Wow.

His photographs aren't that good. No wonder they're for free...

Actually my friend saw an image of the turtles in the Sun Magazine which
is how she found the web site. And a quick search also showed him
published in another magazine. Good enough to be published I guess.

It is weird that you sound mean and sarcastic about it. Why is that? Can
I see some of your photographs?

This world is f.cked up. It seems someone does something nice and look
what you get.

Don't worry about people like Hans, they're just newsgroup clowns

My Photographs?

Take a look at:

They are for free too!

Login required, what a joke.
From the thumbnails one can easily see that you lack the creativity that
Bonnano has
Hans Schoelink - 28 Feb 2006 08:26 GMT
I can send you a couple of shots via e-mail... Free of charge! Just let me
know and I will try to find some creative ones.

YOU GUYS NEED TO GET A LIFE AS AFTER READING THIS I HAVE YET TO GET THE
POINT OF YOUR ENTIRE DIALOG.

JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THERE ARE SMALL LETTERS AVAILABLE ON THE
KEYBOARD TOO.

The guy was self-promoting his website using a phony name, trying to
make everyone think he's NOT self-promoting, and he's getting spanked
for it. It's considered incredibly bad netiquette, it would have been
much better form to just come out and say who he was and invite
everyone to visit. He may have taken some lumps, but it would at least
show he had the courage to stand up for his creations. He even pulled
his blog down because someone took offence at his cr@ppy penmanship and
lack of conviction and basically called him a mental masturbator.

You guys are messed up. I am not the person who owns the site. Have fun
thinking that however, I'd love to take credit. I still don't know why
you are all pissy about someone giving away free images. Is it that
threatening?

Well, I went to your site but you have to be a member to look at the big
images. So they are not free, are they. Also, the other guy offers very
high resolution images. Yours are only good for the web.

Also, it is very easy to go to some exotic place and take pictures.
http://www.come-along.nl/ You're images are very ordinary. African
animals. Wowwee. That white Rhino has a fricking branch in front of it's
face.

Seems your just an ordinary greedy motherf..ker and you'll never realize
what true freedom means.

He's charging a little bit more than they're worth, in my opinion.

But MOST annoying - what gives him the bloody right to resize my browser
window?  That is MOST unforgiveable.

He's no Weston but really, do you think this is a bad photo?
http://christianbonanno.com/portfoliotwo/27.html
or this one?
http://christianbonanno.com/portfoliothree/34.html

I am really finding it weird how negative people are about it. Is my
taste that poor?

> But MOST annoying - what gives him the bloody right to resize my browser

Yeah, that's a bitch. But then again, what gives anyone the right to
force me to look at the images they have on their website. :^)

Please indicate when or where you were *forced* to look at anything on the
internet?  Who tied you to the monitor and glued your eyelids open?

Who forced you to go to christianbonanno.com?

You should hear yourself! That was perfectly ironic!
Helen - 27 Feb 2006 21:31 GMT
> Who forced you to go to christianbonanno.com?

Nobody forced me.  I *chose* to click your link.  That was my own free will.

> You should hear yourself! That was perfectly ironic!

You were talking about being forced.  There is a difference between force
and free will - at least here in the western world.
I suggest you should hear yourself and consider the concept known as choice.

And your pictures - and now I have no doubt they are yours - are still
overpriced.

Smart move.
The only time I comment negatively is in response to a boast or etc., or
where someone wants critique.
There are other situations where the subject matter is presented in such a
way as to invite wild comments...like the recent post of vamping
strippers...  Yuck!

If I had a website you would gladly have the URL, but I don't,  I work for
commissioning clients and agencies.  I don't need to hawk my wares like you
do, but, like you, I do charge what they're worth.

Not denying it's your own "work" (I'm using the word advisedly) I see?

If you chose to click that link then you deserve what you get. You Moron.

You don't argue very well do you?  I see you conveniently snipped out parts
of my reply.
By posting the link, and letting people choose whether to click it or not,
you're saying they get what they deserve - so you don't think much of the
pics either.

You're no fun any more.

Just for the record John can you tell us that you are in no way
associated with christianbonanno.com

 And also for the record, a peek at their message headers shows
this for John Sessions and Christian Bonanno:

 and based on their writing styles, John Sessions sounds remarkably
like Christian Bonanno.  Maybe it's just a strange coincidence. :)

Through this thread I haven't been able to help thinking how similiar
Bonanno and bonobo are.  The latter is a small chimp. An ape.

I couldn't help thinking, "Banana."
Perhaps theres a correlation there...

 And bonobos are known for their ability to derive much pleasure
from their nearly nontop, uh, sessions . . .
