Do you ever post anything which isnt an advert for your photographs or your love of HS2?

Why is it any of your business?

because all he does is open new threads linking to his latest photo job and disappear into the ether. Why he feels the need to open a new thread each time rather than just update his last one is lost on me as well!

This is a forum for discussing the railway, just posting saying "look at my photos so I can get paid" isnt really a discussion is it!

I think the pictures I've seen are very good. Many of them appear to have been taken from quite interesting and unique perspectives. Anyone with a camera can take a picture, but only a small number of people actually take decent ones like these.
If you don't like it, that's not a problem, I don't think anyone's saying you have to. I certainly don't have a problem with them being posted here. Does he get paid for every time someone clicks on a picture ? I'm not sure how that works.

Im always quite envious of the guy that he can spend his life photographing railways all over the world!
Its amazing how he finds different views of things youve never noticed before (such as station detailing).

Still doesn't make it any of your business really. It's his way of wanting to do it, just let him do it that way then!

It doesn't matter who's business it is or isnt. 455driver is entitled to post his opinion just as much as Snapper is entitled to create a new thread.

Oh no! not more snaps taken on station platforms of nothing remotely interesting.:sad:

Conversely I prefer this kind of photography - for me there aren't enough photos of everyday railway infrastructure, scenes and operations in this country; whereas there are thousands of boring locos and steam engines ;)

I like these pictures and look at them whenever I'm in the mood to but I agree that they don't deserve a new thread each time, just one thread that gets updated is more than enough.

Thank you Lewis, the cheque is in the post! ;)

If you don't like it just don't click on the thread! Some of us like seeing the ordinary! The railways are diverse enough for us all to indulge our preferences!

You do have to wonder why something I've been doing for donkey's years (that the sites Mods have never even mentioned as a problem) becomes an 'issue' with just one or two people all of a sudden..
