Ignore The Minus One all he can do is criticise but never puts up any of
his work. You can safely ignore this sad and frustrated idiot.

I have to agree. Besides taking too long for each image to load, the
"portraits" are awful, and the landscapes are downright boring.

Well I'm glad you have mastered the art of being a total jerk.  What
other services and talents do you offer?  I actually have had several
successful gallery shows and I sell prints pretty regularly. I asked
for constructive feedback and all you offer is a flame job.  How about
growing up and learning how to critique properly?

Well that was constructive...

Hi Lee,
try wearing glasses. Its obvious you are blind and a total jerk. You
and Chris both have no tact and no talent for anything other than
flaming me.  I designed the site myself and as a beginner at web
design, I think I did pretty good for my first go around.  Maybe you
should come to my gallery show in LA next Spring. I won the juried
competition. Then you will see and understand that: 1. the web
degrades picture quality, 2. the prints are amazing and sell pretty
well, 3. I have been published in several magazines. 4. my gallery
show(this next one will be my 16th show) draw a lot of crowds.
Actually, I will make sure and post photos so you can see for
yourself.  Maybe next time you will learn how to critique instead of
flame...Your so childish its really sad and I pity you....

As far as bandwidth, that is not the problem. The pictures are tested
and load in less than 5 secs.  Try using a different browser instead
of Explorer..

As soon as I saw the black background I knew tha the
designer of the site was more interested in looking to be in
style than trying to show the photos to best advantage.

A person viewing a Web page with a black background has less
light entering his eyes.  Like a camera that opens the
aperture to compensate for low light, the eye opens its
iris.  As with a camera, a larger iris translates into
poorer acuity.  Anyone who knows photography should
understand that.

It is hard to read the small print on the pages, especially
the small print in dark blue at the bottom of the opening page.

Hey  there, thanks for the constructive criticism. Its nice to see at
least one person here who has that talent.  The other childish posters
up above up above apparently are in  need of a nap and a fig newton...

Take care what you say to him....

I just got the following strange email from followfocus....

From: N [mailto:followfocus@gmail.com]
Sent: Friday, December 21, 2007 7:26 PM

Subject: Harassment from one of your employees
I would appreciate it if you would please put a stop to Chris Hills
constant defamatory language against me and my website all over the
net.  I will be having my lawyer send a cease and desist order for
slander and libel to your location as the harassing emails and posts are
coming from your company IP address range.

Thank you..

As far as I know I have never even looked at his web site. Much less
commented on it.

However I don't know if I have said any harsh words to Gary in the usual
cut and thrust of NG debate. I may have done. But certainly not
"constantly". You should see some of the other NG's they make this one
seem tame.

Has anyone else had any similar humorous emails?  Personally I am not
likely to travel to the US so he can do what he likes with a lawyer.

To everyone

I have just had an email exchange with John Nicholson
Co owner and creator Followfocus Productions
http://www.followfocusproductions.com

It appears that back in December a former employee on being let go from
Followfocus managed to use various company email accounts to attack
various people, including myself, as senior staff members of
Followfocus.

The highly offensive, homophobic and xenophobic rants from this former
employee masqurading as a senior memebr of Followfocus have nothing in
to do with Followfocus or the far more professional emails I have just
received.

The posts in this thread where I copied emails  from Followfocus were in
fact  caused by this rouge employee. NOT Follofocus.

Therefore I have decided to post this clarification. BTW Followfocus
have not asked me to do this, it is my own idea as I think it is only
fair to Followfocus who have had their business sabotaged by a former
employee.

Regards
  Chris
