“I’ve traveled across North Africa and the Middle East by bicycle and can attest to the fact that what he says is bang on.”
And you probably think you know much about the cultures you biked through. The truth is, you actually know very little about such cultures just through the act of biking through them.
” If you, JanePete, have never done so, then your criticism is ill informed.”
I certainly have, but nobody has to to understand the common sense in what I said.
“Furthermore, your attitude itself is arrogant no matter how banal your taste is in photographs.”
No, as I told someone else, you simply can’t handle reasonable and logical criticism. Perhaos you feel going along with the apparent consensus is more important than freedom of expression.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
