Haunting past.........oh boy

Good morning everyone. I hope your weekend is very productive. Normally I post just about everything that is either bothering me or interests me. Well, last night I my past caught up with me. Not any childhood past, but photo showing past. 

I still use messenger(yea I am seriously aging myself here)and I was talking to a few friends that I hadn't talked to in many years. Well, I get a notification that a user needed to talk to me and it was urgent. So, I figured I would see what it was about. I now really wished I hadn't.

This person immediately started telling me that I had to get out of the hobby. Here is the convo
"GypsyColt: You really didn't think I would see that you are STILL showing with crappy photo's? Didn't I tell you years ago to leave the hobby? Your photo's are not worth the paper they are printed on and now your into digital photos? I told you that your models were crap. You CAN'T customize worth shit and your skills are just shit. Yes I seen your photos on Google. All are just crap and need to be deleted off the internet. I can't believe that you didn't take my threat serious. I bet your shitty models get DQ'd alot too. Well they should. They DON'T belong in any photo shows let alone live shows. If I had thought about it when I had your shitty photo's, I would have BURNED them up. I am a qualified judge and had EVERY FUCKING RIGHT to DQ ALL YOUR MODELS. Now do you have anything to say about that?"

No I didn't respond. I didn't want to give this person the pleasure. My temper shot up like a bullet out of a gun. I figured that if I had responded, I would have said something I would regret. So I just hit the ignore button. 

I know who this person is and yes she did judge my photo's back in the early 90's when I was just learning how to take photo's. I didn't have a good quality camera at the time and just used what I had. As for my CM work, I was learning that too. I taught myself the art of blending etc just by looking at other peoples photos. No I am not a big name artist. I didn't ever plan to be. I just cm for the pleasure. Yea so a few of my models had found new homes and to this day the owners are still happy with them. But when this girl shows up years after the fact, it pissed me off.

I don't sit and tell someone that their photo's suck. I give advice to help improve. Yes, I read to improve my own photo's. But to sit there and tell a potential photographer that her photo's suck is just seriously wrong. 

Not all my photo's are great, I know that. The old photo's that I do have are used mainly for my web site. I don't show them. And when I do show them, they go in a special class just for them. 
I have since blocked this person on messenger and also reported her for the comments that she posted. I love to learn to better my photography skills when I can. It's called Trial and Error. We all can't just point and shoot and have a photo that kills. It takes time and practice. Oh well, she is out of my way and I hope that she don't decide to try to friend me on either facebook or google +. I don't need her kind constantly belittling me over something that happened decades ago.
