really?

Insta... what? You should post the pics here in this thread you want to be critiqued.
Has the ghost of JM jumped into you?

Take the time to look before being so critical.

This kid actually has some pretty stellar photos.

Excellent work George!

while I will agree the photos are somewhat interesting. Provocative photos fr0m a 12 year old on uer ehh I will pass, nothing against him

I'm not being critical Speed, but to critique them he should post them on this thread or at least link them one at a time.
However I'm wary of instagram and 12 yo shaman, lol

Better than most of my stuff! Keep it up kid .

Mama says Instagram is the devil

You've got some great shots. Where are you parents?

I agree dude, there is some really good shit here. I just hope you invest in a respirator. While most of the fibers and toxins we encounter are relatively harmless in small amounts, that shit is much worse to someone so young. Feels weird saying this considering I'm only a decade older than you. But I was exposing myself to this crap for a long time before I knew how bad it was.

Do you know who Jim Morrison is? Those are some big shoes to fill by taking his nickname

Yeah i go with my dad! Instagram isn't my favorite but its all i got so far.

George,

You have some really nice photos. I have to say I'm actually quite impressed at the quality, particularly because you're so young. How long have you been shooting for and what do you shoot with?

I made a lot of mistakes on the internet when I was younger, so I'd like to address a safety concern with you...


NEVER GIVE ANYONE MORE INFORMATION THAN THEY NEED ABOUT YOU.

I don't need to know that you're 12.

I don't need to know your real name.

I ESPECIALLY don't need to know your last initial.

I don't need to see pictures of you.


There's a lot of weirdos out there (and quite a few on here) so please be careful of what personal information you give people. Don't tell them more about yourself than you need to. You'd be surprised how easy it is to look someone up and harass them. Not saying anyone here would do that to someone like yourself who seems like a pretty cool dude, but stranger things have happened. You will get shit here because of your age (are you even old enough to register?). I do think you've presented yourself in a nice friendly manner though with some kick ass photos which have already given you more brownie points than most of the newbies here.

Also, you might want to consider uploading your photos to flickr. You get a free terabyte of space, can upload as large as you want, share easy, and don't have to crop everything square. If you're not fully happy with instagram, might be something worth looking into.

Happy exploring, bud! Stay safe, out there and on here!

hsha yeah thanks for your concern man! my brother got in trouble for stuff like that so i know not to give any really personal information! i shoot with a nikon d3300!

Speed is God!

rock on boy george

I'm torn between wanting to encourage you to keep it up, because there are some great photos in there, and not wanting to contributing to the delinquency of minor.

All joking aside keep up the great work, interesting to see the hobby being passed down to younger generations.

It's stuff like this that seriously makes me want to put down my camera...

Jealousy aside, these shots are straight winners. You can't argue with that.

great work!

When I saw this post I didn't think it legit. I looked up his pics, found a girl that was in the photos and contacted her. She vouched for him and said he's legit.
