Agreed, those photos are far from any good and they are kind of repulsive.  I took my daughters and grandson down too cause I didn't want them associated with these girls.

This is a BB board. Women BB's belong here. The internet is full of the bony fashion look you hanker after. Go find it and knock yourselves out.

Keep the women athletes coming. Picsman, she's lived with this stuff in the real world to have achieved what she has, the net is no different.

Definately a fan of hard work.

cheers
Ripleeeyyyyyyyyyyy

I don't think Picsman is an actual photographer.  He is a fan who buys a case of those disposable cameras at one time and goes at it.  Considering the camera he uses the photos are okay.  A better camera would get better results.  And maybe in a couple of the pics turing off the lights and leaving the lens cap on would be a good idea.  Other than that he is good. ::)

These guys are not as good as everyone thinks.
Good at fooling people into thinking that they are good is all.
and good at photo image editing.

I like the darker image.

What's wrong with using Photoshop to create the desired effect?

John's subject compositions are unique enough , every professional photographer photoshops images to get best possible quality and image clearity– but picman’s images are just point and shoot style – low grade amateur at best.

I like Sunstar.  I have been on many photo shoots with him and he is very simple when he shoots.  A camera and one reflector.  Thats it. We would drive around the island to follow the sun if it got cloudy.  Most of his pics were taken right at his beatiful beach house in Lanikai.  One of the mst picture perfect views in all of Hawaii.  The sand is powder and the waters are clear as heck with some smaller islands about 1/2 mile off shore.

Joe Valdez has a great collection of pictures, when he passed away, he left them for Bill Comstock to take care of.  While these are some of the best, us little guys watch, and take pictures in the hopes of one day elevating to that level. Isaac Hinds takes pictures for NPC/Ironman, Irv Gelb for various magazines, Bill Comstock for Ironman/Graphic Muscle, Ian for bb.com, dont forget Robert Kennedy and John Bailik and J.M. Manion takes pics respectively. As for me, I try to take some good shots, and once in a while, a clasic shot is there!

A little weird to shoot with though sometimes.

Ain't that the truth.  He did several sessions with my kids.  He's a little strange.

Yes his use of color is the best around.  He does allot for the magazines.  Here are some more.  And it is beautiful here.

You shot with Sun.  I might have some pics of your kids.  He gave me several CD's with pics.  Are any of these your kids.  And do you live here.  Was his house and location the best anywhere.  the guest house is awesome.  I heard Michael Jackson stayed there once.
