My Commentary on Nopi Nationals (Long Vent)

[Pablo]

ummm.....i had no problem with my press credentials.
i had the regular red press pass that every idiot had and i also had a pass that said, back stage access.
i never once had a problem with any security during any of the event.
maybe next time you should get real credentials.
not only that, i did not have any problems when i took the golf cart to turn 4 and took pictures with it.
i got plenty of prople int he gate with out a pass and i also new all guys black shirts.
but hey, i have been going to NOPI since 1992 so i guess i have met a few more peole than you.


thats on press....aboutt the judges...
the only reason you placed at nopi last year is becuuse you were in a booth.
everybody knows, whether yoiu car is nice or not, if you are in a booth, you are guarranteed a trophy.
nopi judging has not changed since i started attending the show many years before most of you knew how to go to the bathroom by yourselves.
an older judge is always going to be more inclined to like a domestic hot rod than a piece of shit eclipse.
but that' jus tmy take on it.

i think that you should stop bitching because you did not get to meet ludacris and someone with a cellphone got better pictures than you.
dont worry, i had a pimp camera this weekend and i was pushed to the side by the same cell phone guy, but you dont hear me bitching about it.

end of speach....

have a nice day.

You obviously have a fucking problem with me for obvious reasons Im sure. But I honestly once again dont really care. I honestly laugh at all the shit you say about me

i dont really say shit about you.

Yeah you do, why lie? Go ahead and express your feelings rather than talking behind my back.


I never once said I am "king dick" photographer either. But there's always hater s out there, and you seem to be one of them. I always shook your hand in person, and when all this photography shit started going down, and you started hooking Matt up with shit, you turned your back on me and decided not to be cool with me in person.

[Nemesis]

Really? Im successful, cant say that about everyone I know though.

Sell that to Jay Laub.... Jay Laub and BP easily spent the most at this years Nopi Nats on booth space, Neither car placed....RX7 or NSX. Should he have regardless of booth? Well yeah, but it was just a Nopi screw up....like not judging Marshes Eclipse. I also have personally only done 3/9 in booths as far as getting a trophy. You know I got screwed w/ the Si only gettin a second once, nothing else at any point.
As far as the trans am, sux yeah, but it doesnt matter, it wasnt against the eclipse. I see you are saying that judge paid better attn to that class, but that shows it is fair. That whole class had greater attn, yet equal one to another if the same dude judged them all. The afore mentioned eclipse and its class had less, yet prob equal still one to another.
Our judge really looked over Jeffs car, 4-5 diff times, each time he headed straight to the purple H/B in BASF. I'd say the best judging I've seen at Nopi for any class, especially one packed w/ great cars. Would Jeff done that well in the regular lot? cant really say, but I like to think we won because the car is dope, very clean, displayed well, and we earned it..... booth or not.
So in the end, its all hit or miss, like any car show. When there is 7,000, you have to expect it if you are in a small class, or street category. We know they work hardest in the wild classes, and Honda category.

SURE

it was better than yours.
the camera belongs to Tom Lawson.
I am sure that you know his equiptment.
he does not have a disposable walmart camera.

I guess a photographer is made by his equipment then? What kind of Nikon was it by any chance? Why are you getting into this with me out of curiosity? Your ass was pissed with me at Road Atlanta for a dumbass reason anyways.

no, a phtographer is made by experience, not just by his equiptment.
contrary to popular beleif

No, a photographer is made by talent. You can have all the experience in the god damn world and still be a half ass photographer.


Contrary to popular belief.

you know you are right.

and about the road atlanta deal, i beleive that i had made that perfectly clear before.

i am going to masterbate so that i do not have to post anymore.

No, as a matter of fact. I made it perfectly clear to you that I had cleared shit with Paul, and YOU yourself told me that Matt was supposedly the only photographer there from ImportAtlanta to shoot there and nobody else was supposed to be under IA's name.

[Nemesis]

Not that equipment matters in the least bit, but since you are bringing it up and not I, I think Tom shoots with a D70? (correct me if Im wrong) Im using a D200. Body alone almost cost two thousand, but im sure you already knew that, since you know everything else so well

But once again, not my judement call, and you brought it up. Like I said before, that's not the issue , and equipment does NOT make or break a photographer, TALENT DOES.


Pablo, seriously. What. The. Fuck. You dont know shit about me, yet you say all this on here, AND BEHIND MY BACK.


And you still never answered any of my questions.

Why you trying to make this into a pissing contest? Mine shit is better than yours blah blah blah... who the fuck cares...

Why don't you do something more constructive like help him find out who he needs to talk to next time to have more smooth of a ride?

Just a thought...
