@Johan,
I decided to stay silent on this subject but I decided not to.
It's true that Snook has a very bad streak or humor as he calls it, something that is the opposite of how I work and think.
I've been sitting behind my screen with question marks often when I read his responses here or on other fora.
This serie puzzles me, he claims on several fora that the DH look is passe and that everyone doing it should do something unique, but here I see A LOT of DH influences in the post processing.
And I see a lot of other influences.
HOWEVER I find that every photographer is free to be inspired and use what ever they want to create art.
Somehow however I think that Snook is looking at the world with very big Snook glasses.
My coorperations with Leaf and Elinchrom will not be in danger by what Snook posts, they are based on mutual respect and simply on performance from my side.
And to be honest although I really hate it when I'm getting flamed again and again however I know that what I do is successful, the workshops are taught worldwide and we have students coming in from all over, the DVDs sell very well so I can only conclude one thing, somehow I'm not a good friend of Snook and to be honest I tried a lot of times to try to overcome this by giving responses to his questions in a normal matter, but over time I'm more and more just ignoring him, and I think a lot of people will do that.
A student in LA once told me he knew he great photographer but he didn't have any work because he was an ass, he also knew someone who was shooting all the stars but did mediocre work but was a blast to work with and a real people person.
Maybe he should think about that........
People love people that are open and nice, people hate people that are not.
And if you want to get work it's better to just play nice or really be nice
