Thanks Mike! It was "cool" (especially for the hand that held my window open!) outside our small plane--- minus 60 (temp plus wind chill) to be exact.

Cool shot, Eleanor!

Sorry, couldn't resist... but I've invested enough time in big snow country...

Mike.

Oh black on black love that.
Would love to see a bit more separation between the tires and the background/bottom.

But wow overall.

Hi Frank,

I totally agree with you about the tyres.
I passed on my concerns to the Art Director, but at the end of the day its up to him to decide.

Awesome image. At first glance I thought it was a new lexus or infiniti!

Indeed! Awesome images! Awesomely destructive for the environment.

I can't believe that you guys have so little concern for the environment. Well, perhaps I can believe it. You have to earn a living, just as a tobacco executive has to earn a living. Your business is helping to sell a product.

I just wish you could earn a living promoting green and low-carbon products.

Go peddle your bad attitude someplace else. Your ignorance is obvious and beyond discusson.

I now realise why I have a certain antagonism towards MFDB users. Such systems are used mainly to promote obsolete technologies that are harmful to the environment, and ourselves.

We over-eat, partly because MFDB photographers produce seductive images of succulent dishes that are no good for us; that are tasty but harmful to our health; that look ravishing but lack basic nutritional ingredients necessary for complete health.

MFDB users work mainly for the advertising industry which promotes consumption without regard to the real needs of the consumer and without regard to the environment.

When I look through the images presented in this thread, I see the promotion of blatant consumerism. I see desirable chics with a nice color balance, but a general lack of intellectual integrety in the motives and narrative.

I'm telling it as I see it. Sorry for any offense.

Your incapacity to describe and explain the obvious is pathetic. I'm always willing to explain something to anyone whom I think is just plain ignorant, and I expect they would do the same for me.

I think I'm picking up a whiff of a format battle again. Do you find 35mm format shots less offensive? We may be on to something.

I love seeing the variety of shots in this thread, and would love to see more.

Wow. A new low.

Ray, this winter, try foregoing heat, if you feel so strongly about this. Or never fly anywhere again. Or just ride you bicycle instead of your car. You are clearly as guilty as the rest of us in trashing the planet.

I favor anything that can be done to lessen the impact we all have on the environment, but blaming MF photography for the planet's environmental ills is bizarre.

So your remarks are tainted with prejudice? Ulterior motives instead of a crusade for the truth?

I don't get this attitude you are displaying. Totally uncalled for IMO.

I do, beleive me. My Chinese partner not only seems to like cold, but is very concerned about the pennies.

We're in a situation where we have to change our habits for the sake of the environment. We can't continue to be blatant consumers. We've got to cut waste and live more efficiently. When I see advertisements for gas-guzzling high performance cars, I get a feeling that something's wrong.

klane · « **Reply #1334 on:** August 07, 2008, 02:30:44 pm »

Ray, I agree about the environment, but guess what? Everyone else here does to! The fact that we all need to change our habits and lessen energy consumption is rather common knowledge now. I live a medium sized city in the midwest that is dominated by large polluting pick up trucks, however just down the street there is a guy that runs most of his energy needs off solar and wind power.

My point is people are waking up to these factors and making a change, not everyone....but most of us. So get off of your soap box and stop acting like captain planet.

(note: captain planet was kid's cartoon in the earlier 90's about saving the environment)

I would if I thought we had the time. I'm reminded of David Suzuki's analogy of the frog in warm water that's slowly heated. The frog's response to the rising temperature is slower than the rise in temperature.

By the time the temperature is too hot, the frog's in delay mode and doesn't feel it.

When it eventually feels it, it's too late to escape. It's fried.

Amen. Absolutely true. No one's arguing with you. But blaming rampant consumerism and other issues on MFDB shooters - that's just silly.

By the way, lecturing others on their environmental responsibilities implies that somehow you are fighting the good fight and others aren't, or that you are being responsible and others aren't. That's pretty condescending, I think. You reall don't know anything about anyone else on this forum, and how they live their lives, or how they deal with this issue. You're aren't the only one who worries about these issues, or even the first to worry about them.
