I have met and photographed Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. I worked for Hillary Clinton on her visit here after Katrina. I worked for Mitt Romney's campaign in a few cities. I worked for the Republican Party 2 years in a row for the Leadership Conference. I have photographed, in concert, The Rolling Stone, RUSH, Pearl Jam, Robert Plant, Rod Stewart, Megadeath, Melissa Etheridge, Hall & Oats, The B-52's, Smashmouth, Dr. John, Kenny Logins, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, The Beach Boys and so many others I can't even count. I have photographed so many celebrities I can't count. I have binders full of 8 X 10 photos of these people, many of them with me as well.
There's really no need for me to go on since you obviously have no idea of what your talking about. It's just fun to point out what an ass you really are. Originally Posted by pornodave69

You are a very sad man Dave, when all that you have after 30yrs with the lens is the ability to brag about sneaking photos of concerts and past presidents etc. Just so happens a good family friend of mine is a white house press photographer R Pratt and funny thing, he has never heard of you. My lifetime friend E Miller in LA says he never heard of you either, and seeing as he is about the most famous photographer for glamour that counts you out of at least two professional fields. For a 3rd and just for shits and giggles I asked my long time friend C Lee in NYC Pro fashion and as I thought, never heard of you. I also checked with the PPA and nope, not recognized as a commercial professional there either. There is a huge difference between getting a few folks to pay you money to click click, and actually being a commercial professional photographer. You have just shown everyone here exactly what I was saying, you are just another ego driven guy with a camera. Hell I took a photo with Bogie at the wax museum are you impressed? BTW bragging about knowing what the manual buttons on a digital camera do really shows your despair in maintaining your bs status here as a professional photographer, my 15yr old nephew mastered his dads Canon 5d Mark 3 in a week. The problem with living a lie is that sooner or later you wont be able to bullshit someone who knows more than you.
