Ah - I see that you have no idea on much in our industry. And you ask why we deleted your posts that have no relevence except perhaps to irk some people.
First of all, Lonnie Teper is not a photographer. He is an emcee that had been to over 300 contests and has done quite a good job at it also. Recently, he just emceed the Ironman Pro, the Arnold Classic and the San Francisco Pro shows. Perhaps you have heard of them. Lonnie does take photographs on his digital for his column in Ironman Magazine. He is not a homo as you enjoy using that word quite a number of times in your posts. He is a respected professor at Pasadena City College, and much definately enjoys the ladies. He also had a girlfriend named Elsa, hmmm, perhaps you saw the picture with Gary Strydom on another thread.
As for other photographers, whatever they do in their lifestyles is their business. But most of them enjoy life, have familes, and enjoy the sport of bodybuilding. Damn Alexxx, you are starting to piss me off here...
As for Shawn Perinne, who came from New York to California to work at AMI's Weider Flex Magazine, he has always been down to earth and realistic with the way he writes, in terms of the sport. He used to come on these boards with the nickname Konger, and now uses his own name, and has contributed greatly. I am not surprised at all you were banned from Ironage, give the extremely articulate threads and posts that you have started. Jeez, I think you are one of the few of make a weekly visit to the Time Out Board, and actually come out of it.
You want to know the photographers, the writers, the people who will actually give you the publicity you hope for in terms of then getting a major sponsorship contract which will bring in the big bucks. The best thing you can do is learn by going to one of the shows, saying hello to various people, and perhaps supporting the sport.
