In which we honor more notable photographers...

Back in his first incarnation, the M.A.L.ady made a point of not only putting up a site attacking Marc Adamus, but also secondary sites attacking those he/she/it deemed friends or supporters of Adamus. (Although I was chagrined to note that there never was a "Tarzan Wilcox Lies" site.) So, it shouldn't be too surprising that "M.A.L.ady 2.0" is up to his/her/its old tricks again, this time concentrating his/her/its insane rants in a one-size-fits-all site attacking "Loser Photographers." While I won't stoop to recognize the psychotic clown by giving a link to the site, I will say that the ravings there are even more lunatic than ever, including the utterly bizarre notion that anyone who photographs a scene from the same location as a previous photographer is a "thief" guilty of "copyright violation" (it would be, uh, interesting to see the M.A.L.ady try to get that interpretation past a judge), and has even gone so far as to mount a campaign to get one such photographer fired from his job as an airline pilot for taking photos from the same locations as other photographers...including Marc Adamus himself! Personally, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at the airline when they received the letter demanding they fire one of their pilots for taking landscape photographs on his days off, but I digress...

In any event, one of the nice things about the M.A.L.ady deciding to launch another one of his/her/its scattershot attacks is that it gives me a chance to add new names to the "M.A.L.L. Honor Roll" of photographers whose work is better than that of the M.A.L.ady. Accordingly, there is now a "baker's dozen" of new photographers added to the list. Check out some of their links and be prepared to be amazed at some utterly stunning imagery. And, when you contrast it with the continued total absence of even a single photo ever posted by the M.A.L.ady, you have to ask yourself, "just who is the 'loser photographer' here, anyway?"

P.S.: Maybe the M.A.L.ady wanted to forestall posts such as these, because, in his/her/its later rants, you find they didn't name their "loser photographers" at all, simply putting up "candid" shots of ridiculous-enough-looking photographers (seen from behind or far enough away to be unidentifiable, presumably in order to avoid those pesky libel suits) and asserting, without any evidence whatsoever, that they were pro-Adamus "thugs and morons." Curious how you can conclude that about a person just because you deem them to be unattractive, M.A.L.ady. (By the way, why don't you show us your portrait, so we can decide whether you're worthy of being made fun of, too?) But there's one thing that's probably a safe bet...that each and every one of the "funny-looking" photographers can take better pictures than the M.A.L.ady as well.
