freeflybella 0 #76 August 9, 2004 QuoteI appreciate the person who has the responsibility for selecting the cover photo. They have a job not many people would be willing to accept. Amen! I'd be willing to bet the photo editor gets shit from people if they choose photos from the same shooters too often - or if the same discipline is chosen too often - or if 'big names' are featured too often - or if 'unknowns' are featured too often. There are plenty of shooters personal sites with some amazing shots to look at. Tony's is a great example. Action expresses priority. - Mahatma Ghandi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All incredible photographers. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyhathaway 0 #80 August 9, 2004 That is a very nice shot. It would go nice anywhere. The only problem is, there are countless others that were taken this week that would make nice cover shots also. Take that times all of the weekends this month, and only ONE photo is going to the September cover. Then comes October it starts all over again. I don't have a problem with people complaining about the photos. It's like the old saying -if you want something done right, do it yourself. Complaining about the photos isn't going to change what the photographers are doing. Shooting better photos then them will. -Tony www.tonyhathaway.comMy O.C.D. has me chasing a dream my A.D.D. won't let me catch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peacefuljeffrey 0 #85 August 9, 2004 I had never thought much about how good or bad the cover photos of the magazine are. I'm still so new to skydiving that I relish seeing anything related to it. Still gives me the thrill of a vicarious skydive! As far as this Kaz goes... If she's this great swooper, and that's the name she's made for herself, why didn't they run a nice action photo of her swooping at some demo or something?? The photo they used (of the head-downexit) is uneventful, so I do agree that it's pretty boring. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I didn't call him any names or even compare him to anything derogatory. The word "that" can mean a lot of things. I even agreed with him that he didn't need to lose weight. I did correct his spelling, but that's hardly a personal attack.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kbone 0 #100 August 10, 2004 QuoteSparky's my hero It appears that it is very important for you to be right about my "fake identity". I find this amusing. Obviously someone is typing this, which proves I do in fact exist somewhere, somehow. Wether you want to believe I'm an 8000 jump skygod or a 1 jump tandem wonder is really your problem and completely irrelevant. How do I know you are not a Troll? Can you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have the experience that you say you do? Can I trust people online who say they in fact "know you" and can vouch for your character? My earlier post still stands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
