Stefan Nielsen

Bio: he was born 1958 was has been a dedicated amateur photographer for the past 30 years. In summer 2005 he switched to digital and loves it (though he says he misses the old darkroom now and then). He tries to keep his phtography simple. His images lack hidden messages and complex interpretations - what you see is what you get. Some people might call his pictures "eyepleasers" - which he considers a compliment. He uses square formats and would likely use a Hasselblad if someone else could carry it around for him. Until he finds a volunteer, he plans to stick to his trustworthy Canon. He is Dane and lives in Lyngby, Denmark. More at: http://1x.com/member/3044/stefan-nielsen/

  2. By that I mean latching on to this or that latest, most innovative idea that some self styled money making guru has put out in the hope it’ll go viral and make them a lot of money off the backs of all the headless chickens who will follow them blindly down a blind alley. Its a shame but a truism nonetheless that people will follow where someone they see as an expert leads. Even if they lead them to certain disaster, which is what most of the gurus tend to do to their flocks.
