LIRL!!! the man himself signed on.. he should def. hook us up to "sway" opinions..
I can't believe I read 12 pages of this.. it was interesting none the less and very educational.. funny how the thread starts as one thing and ends up as another..
but reading this, makes me not want to buy products from NOPI nor "rep" nopi..
the only time like Pablo, Paul, etc said that the word NOPI was used is once a year or like in most cases the word will come up when someone is selling a shitty nopi intake/exhaust/sway bar in the cars for sale or car parts forum..
on to george, I've met you a few times, seemed "non chalant" to want to talk to me, but I didn't get offended, but like I've said to many members of this forum, if I had a decent enough camera, I'd take some good ass pics too and post them up, I actually have a few "note worthy" photos but its not my thing to post.. I thrive on DRAMA.. but I feel that when you post pics of your photoshoots and what not and people comment on them and are like "great shoots" etc, it kinda does fuel the fire for you to be like damn I'm good yadda yadda.. Its great that a local guy is getting a piece of the national attention, not hating! I've posted a few times in your photo threads.. so I'm not trying to contradict myself..
but this is no way to hate on you whatsoever, you have talent, but if everyone had the same medium and platform you'd have there would be 100's of photographers on IA that would have some bad ass pics.. and some photography comes with experience and LUCK, some shots are caught in a blink of an eye and some are there to capture that.. as for me I'll stick with my discounted $50 olympus camera that has like 3 megapixels.. but I do have access to a nikon that you use, but only when I'm west coasting..
its your passion and it helps you establish yourself and business for further endeavors.. but I as with many others have other passions other than to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on cameras and equipment, but like I said, its what gives you conviction and its more than a hobby..
your in conyers and I'm in stockbridge.. we should do coffee at the starbucks homey..
and I'm not afraid to speak my mind on the forum, which you said some people are scared of doing..
remember, not bashing.. just constructive criticism..
twoONEoh
what happened ??
NY STAY HIGH !!!
^^^ nah, just read EVERYTHING..
twoONEoh
well when i met george, he actually came up to me, introduced, shook hands, talked a lil, he said nice car, took some pics and then we chit chatted some more....cant say the same for halfwit on here, he was anti social and racise

Paul touched my "spot" when I met him.
So did George.
No beef!
LIRL.. I met halfwit a few months ago when he had the 240.. those crazy emo kids...
twoONEoh
I bought a speaker from halfwit.
We made him meet us at the varsity.
He was so EMO he cried when it sold.

When did we meet bro? I honestly hate when I cant remember someone that walks up to me. I have a shitty memory sometimes especially when Im concentrating on something else. Im glad you didnt take it personal though man. Good equipment does help anyone take better shots. I was having that discussion this morning with someone. I dont take comments from people that say "good shots" as inflating my head or ego , I take them as compliments and acknowledgement that im doing something right. It is what they are though right? I mean, I have tons of photos Id like to share, but people would think Im just whoring my shit out to either get exposure or just to show off or something. Thats not what I want, and thats why I usually dont post anything unless its an event I cover, because I know a lot of people dont get to go to all of them. I never once said I was better than anyone else, nor did I ever say Im "king shit" of photography like someone else said. A lot of those comments stem from how they percieve things, and I cant control that. I do my own thing and if people like my style they hire me, if they dont they move on. Weddings is where the money is at for me right now, and Ive had many satisfied clients, one of them being a long time member on here. Im proud of the work I do, and the quality I reproduce. If Joe Schmo could reproduce my shots, then by all means go ahead and make some money. But people say that shit just to get under your skin, and I simply laugh at it. If people could copy someone elses style without making it obvious we'd all have a bunch of clone photographers and identical pictures floating around. Its stupid and just plain ignorant to think that way. I have my own style just like other photographers have their own style. Some are more successful in their niche market they go into. I love shooting Formula D events and have been approached by some "important" people about some gigs next season. Photography started as a hobby for me 5 years ago, and recently its starting to turn into a profession. I could care less what that kid JimmyB or Pablo thinks of my work, because in the end they arent paying my bills. Its the people that thank me for providing them memories of their events that will last a lifetime and photos that will endure the test of time. That is all I do. I started with a 80 dollar Samsung camera I won at a computer show, so hey we all start somewhere huh? Im only 23 and by the time Im 30 im sure ill be coming back on here maybe and laughing at all the haters and how I prove them wrong :-)
Ill pm you my number man, Im in Stockbridge a good bit.
We met at the April V meet.. and I think we kinda sorta spoke at one of those "southside" meets..
but yeah, I guess you could definately classify the responses as compliments..
but I totally understand the whole thing with posting more pics up and people thinking your whoring the boards up...
but its all good.. we all have to get are feet wet somewhere.. but everyone does have their own style.. but what exactly is your style? photography wise? I'm totally "photography for dummies" when it comes to someones specific style.. lighting? texture? what?
props to you..
twoONEoh

Well you can think of style as the definition term of how you are shooting. Either it be portrait, candid (photojournalistic), black and white, hand tinted, etc etc. Or you can look at it this way. I think style is more of a personal signature on the photograph you take. Such as, when I see a photo, I say to myself, wow that looks like something Ansel Adams would have taken, or something of that sort
Hey Mark
As previously stated in this thread HAD nothing to do w/ IA staff... the photographer posting was there under another company. Glen and his wife then get on here and start shit about IA staff and the board. I find it very unprofessional for them to come to my place and disrespect us. It would be like me going to your corporate location and doing the same. Glen/Wife have a problem w/ the photographer thats fine... we allow him to post on here just as we allow you guys. But bringing us into the mix is just childish and lame.
This isn't the 1st time Glen/wife have started shit w/ the IA staff... his wife got on here accusing us of stealing cars in atlanta and Glen got in my face at HIN like he was some big shot after running is mouth publicly to tons of local industry people. If that is the type of people you want respresenting you then you can't question the backlash your company gets from such actions. You may want to keep a short leash on your employees/reps because you may find your self in legal issues.
Thanks by the way I never heard back from you in July when I left you email/VM I'm guessing you did not have any intentions on working with us on NOPI Nat/Tunerfest. I do appreciate you guys deleting my post about our event yet posting about NOPI on our site.

Well I have no issues with IA and would welcome the opportunity to work together rather than the way thing seem to be now. You are certainly welcome to poast anything you want on our site. This is really not a public matter so I'll discuss with you later on the phone.

I see the user NOPITECH viewing this thread..
TECH? Whats that mean, you can put clear taillights on cars? graphics on sunfires? and zebra seats or whatever?
NOPI is trash. People who attend the events for the most part are trash.
ONly proplem i have with NDRA is Glen,him and i have went at it a few times on H-T.He dont respect anyone and he thinks hes in this HIGH ass position. Yea maybe his knees while sucking someone off.
Half the racers cant stand his ass becasue how he comes off to them.Im sorry but too make any company work you have too make your customers/racers happy.And dealing with Glen ass pisses everyone off.Thats why alot of people dont have anything to do with NDRA or nopi,becasue the CUSTOMER SERVICE YOU GUYS HAVE!!!!
Seems you have no issues with some of your idiot reps showing their true colors, either. Dumbass shit. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
THis is what I mentioned earlier. A battery tecnichian at Wal-Mart is probably better qualified to talk cars, than this trick. Later, QD.

Wow what a long an interesting read... I too find it funny how one person comes on here to voice their opinion on how they were treated and it gets completely turned around into a horse shit slingin contest.
I also agree with everyone on the Glen issue and him mis-representing his company. It seems to me that he doesn't have any respect what so ever for those who have the slightest negative thing to say about Nopi.
However on the same note it was nice to see Mark come in here and make a REAL professional statement, but then again he also didn't address the issue of his employee causing a rucus and producing slander against those affiliated with Import Atlanta.
Ok, Good Day! That is all.
Really? Name 4. lol
YEA...IM AN ASSHOLE
