You guys are so clever and funny.

As far as keywording goes I feel obligated to think of 80 words (or whatever the limit is) to describe my images. Unfortunately, most of my images are very simple icons so maybe a picture speaks a thousand words but I can't seem to write all of them down.

But come on!!! - This is really out of hand!!!

I was searching two words together...kids horses. That's it. I am looking for some ideas for a session I have coming up. This is not what I was expecting:



Nor would anyone who was looking for images of kids and horses. Gimme a break.


Yep... It seems someone does not know meaning of some words in keywording... It is common due to that not all people are born in english speaking areas... I do not think this error is something what is done with bad ideas in mind of the contributor... But obviously, there should be some mechanism for doing some changes in keywording...

Is there 'Abstract' in keywords?

Maybe we should imagine that bridge?

Lol... Nice one for good laugh!

That with(out) Eiffel tower is even better!

That's pretty damn rude if you ask me.

Does she also offer fat women a run on her treadmill?

Funny how we feel it's ok to point out to skinny people that they should gain weight but it'd be terribly politically incorrect to do the same with overweight people wouldn't it?

The connection is that the golden Gate Bridge and Eiffel tower are just around the corner. Clearly a case of copping too tight.

I'm an intentionally skinny lady. I keep my weight very low. And I think it's fine if people want to cook for me and offer me food. What an endearing thing. I'm not insulted unless someone tells me I need to get help for my problem and gives me the business card of a therapist.

If you really honestly think that I'm talking about the starving masses in third world countries then...well...

I do a lot of fashion photography, or at least I used to. And you might be surprised the nasty comments people make to me and/or the models just because they happen to be thin. I was never into the "heroin chic" look and so the girls that used to get these comments were not thin to the point of being unhealthy, they just didn't stuff their gobs full of rubbish and sit on their asses all day long. Some of them were quite into sports, some were just naturally thin, some just took care of themselves. I think sometimes we forget that Australia and the U.S. are the most obese nations on earth and so the average body size you see walking down the street in these places is NOT a healthy weight - it's far and above more than humans are 'designed' to be.

That doesn't mean that when I get introduced to an overweight person I say to them "Gee mate, better lay off the Maccas" which is EXACTLY the same as someone saying to a thin person "Hey, you should go eat a sandwich". I think comments like that can come across quite rude and I know that some of those girls do get upset by hearing that shit so often.
