Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / October 2007Flaunting The Totally Fabulous 500 In The Rain!
Well kiddies, I got my new 2x torque converter yesterday. I planned to take it down to the bay and play with it for the day, but the weather totally sucks on the East Coast. Since today is deemed a mass for shut-ins I had to improvise and light em up in the back yard. Even with the massive horsepower of the MK III the 2x torque converter with its high stall pulled through admirably. <http://www.geocities.com/ritaberk2007/500.htm> Rita On Oct 27, 10:48 am, Rita ?

Actually, yes. I am jealous of people who can afford the best equipment but haven't a clue on how to use it. IOW, fools like Rita. Of course, that doesn't apply to you, D-Mac, since your monthly stipend from your daughter only allows you to buy cheap crap like Panasonics, Sigmas, and LCDs. Is it true that your little apartment is so small that you have to go outside to change your mind? BWAHAHAHAAA!!!

Of course if you made an effort to afford the equipment, like going to school applying yourself finding a good job and saving money by not buying video games and anything else you really can't afford, you too could afford them, or are you too inept to make a good living so you blame the rest of the world and hate anyone who can afford what you can't? It's really quite simple, if you want something, you work for it. Quit wasting your time worrying about someone else who has something. Honestly it is not about who has the most toys at the end, but how you used the toys you had. SignatureJoseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit >> Actually, yes.

You've already proven yourself to be a racist who thinks their sh.t don't stink because you've got a little bank. And exactly how do I live off "the system?" If "the system" means working in a shitty job that I hate to make ends meet and paying taxes then I guess I'm living off the system like a lot of other people. Maybe I should live in my basement like you do and play EBAY all day and claim to make $30,000/month from it (or was it $60,000?). >> Yep, that's our Bret.

I'm sure I donate more money to charity and the community annually than you make in one year. It feels good to give. You ought to try it some time. > And exactly how do I live off "the system?"

Hey, that's your fault for being so stupid and envious of everyone around you. If you applied more time bettering yourself instead of wasting it on worrying about what everyone else has you might have made something of yourself. The world is passing by and it is running over you. And it really makes one wonder if you really have a set of balls when you take "gifts" from someone that is mentally and emotionally challenge. If this really happened, shame on you for taking advantage of the situation. A real man would have had enough self-respect and refused the 40D, but you being.... Well? sh.t, you have a basement? I haven't a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. Who claimed $30k a month in eBay earning? I make mere pocket change selling Beanie Baby and Beanie Baby accessories. I'm really not sorry that my pocket change affords me the opportunity to buy a few toys. I used to feel sorry for you, now I just pity you. Rita > Who claimed $30k a month in eBay earning? I make mere pocket > change selling Beanie Baby and Beanie Baby accessories. Actually, you made that claim ... and it was $60K a month. The text of that post is provided below. Of course that was before you started letting Google delete your posts after a few days, the mark of a common troll. It seems you aren't too popular on the EBAY groups either. One poster accurately described you as a "bland, repetitive a.s pimple." LOL! Sucks to be you, a.s pimple! =========================== From: "Rita A.

These guys are getting better. My account is suspended, according to the title of the e- mail. This is news to me since I average $60K+ a month in sales and have no problems with eBay.

Signaturejohn mcwilliams >> There is a difference in gross sales and profit. > > Seldom less than 25%, and sometimes exceeding 100%! Well it is possible that it may exceed 100% if you are selling something that you obtained, and delivered at a negative cost (like being paid more than it cost you to remove trash and then sell it for more than it cost you to deliver it. Then again it is not at all unusual to sell something at less than 0% . :-) SignatureJoseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit >> This is news to me since I average $60K+ a month in sales > > There is a difference in gross sales and profit. Ssshhh! Don't tell him that. He really thinks I'm making money. I supplemented last month's eBay income with the aluminum beer cans I collected. It was great, we all feasted on a six-pack of Spaghetti-O's. Rita >> Who claimed $30k a month in eBay earning? I make mere pocket >> change selling Beanie Baby and Beanie Baby accessories. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > letting Google delete your posts after a few days, the mark of a > common troll. Clearly a forgery. Everyone knows that I average about $6 a month with my Beanie Baby sales. Though, admittedly, last month was spectacular as I made $11.35. > It seems you aren't too popular on the EBAY groups either. > One poster accurately described you as a "bland, repetitive a.s > pimple." Yep, pretty much the same idiots I stimulated on that group share an interest in the photography groups. I figure I can kill two birds with one stone by stroking the idiots over here. > LOL! Sucks to be you, a.s pimple! Sure does. I'm glad that I hold a special place in your heart that you have taken the time to research my past comedy routines. Remember, it's not how much money you have it's how you spend it if you want to be successful. Buy low, follow the 18-month rule, and sell high.

I have found that the best way to expose bad liars and idiots like you is to use their own words against them. The bad liars always make the mistake of changing their story.

Yep, they usually go for a $1.98 and on a good day you can get the two for a dollar special. They still bring home more money than you. It must suck being you?

Talent. I got mad skills and I wouldn't trade them for all of your precious equipment. Now go polish your lenses and dream about being able to take a decent pic.

Right you do if you consider making Photoshop animations a talent. You'll make it as a cartoonist, but never as a photographer. Look on the web and see what real photographers are doing. The sad thing is you can't make it in the real world and you take your impotent frustrations out on helpless people like D-Mac to elevate your low self-esteem. No wonder you pick on D-Mac, he's a better photographer than you. Now go wallow in your lonely sea of envy while I polish the old 500 and tuck it in for the evening. > Who Rules??? Surely not you. Rita > LOL! Right you do if you consider making Photoshop animations a talent. > You'll make it as a cartoonist, but never as a photographer.

Not too many pros that don't use Photoshop these days. > No wonder you pick on D-Mac, he's a better photographer than you. LOL! You're a laugh riot! I think you just destroyed whatever small amount of credibility you thought you had with that statement. There are many, many people who are better photographers than me, but D-Mac ain't one of them. Maybe you've been drinkin from the D-Mac Kool-aid? Next you'll be selling all your expensive Canon gear to buy that Crapasonic or Sigma junk that D-Mac/Preddy always touts. >> LOL!

There > are many, many people who are better photographers than me, but D-Mac > ain't one of them. Right! That's why you continually bust his balls? If you weren't so jealous of him you would simple ignore him. It makes us wonder what insecure nerve of yours he is plucking? You're kinda like the lonely little insure schoolyard bully picking on the weak and helpless kid because you know at the end of the day they have a life far superior to yours. Most people outgrow these feelings when they turn six. > Maybe you've been drinkin from the D-Mac Kool-aid? > Next you'll be selling all your expensive Canon gear to buy that > Crapasonic or Sigma junk that D-Mac/Preddy always touts. I have no problem with D-Macs choice of equipment, why should you worry about it? Again, maybe you feel threatened because he can produce images equal to or better than yours with the lowly "Crapasonic" any day of the week. Rita >> There are many, many people who are better photographers than me, but D-Mac > > ain't one of them. > > Right! That's why you continually bust his balls? If you weren't so > jealous of him you would simple ignore him. I enjoy watching and busting him on his fabrications, each one bigger than the last. It's cheap entertainment, kinda like you going to the park to spy on schoolchildren. >> Right! That's why you continually bust his balls?

Just admit to yourself that D-Mac is a better photographer and has a far better life than you and you will feel better about yourself. I see you keep thinking of the children. Those urges flaring up again? Rita > Giving you a 1D3, a 500 f/4L, and a 2X TC is like giving Stevie Wonder > a Ferrari. > What a waste. LOL! I can understand your pain it's called jealousy. You see, I have a legitimate and registered copy of CS3 while some people don't. I even get asked by parents to take pictures of their kids at sporting events. You see, they trust me since they know I'm going to be professional about it. Hell, some people are jealous of Stevie because he can use the "drive by feel" method when he takes the old Ferrari out for a spin. See, if you would have followed the 18-month rule you would be behind the totally awesome Mk III, though it would be a waste because you would screw up the images in Photoshop.

So I can safely say any blurry photos are pilot error. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a 1.4x TC and see if I can get good performance with both TCs stacked on the 500. I probably won't be able to use it handheld since I'm at my limits now with what I got. Rita > Well kiddies, I got my new 2x torque converter yesterday.
