and Unity are free to use.

‘Support’ is a con. You can’t tell me they chose subscription for any other reasons than capitalistic greed.

I still use a pirate copy of photoshop 7, so I’m not interested in fancier versions. I’d use a basic Lightroom forever, I’m not interested in ‘support’.

Students can not afford an extra £120 a year that easily, adobe want to allow professionals to gain an advantage.

£600 isn’t reasonable either. A lot of the lightroom alternatives are £50-£200.

Far more complex software like Blender and Unity are free.

Because it will cost people £120 a year for the rest of their lives to use it? Software shouldn’t be subscription, it’s an enormous con.
