A vote!

[Dryball]

Shall we continue these photos of what not to do...or shall we end it now? All I need is a vote of "continue" or "stop"

i say continue. But in saying that there is a big difference in constructive criticism and poking fun, as long as its not insulting i say go for it but people its hard tell tone of a comment when its typed.

What 2506 said.
On another note...might get more responses from a poll.

Do you mean as in.... "what's wrong with this photo".... thing ??

If so, I vote for continuing...
I know absolutely 'squat'  of what is correct or not..
I enjoy them...it's a "valuable learning experience" for me...(How's that for PC verbage?  )

[Del Gue]

Continue. They are very educational.

i say continue, i don't know squat about being period correct dress, but at least i might get to spot a timex every so often... maybe even a work boot...

now, what weapon was used and if it is period correct, different story.

saw a western on tv yesterday, Audie Murphy playing Jesie James, riding with Quantrill, during the civil war, one guy had a 1875 remington, (yes the funny trimed web) and all shot SAA 1873 or later, and trap door springfields.

not one front stuffer, no cap & Ball , and no henry's

I know its hollyweird, but come on...

[roundball]

Stop it as it's currently being used and find a different way to achieve the same end.

This whole discussion has revealed and eye-opening aspect to me...I do think it is wrong to use photos of real people, as a target for discussion on the wide open Internet.

There has to be other ways to approach this and still devise a learning vehicle, but IMO, not with a real, unsuspecting individual as the centerpiece.

continue, i have enjoyed them immensely!

maybe members should submit their own photos, thus giving there own consent and it will then help them change their own persona.

i agreew with round ball, and 2506, self submitted photos, or submitted with permission, i know i would be very upset if i was checking out a new website and found MY photo there of what i thought was my best persona, and it was being picked apart.

Kinda like finding your daughter on the cover of an adult magazine...

Stop.... Don't use photos of real people unless they know what's going to be done with the photo and give you written consent.  You can download photo release forms on line.  I think you might have opened yourself up for trouble by posting a photo of a real person unless you had permission from that person.  I think it would be wise to delete the whole thread.   My 2¢

[Dryball]

Okay then...do we have any volunteers? Is anyone willing to have there photo up here to be checked for mistakes and what needs to be done to they're outfit to improve it?
