On the Forum's Value

[Leigh]

Yes it is!

Who are the professional bloggers here?

People come and go here, I bet most don't actually shoot large format. Isn't that the case with any special interest forum? The only solution would be fees and qualifications, maybe a referral system? My buddies like mdm could blackball me. Like a sorority.

[Leigh]

Why, Frank. I didn't know you belonged to a sorority! We learn something new about you every day.

I guess that's how you met/meet all your models, yes???

Shouldn't you be out shooting?

Speaking of this forum, it seems common for people to abbreviate it as LFF, but the banner at the top of my screen says "Large Format Photography Forum." Wouldn't the more accurate acronym be LFPF? Did I miss the memo?

As for the forum's value, that seems to be something we each must determine for ourselves. If this one no longer offers what you're looking for you can always start your own.

Perhaps the OP could have been more clear that the excerpt he was quoting was his own (see post #20):

I think he's mad because in that thread about ederphoto he shared his own sketchy deal experience by commenting that a "black guy turned out to be honest in the end" and some people - non shooting professional bloggers, I suspect - thought it was strange that melatonin had anything to do with ethics.

Verrrrrrry interrrrrresting.

Please tell me that you're joking.

Oh, don't bother. I just saw all of the deleted posts. That's worse than I could have imagine all on my own.
