After long and careful consideration I came to the conclusion, that there is no guy in the middle.

Do you not know who Peter Lik is? or are you just that much of an *sshole?

Peter Lik seems to be an Australian photographer. So? I don't see the point of this thread either.

He's an Australian what? Photographer? and you don't see how that could relate to this forum??    

I didn't know citizenship had anything to do with photography, and not only that even if it did Peter Lik is now an American photographer who specializes in American Landscape who is arguably one of the best color landscape photographers alive.

I saw some of his work in Vegas the last time I was there for a conference, and it's quite nice. But I'm still not sure what the point of the original post was. No context or back-story was given on the photo, it wasn't even initially clear which person we should be guessing the identity of. Was the point that we should know what Peter Lik looks like? Are you the other fellow in the photograph? If so, may be stating as much and mentioning the circumstances of the encounter/photo would have made it a little more interesting.

I assumed everybody on a landscape photography forum would have known him right away. I hold him in very high esteem and he is definitely a major motivation behind most of my landscape photography. I assumed it would be like posting a picture of your self with President Obama in a political discussion forum.

You're right.  That's very strange.  They're usually very good at removing threads like this.  Which is good because this place would be over run but this kind of photography related stuff if they didn't.

You did hit the report button, right?

Richard, you know what they say you're doing when you AssUMe...

A well-known name, but not a well-known face in all circles.

HAHA! Without a doubt! One of the first lessons I learned in the Marine Corps! Hopefully somebody was motivated by the picture because it motivates me a lot!

Peter Lik is one of the best color landscape photographers in the world. He grew up in Melbourne Australia but currently lives in Las Vegas where his corporation is. He has 3 galleries in Vegas, 1 in San Diego, NYC, Miami, Aspen Colorado, and Hawaii.... He is the only photographer to be awarded a "Master Photography" award in both America and Australia. I highly recommend checking out his gallery! Looking at his images online do NOT give them justice!

Personally I couldn't give a flying f**k who Peter Lik is . Just because you have your head up his it doesn't mean that everyone else has. What was the point of asking in the first place?

Are you sure that you are a retired sniper?

What does that have to do with this thread? haha! Can we get a moderator around here and delete this comment? I can't believe this comment has lasted this long. HAHAHAHA!

You know you're getting in a pissing contest over a picture right? Did your mom not give you enough attention growing up? Do you need a hug?

To answer the question, I am very confident I am a retired Marine Corps Scout/Sniper...
