I'm guessing that you used the wrong utensil just because it was at hand.
My neighbour's kid is pretty happy when he dresses up as a cowboy and runs around the hallways of our building. Yet he lacks the wisdom to see that his happiness can never be complete until he takes stylized pictures of his roleplay accessories and posts them on the interwebs. Maybe you can show him the way.Originally Posted by holymadness
As with Babar, so too with me.

Whodini and phatguido will cease to have a reason to post if we ban lifestyle photos.Originally Posted by Stazy
They can post for the sheer love of StyleForvm, like I do.
The average styleforvm user's lifestyle consists of sitting in front of a computer all day, with regular breaks to go take pictures of themselves in the office restrooms.Originally Posted by robin
Those with laptops take no breaks.

I'm actually going to provide a counterpoint. I don't mind them, and often they're quite interesting. Some are done more tastefully than others, of course.
FWIW, IMO the constant snark from many forum regulars only contributes to the "problem." When you post a meal, however unpretentiously, and 4 or 5 folks chime in about the silverware, or the tablecloth, or the non-SF-approved chair leg in the distant background, is it any wonder that people strive to make every photo just-so?

Circle this date on the calendar, folks. It is the day when edina did not fail.Originally Posted by Douglas
It's actually the best post in the thread, though robin's is a close second.

This is part of the same problem. The same people who post pictures of their lifestyle fantasies are those who critique others' for being insufficiently iGent.

disagree. i can think of several examples of those who make these sorts of snarky observations and also profess a dislike of lifestyle photos.
they would probably respond by saying "well, what am I supposed to do, push all my knoll/saarinen/eames to the side of the room when taking a WAYWRN photo? It's not as though I can get off the yacht - we're 300 yards offshore of Nice - would you prefer I take my photo on the Promenade?"

I remember posting something similar (a lot shorter, but similar) a few years ago. Nobody seemed to agree with me. I hope they agree with you.Originally Posted by iammatt

I like phat guido's photographs quite a lot.
The Precambrian explosion came in the summer of 2009. I also found that interesting, although some people hated (and continue to hate) it.
