Not being mean Excellent but it seems you are trying to bully Tarantula into making a mistake on these forums and try to make him look bad. I think you should keep the argument between yourselves to the PM system and stop trying to wind him up on the open forum... it seems you are searching his posts hunting to cause some trouble.

[DarrenToogood]

and trouble you and him should have.

You are as bad as him Josh, infact your illegal.

[JamesRouale]

More like quick-witted.

He's a wild one this guy, don't let him near Darren, he might trash his room.

He's a wild one this guy, don't let him near Darren, he might trash his room.

I'm confused?
I don't get it?

[JamesRouale]

Brought it upon yourself Darren:

You're the same as you were back then.

Trantula it was good of you to apologise and shed some light on this argument, however I would say when posting something 'official' like this make sure you structure it properly using paragraphs etc. I personally found the first post quite difficult to read.

Darren stop being so arragont you make yourself seem like a prat. 'At your level' is so patronising, anyway it seems like you are a beginner at photography. Everyone takes photographs and it seems one day you said I'm professional now and made a site about it.

Let's all be peaceful now, shall we?
You've apologised, you've both got your business ahead of you,
Excellent got a temp ban :/ , I have a mug of PG Tips.

As Kathreya of BB would say: Happy Happy Thread!

The event that I lost, I have now got back. Both me and PWP will be covering the event.

You make it sound like I am in the wrong. You have also lost the steam show position.

I did indeed email IOW, to see if they would like to look into using my services, which they have done. They liked the one image I showed them, and have requested more to compare with the quality PWP is offering. The higher quality images will get the position. This seems fair, and I was just supplying IOW.co.uk with another option to explore.

I have nothing to be jealous of. If anything I am angry, because of your way about doing things and trying to get my custom.

This bit always makes me laugh. If you are starting out, do not go for the big shows and the big clients to start with. At your level, you should be building up a portfolio of images, not working on behalf of people.

Competition is a free world indeed, however websites like IOW.co.uk had clearly not seen a better service offered, and it is their right to have that better service also offered to them. I did indeed get annoyed when you tried to steal my Steam Show client, because I started off offering the better service, however they also accepted you, a mistake on behalf of the steam show. I informed them of the quality, and they seemed to take it the wrong way - I believe this is because John also dropped them an email.

I have been speaking to my clients, and they have informed me that you will not be allowed to cover events that I am already official photographer for - this includes, but is not limited to my client, IOWCC.

I have noticed some lies within your advertisements on websites, such as IOW.co.uk. Stating you have been 'official photographers' for big events, such as Goodwood FoS, Skandia Cowes Week and London Motorshow, when infact you just attend these events like any other member of the public - not covering the event.

I think you are aiming too high to start with, trying to 'overtake' BWI. You have said and boasted a many of times how 'PWP is doing better than BWI already' - this is not the case. I do have a lot of competition on a day to day basis, and infact when I was official photographer for a client, there was a photographer there also shooting the same things - I was not worried as he had not stolen my client, made false rumours about me and nor was he trying to appeal to the same market as I am.



You are not competition to me - your images are no way near the quality of mine, and the service you provide is not that of a professional one. If anything you are an annoying bug, following me. My overall advice is to stop trying to cover events - it does not work when you are starting out. Come back in around a years time, when you have mastered your current camera, upgraded your kit and have quality images to show - then you can start asking to cover events. You do seem to forget that I am a year ahead of you in the development of my photography, and this summer is my 'event startup' time, and you have come along and tried to push that aside.

I have a number of phone calls to make in the morning regarding status of events for BWI/PWP, and I will be able to confirm exactly what the status is of PWP at the events I am officially covering.

Some may see it as immature to email websites such as IOW.co.uk, however I am sure some people will see it as providing an alternative, higher quality service - I have a right to offer a better service to anyone, the same as a better photographer than me could offer his services. This time next year, when you are trying to cover events to build up experience, I will have recurring clients, therefore next year will be slightly different, in terms of you would be the photographer who is there for experience - I would be the photographer there for them.

Do you want to blow your trumpet a bit more?

Ahh, I see the sun... Look where it's coming from... thats weird ±_±

Darren, I am sure your photographs used to be just as "bad" as Tarantulas, and knowing you, you probably tried to start a business like that too, so put the gun away.
