I wasn't complaining, just explaining!

Here is the very first World Class event I photographed ... one that got me my gig at the casino.

Tony is my mate incase you wondered, he insisted I take him to the church on his wedding day, which I happily did!

[DwightMcCann]

that's nice mate, you have a very unique style, I like ;)
Assuming you mean me, my agreement with the casino not only started as a result of this collage, but it made doing a collage for every event a requirement. The down side is that I am not a graphic artist nor very artistic so it is very hard for me to make these. The up side is that I have to do it so I have a lot of experience ... over 100 of them so far.

[DwightMcCann]

Does that fact that almost everything I am posting here contains the Chumash Casino Resort logo offend anyone? These collages encompass the best of my images from these events as well as significant processing time and stretch my extremely limited artistry way past its limits. They are not advertisements ... they are provided to the casino as handmade prints and wind up on executives walls ... the logo is there simply to identify where the images were shot. Fr' instance, while they mostly have dates notice that there are no ticket prices, phone numbers to call to get tickets, or directions to the casino. These are artworks, not PR pieces. But, I can understand if having a logo not mine disturbs somehow more than the Subaru or Pirelli logos on the above image since they really are trying to sell something, are advertising and are a significant portion of the image ... because every racing car has them! So, if having my collages is a burden, please let me or the Moderators know (they will contact me if there is a problem, I am sure) and we'll do something different. Thank you. Now, on with the show:

Dwight, I certainly have no problem with the resort logo. It identifies where the artist was performing while not interfering with the shot. As for your artistic talent - well, based on these, I wish I had a quarter of it.

Just my 2p (English money ;))

Why do you ask? Have you had a complaint?

I had a very polite query which made me realize that there might be an issue. Since it costs nothing to ask I thought I would. Besides having little talent I am also socially challenged and could easily have been offending everyone without having a clue.

The part in bold there makes no sense at all, all I see is talent from your shots, great work!

I have no issue with your collages, keep them coming ;)

[thomascanty]

I can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with you posting your collages in here, Dwight. I don't see anything wrong with it or the logo. Many people on this forum, including myself, stamp all of the photos they post with their own logo. That's more of an intentional advertisement than you putting a Chumash Casino logo on your work.

[dilorenzo1954]

Face First
http://i.pbase.com/o6/13/489513/1/76937636.N4XjUX4b.ouch.jpg
No, I don't see this one either ... but when I pull up the html source and cut & paste the image URL into my browser the image of the bird came up. I then saw it in the page. But when I reloaded the page it was gone again. So the link is correct but there is something odd about the html. Are you using the "Insert Image" menu button?

I just tried it and it didn't work either ... except by loading the image using the URL, then it shows up and disappears on reload. I then tried it in IE and just get a red 'x'. So, there's something about the URL embedded in the html that's unfriendly ... that's as much diagnostic as I know. As a wild guess I wonder if the periods in your image names might be confusing the browser.

[Road2Show]

oh well, I give up. :(
