Ok, he has gazelles and giraffes... but no pictures of battered pickup trucks with scruffy looking men carrying AK47s fighting over the ruins of what is left... which is generally how these places end up

Been thinking about these images for a while... they're *nice* I think.

*nice* as in interesting or quirky. not nice as in particularly talented or amazing. which is a shame as they seem to have won lots of awards... ffs.

ps - photoshop skills ≠ photo skills

pps I hate these shots with the animals - the shots themselves are fine....

I am trying to figure out what kind of weed he was smoking when he conjured up those pictures in his mind, it must be one hell of a coktail

Theres no effort in them, all he did was insert some animals. The ruins, if they were his creation, deserve credit but they could just be real life.

the ruins are responsible for a lot of credit unfortunately

Downright jealousy .... you can smell it

Really? I'd say you're being over-generous. There's almost no "bite" in any of them. Insipid is the word I'd use. And as for the animal shots: I had to search most times to actually see the animals, which surely wasn't (or shouldn't have been) the intention. Almost every photo on your Daily Photo Blog is miles better.

Indeed, Dubai is finished! I gave my prophecy back in 2003 when 'Freehold' meant '****-All!'

Give it a few years and the Tumbleweed will be rolling down Sheik Zayed Road!

Sorry I meant to add, that we all have a good 'Fire' to look forward to soon!

jealous of who or what exactly ?

desert_dwellers

What I understood from your post is that some people got all excited about those pictures because of the images of ruin and destruction. If that is the case do you have another explanation to this mentality?

Bahtatboy

Take a look and let us know what you think.

Sandboy

who on earth can get excited by images of ruin ? I said the ruins were responsible for a lot of credit... I meant an awful lot of poor bastards took out a lot of credit and if they're lucky they have ruins, a lot have nothing and no system in place to deal with it. A lot of businesses suffered too, including mine, we are still owed millions and have zero recourse, the only jealousy I have is for those who got paid
