Announcing...The M.A.L. Challenge

The clown(s) over at MarcAdamusLies display one common trait (well, aside from insanity and dishonesty): a contempt for everyone else's photographs. It goes without saying that they dismiss Adamus's own work -- including mocking early images that were selected for inclusion in magazines such as Outdoor Photographer as "bland" and "clichéd." But, if you have ever expressed support for Marc Adamus on a blog or website, you can probably count on a blog entry from the clown(s) about how terrible, amateurish, and downright embarrassing your own photographs are, and what a failure you are as a photographer (and productive human being).

There's one thing missing. You guessed it: photographs by the clown(s) themselves. Despite the criticism leveled at everyone else, the M.A.L.adies have not posted a single image to establish their credentials to judge anyone else's work.

Thus, the M.A.L. Challenge. I dare the clown(s) at M.A.L. to put their reputation where their mouth is, and show us images they (?) have taken, so we can see how their work compares with that of Adamus and the "thugs and morons" they attack on a daily basis. And, considering how the M.A.L.adies specifically go after Adamus and the others for supposedly over-processing their photos, I'd be especially interested to see how little processing is used in the M.A.L.adies' own images.

Failure to meet this challenge only proves the M.A.L.adies are gutless wonders, cowards with no right to comment on anyone else's work, and a disgrace to the world of photography.

I'm waiting.
