I'd like to make friends with you, but some girl has been going around telling other photogs that they should stand down when when you and a few other photogs here show up. I guess me and a few other photogs were under the impression that you claimed so, or has been bestowed such a title as "god of portraiture". As such, it was implied to we're not worthy to be in your presence.
I don't know, but recently I've been finding out from my friends around that she has been actively trying to get people to hate me by telling them half truths. Some how or another my friends found out the whole truth, and now they're now instead pitying her for what she became, and that's how they started telling me the different lies she was spreading.
I really don't know what pleasure she gets by telling half truths just to get people on her side. *shrug* yeah though, the last paragraph should be considered a personal affair..
Anyway you've been announced and bestowed the title of "god of portraiture" already, there are quite a few photographers out there who'd like to learn from you, me included.

hope you won't be so humble, do step out and show everyone your power.
For me, I love to learn from others, honestly. That's really how I've managed to improve my totally cr@p to one of a more reasonable standard. I do always want to learn from people better than me.
Cheers.. LOL I need to go sleep... zzzz
good night..
