Here’s a long post from a while back concerning, as I thought at the time, the imminent end to my photojournalism career. I’ve been at home with my kids since then but I’m gearing up for a final attempt to re-capture what I once had, starting in September. This time I’m not going to chicken out of making those calls and pounding the pavement etc.. I’ve gotta do it for my kids at the very least.
It’s a good thread. Worth reading. Keeps me focused for sure. Thanks to everyone who posted.

Hmmm… er wasn’t it the infamous Tyler Hicks post?
|
|
|
man, it’s gotta be eos 5d vs D200 as far as I remember..lost the link though :(((
|
That Nikon V Canon topic spread out over several threads from time to time.
|
Sorry Gayle, I did turn around three times and spat before I typed the name…
|
lol… good
no sign of Bettlejuice yet…
|
“Beetlejuice” “Beetlejuice” “Beetlejuice”
Ah shit What have I done.
|
Some of the picture threads went on for ages too. I’ll see what I can find.
|
Hey Mark what you’ve done is turn this thread into the longest for being (and no disrespect intended Siddharth!) inconsequential.
Hey everybody Mark is responsible!
|
So what’s wrong with inconsequential? Think about it: most of the world’s troubles are caused by people who think they have to be consequential all the time. You never heard of a war started by an accordion player, have you? I rest my case.
|
The Blue thread went on the longest that I remember.
Oh Mark! lol
|
Wasn’t the Iraqi war started by an accordian player?
|
Ah to hell with consequences. So which one of the Neo-Cons plays the accordian then?
Old Beetlejuice is taken his time. Lets try this instead!
Candyman Candyman Candyman Candyman……..Ah nothing. Never did believe in Urban legends anyway.
|
Oh, when did you become such cynic, Mark? oh, tsk, tsk! (o:
|
That comes with old age. I used to be a realist but you get pushed around being a realist so why not become a cynic…it’s much more fun.

|

AArrgghhh!! I am jokinng!!!!lemme go!!
|
Hi Sam, I am a photographer based in the UK and understand you are always on the lookout for photographers and journalists, especially those in Africa, Asia and South America. I use Canon D5, Nikon D200 and Leica M8. Which do you think is best?
And do you have any work for me? Please visit my website at www.longestthread.co.uk

out of theme…
Hello Siddharth,
for someone who is a photographer for something more than two years you are a very interesting one.
You have the good “material” in your hands and good approaching.
India. A lot of color and people.
My “india” is very limited here in the “west” mostly on poor gypsies and minorities ,one of the ways to work color in a country sourounded by grayness and laws how protect individuals from photographers.(The poor people believe they are protected and not watched . )
But that is another story.
I personally like Harry Gruyaerts work from india he is inspiring me a lot and sure from many others.
I put you on my network.
Bye
George

OK I am now invoking the right to call upon the GODS of photojournalism!
VII/MAGNUM/NYT/NG/JOHNVINK/PAOLO/ME (well we need at least ONE GODDESS!)
Have any of you something to add to the most inconsequential thread of all?
|
Yeah Leica M9 Is it any good? or not!
|
I think this is getting silly P (black cameras, lenses, laptop, printer, ink and a cat)
|
OK What camera? Leica M10 or Canon D5 What lens, the best focal lenth What Laptop? What printer? and is your cat a male or female. etc etc etc etc
|
don’t mention the Canon 5d, you’ll start it off again
|
5D,5D,5D !!!!!
Well Mark did it!
|
Oh you’ve really done it now Lisa. Trying to Resurrect Beetlejuice is bad but not the 5D!
Why?
|
Will digital kill-off film?
hehehe…
|
Doesn’t anyone have any work to do? If you’re all not careful I’ll start extolling the virtues of my D200 !!!!!!! P (trying to make this the longest thread and hence end the conversation)
|
Not working until tonight Paul-that D200, what do you think about the drive grip? (only joking!!)
|
about as good as a chocolate teapot, I have high hopes for the d300’s being just as bad P
|
ack(my best german) we all need a bit of fun sometimes….P
