Things got out of control and looks like the eject button was pressed leaving many people not thrilled with what happened. I'd be ticked off too... I'm purely speculating here. I didn't read all the post (just a few), and doubtful that I know all the facts... just putting my 2 cents in from a very high level.


Long before the issue of her ability to provide the service was in question... was her portfolio. Ill just provide some examples... pictures of her website, vs the actual website.

there are more... at least 8 photographers have claimed theft. but many have switched to flash websites and i either could not link to the images, or i could not find them on the new sites. Wasnt about to go through web archives/caches to prove this point.

anyways im not randomly calling names here... i believe there is more than adequate proof to substantiate my previous statements.


LOL... I have my hands full this weekend (getting married), and let me just say I looked at this from a very VERY high level view yesterday and cleared missed all of these details, which does change things.
