Hate Mail...

Is every bit as important as "love" mail. YET somehow it's way crazier and sometimes much cooler to read and think about. I received this letter via email yesterday, while I may disagree with some of his observations and the use of certain "buzz words" in his own reality he is indeed correct. So after a few reads I must plead GUILTY AS CHARGED (except for his photoshop observations for I don't use it to create the photos) = ).

"Dear Mr. Collin J. Rae "Photographer",
What you do is abhor able. I recently stumbled across your page
while studying some photographer looking for someone for a shoot,
Thanks, I found who I was looking for, but seeing your work is
what pointed me in the correct direction. I looked for the most
polar opposite of what you do. Your concept lacks the demeanor of
a real artist and is yet that of an amateur porn maker in his
prepubescence. I know I know, as an artist you are thinking
"Where does this guy get off saying my art is not art," but here's
the spiff, I am an artist too, a true artist. And when looking
through the eye of a true artist at your shit, it's almost
blinding. You should perhaps crack down on your photoshopping
skills, and maybe revise the angle of your "perversion" as a
whole. I of course could not shed light on this for you, as an
artist your desire must be to grow, and no one could help with as
far skewed as you have become. Just quit. thanks.

-A real artist." (Matt East)
