Like a lot of people on Flickr I made Dave Gorman a contact when I spotted him on there. I liked his pictures and I liked his stuff on the telly, so why not?
Then a few weeks ago a friend posted a comment on one Dave’s pictures. The gist was that the picture was okay but he didn’t think it would have garnered such a large number of favourable comments if Dave wasn’t famous.
Dave Gorman removed the comment, but wrote a polite note explaining why he’d removed it.
Last week I spotted this Dave Gorman photo on a Flickr group for objects that look like faces. It looked remarkably similar to this one I took – and posted to the same group – a few weeks before:
Now I know that my photo is technically inferior – a bit blurred and taken with a cheap compact camera. But I think it’s a better photo because of the group thing. I think it’s funnier. But of course Dave has many more positive comments and favourites than me – only to be expected as he has so many contacts.
I posted a link to my photo on his with the simple message ‘snap!’. There, that’ll show ‘em I thought. But since then FOUR more people have commented on how great Dave’s picture is…
Who is he? I’ve never heard of him.
