Mr. Tatro,
I can’t believe I had to wake up to this on a Friday morning.
I cannot believe, that YOU out of all people on NT would be jealous of Sean's new splash page. I would normally let this sort of thing slide, but not this time.
If you had ANY idea of what Sean has gone through to get to this point, you would shit your diaper.
I decided against writing you an email, since the words you wrote defacing my business partner and good friend Sean, as well as myself, were on Newstoday.
To clear up any speculation regarding the photography on Sean’s splash page, Getti and I work as a unit most of the time. He sometimes assists my shoots, and I sometimes assist his shoots. We composite close to 70% of our shots, some being completely shot in studio on green-screen, and environment photography pulled from our database of skies, buildings, parking lots, concrete, etc., which has been collected and shot over the past 4 years. Some shots are built with my sky, my smoke, Sean’s night backdrop, and then Sean’s subject. In essence, we share our photos in production and post-production.
Belittling our process down to a few basic filters, and then insulting Sean by the jewelry he chooses to wear is laughable.
Calling Sean a “fake” is also unacceptable. I have known Sean for 5 years, and not once has he disappointed me, not been there for me, or ripped off other people’s work as his own. He continues to surprise me day in and day out, with his ever-expanding skill set in the areas of art direction, photography, flash development, and design.
Sean has never ridden on anybody’s coat tails. He initiates and collaborates on a variety of projects with Greg, myself, and various agencies around Toronto, and the world.
The point, which angers me the most, is you accusing Sean of using my portfolio as his own, in his negotiations to work with Indusblu. Sean has his own body of work, which you will see, along with the general public, when his site launches. Sean collaborated with Matt Rix on the coding aspects of his new site, and splash page, to get certain elements to work correctly - letting Sean work on the art direction and photography aspects of his work. Don’t get me wrong either; Sean hand coded many aspects of his new site and splash page. He can currently code circles around me, as I have been focusing my efforts on other endeavors.
Evan, you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. You need to keep your mouth shut, and my name out of your dirty mouth. You have made a very serious mistake that will not go unnoticed in the future. I have had enough of your negative bullshit.
The point of this post is not for an apology, or to stir up shit. It is simply to make you think before you post, especially when you are referring to me or Sean in a negative context.

let the slagging commence!

Nice!
But, what is that poor baby wearing?

But he isn't a gangster derek. And until he stops trying to convince people here that he is, we will continue to find him amusing.

Hey Paul,
What I find funny here, is the fact that you, along with others in this thread keep referring to Sean as a “gangster” or a “gangsta”. This label that have applied to him does not amuse me at all. Giving Sean a label has no other reason, other than to insult him.
Why would you go out of your way to do this? The only explanation is jealousy.
- ********0
my name is not Paul.

That's a really nice effect on the site. Pretty cool.
Didn't Getti once say he was going to flash in the can packing heat? Maybe that's where the label came from?
- mg330
derek,
Uh, you'd have to be blind to not know how many times Getti has been here frontin' and talking trash to personify and glamorize gangs, gangstas, gunplay, violence, teh hood, etc.
To act like a rapscallion is not the best way to earn a good reputation.

(Jan 20 06, 06:34)I think the boy is a tool derek, not exactly the same as being jealous of him. And posting on newstoday is hardly going out of my way.
He want's to take videos of himself waving guns about, then I will call him what he is. A
cock that thinks he's a gangster.

Janne, I wasn’t talking to you. You didn’t even take the time to read my post. I have nothing to say to you...

(Jan 20 06, 06:34)derek man, it's cool you're sticking up for your mate - that makes you alright in my book - your mate though clearly deserves all the ribbing he gets on here with his chat - I honestly believed he was joking it's so fucking daft, I mean come on!
jealousy? hilarity is more accurate...

Respect
ReputationTwo things that are earned, and only earned.
Getti would have done so if long ago he would have bothered trying. If he can do good work, great photography, art direction, code, etc. than bravo for him, seriously. That's what all this stuff we learn and attempt to do is about! :)
But earning respect and reputation isn't about posturing. So let's hope that Getti's new site is impressive and the work speaks for itself, and he speaks less about his typical mumbo-jumbo.

even if his work was genius he usually acts like such a jackass it wouldn't matter
