The ladies having fun. After hours and hours of preparations and shooting, we decided to end it with loads of laughter and craziness to relieve the stress. Thank you again ladies for the time and effort.
Now there has been a lot of comments about this shoot in here and here. Some were very positive but as usual there were those that who try to guise it as a sincere one when it’s an actual attack on specific models, not about the photography or editing. People who talked like they have tons of experience in modeling or run a modeling agency themselves. We know everyone has the right to their own opinions but saying things anonymously online is nothing that we see as constructive. We bet none would dare to show their face to us and say it directly.
What’s worst, these individual(s) stalked us through different forums that we are a member of and starts to lash out their comments there too simply because we moderate their comments due to its nasty nature! Desperate much? It just shows some people are so bent to do just about everything just to spread their words of hate. We won’t be surprised if they will set-up a hypercLicks haters blog too! Woohoo! Fans! NOT! All in all we find it really amusing that these people really make the effort and find time just to diss us and the models. I bet we’ll be hearing more from them after this but seriously, we don’t bloody care. As a friend said to us, “these sad people exist, so we just gotta simply ignore them”.
We think everyone should take note that we’re just starting out and the girls are not full-time models. We knew we’re gonna get a lot of heat but we decided to have a go at it anyway. We see it as a challenge and a learning process. And learned have we, especially from the positive feedbacks and tips by those professional photogs on the dos and don’ts when doing a group shoot like this. For that we thank those individuals.
And on a final note, we would like to show our support to these words by Senior Pablo, as posted on AnakBrunei’s blog.
Dear friends,
It has come to my attention that certain blogs have been target of hate comments and I feel the attacks on bloggers are on the increase. I can document them if you wish but I sense this sentiment is a growing concern amongst bloggers, including myself. I think it is time that we… bloggers put a stop or at least come out with our views on this type of Internet bullying or best educate them the best way to appreciate our blogs.. Most of the commenters are anonymous or come under guise names. It is not that we are afraid of bad comments or criticism. However, some commentors used the opportunity of being anonymous by doing personal attacks on the bloggers themselves.
I personally have no problem with readers exchanging views on certain issues and topics but personal attacks are not exactly the kind of material that we all are looking for. I mean bloggers have dedicate their time in sharing the posts/stories and photos. If readers are not happy with our blogs or the way we write.. that is fine but I see that most of us bloggers are responsible in what we write. My only concern is that some readers are using their anonymous status to ’stab in the dark’. This is non ethical to me.
So, with this button on your blog.. it signify that as bloggers, we do not tolerate such behaviour and hopefully educate readers that they are welcome to read and make comments. If there is any issue that they want to raise personally. ..it is better to meet in person rather than having a shot in the dark. If they do not favour such blogs.. there are other 250 blogs or millions globally for them to blog hop.
Cheers and God bless..
Pablo
