You are questioning my ethics, my professionalism, and yet you are not even putting your name to your posts! How dare you. My ethics and my professionalism require absolutely no defending so I am not even going to respond to that.

As I said earlier, there are over 90 (yes NINETY) different climbers in the book. I am happy to have managed to photograph so many different climbers whist also trying to cover so many different areas whilst trying to produce good photography at each area. By FAR the easy option would have been to work with only one, two or even just a handful of climbers. It would have also been FAR easier not to try to cover so many areas. You obviously have no idea what has gone into producing this book. You obviously have no idea what has been left out or the decision process behind it. I do not work for you so please don’t try to tell me what my “job” is. If you don’t want to buy the book then of course no one is forcing you to. Who knows, maybe someone who appreciates the book for what it is will give it to you for Christmas!

Incidentally Rock Weasel, I’m actually quite open to constructive criticism (rare that it actually is) however I do feel your posts are a deliberate and completely unjustified attack on my work so if you wish to post to this thread again then please put your real name to your posts.
