Marc Adamus and Commercial Fine Art: another hype and LIE filled site you should steer clear of.

Marc Adamus & Commercial Fine Art: just more LIES


Nothing but bullshit: Marc Adamus & Commercial Fine Art

Commercial Fine Art is the latest attempt by scam artist Marc Adamus to cement his dominance in the photography world. Like Lord Sauron in Lord of the Rings, Marc Adamus wills to dominate all photography. 

And he’s not satisifed with a comfortable career that helps him support a wife and kids. That was never Marc’s intention. Marc desperately desires to be famous and well-known. He’s wanted it for years. People who knew him in high school knows that he was always a fame-lusting shit. 

In many ways, Commercial Fine Art is a culmination of Marc’s efforts to dominate photography. It is a project designed to cast Marc Adamus in a respectable light. However, it fails in many ways:

1. It fails to inspire confidence in prospective clients
With the same “me-too” bullshit as so many other sites, the bogus “virtual galleries” that are instantly recognizable as the work of scam artists, and the trumpeting, egotistical delivery, it comes across as an entirely boastful, prideful, and deceitful website. To say nothing of the names that are featured on there.


2. The blog is an utter failure
The Commercial Fine Art blog is an utter failure. Random people will not be attracted to Marc Adamus’ pathetic rationizations for how Photoshop is part of today’s workflow, and no one will be impressed by the fact that the members are simply commenting on each other posts constantly. Blogs are supposed to feature quality material that is exciting to read, not a bunch of re-hashed, self-serving bullshit.

3. Too many members
Apart from the usual, hoary lies we’ve all heard before, like “some of the best photographers in the world”, and so forth, there are too many members on Commercial Fine Art. It’s impossible to keep the operation pointed in a single, focused direction when Marc and whoever else administers it picks up turkeys from all around the world. 

4. The proven Marc Adamus kiss of death
Marc Adamus is a proven killer for any website or blog. Period. Every site he has joined has eventually experienced losses in readership and a long-term trend toward failure. The inclusion of Marc Adamus indicates a preference for bullshit and lying over honesty and real material. Just ask Mountain Trail Photo. They actually ended up closing their blog down entirely after Marc’s egotistical, lie & bullshit filled post that attracted negative reactions from all over the Internet.


5. No actual functionality on the site.
In the end, Commercial Fine Art is no more than one more self-aggrandizing blog. There is no real functionality here. Want to actually buy a print? You’ll still have to go thru the old song & dance of contacting whichever scam artist you want to buy it from. Worse yet, Commercial Fine Art lied and said that they didn’t include any functionality because they “custom prepare” all orders. Yeah, right.


These are just a sample of the many problems with Commercial Fine Art. None should be a surprise. A LIE can only be so big and complicated before it starts to fall apart from its own weight. No amount of window dressing, fancy graphics, or bullshit will sustain lies and dubious statements forever. The public eventually sees right through it. Your best bet is to purchase fine art from a REAL photographer who can give you the service and selection you deserve, without the self-serving bullshit and distasteful, insulting LIES you’ll get from most of the Commercial Fine Art membership. Our verdict: this is a SCAM; pass on this.

Miles Morgan (shithead, thief, and parasite supreme) has ignored the Miles Morgan Ultimatum; the next steps.

The next steps for Miles Morgan.


As you all know, Miles Morgan is a thief, a copyright violator, and completely lacking in shame or critical self-evaluation. You can see more about that here. He has stolen the images of other photographers, meaning to emulate the composition and style of these photographers as closely as possible (a copyright violation and a violation of common courtesy). One of these photographers is Marc Adamus. Now, Marc Adamus is a coward who refuses to protect his copyright. Why? Marc sells a ton of bogus photo tours, which provide a great deal of his income. He’s afraid that if he enforces his copyright, sales of photo tours will dwindle. 

 Anyway, you probably know all that already. Which brings us to the Miles Morgan Ultimatum (available here). We gave Miles Morgan 10 days to remove stolen images from Getty microstock and stop selling prints on his website. Predictably, he ignored us. That’s not surprising. When push comes to shove, many of the scum we write about here quietly continue doing whatever they were doing that drew our attention, and hoping that we’ll just go away. 

But we promised pain & suffering for Miles Morgan, and we intend to deliver. The main driver behind Miles Morgan’ ability to steal other peoples’ work and throw it away for pennies is his well-paying job. Now, like most assholes, Miles Morgan has no problem drawing 6 figures from his line of work, while doing everything possible to undermine someone else’s line of work. Such is hypocrisy and lack of empathy. Go try telling Miles to start working for, say, $16,000 (about 10% of what he probably earns now) a year. He’ll look at you as if you’re crazy. But he’s got no problem stealing someone else’s images and throwing them away for 10% or less of what they originally cost. 

So Miles Morgan needs to lose his cushy job at United Airlines. That will deliver a solid lesson to this scum and piece of shit. It will teach him to respect other peoples’ jobs and careers. With that in mind, the next week will see new websites launched to deal with Miles Morgan and United Airlines. It’s time for the whole public to know about this imbecile.

The Miles Morgan Ultimatum: addressing the theft, copyright violations, and outright dishonesty/lack of shame of Captain/Mr. Miles Morgan

The Miles Morgan Ultimatum


As you all know, Miles Morgan is a thief, a copyright violator, and completely lacking in shame or critical self-evaluation. You can see more about that here. He has stolen the images of other photographers, meaning to emulate the composition and style of these photographers as closely as possible (a copyright violation and a violation of common courtesy). One of these photographers is Marc Adamus. Now, Marc Adamus is a coward who refuses to protect his copyright. Why? Marc sells a ton of bogus photo tours, which provide a great deal of his income. He’s afraid that if he enforces his copyright, sales of photo tours will dwindle. 

 We don’t know if Miles Morgan has taken a Marc Adamus photo tour. It’s quite likely that he has. We do know, by his own words, that he got started in this whole thing by taking a Photo Cascadia/NWphototours.com photo workshop. We’ve covered Kevin Mcneal and Adrian Klein time and time again. They are nothing but scam artists, gleefully selling bogus photo workshops to scum who want nothing more than a point & click process of copying real photographers and appropriating their vision. A workshop is a great way to learn the basics of being an immoral, shameless thief. 
 
 And Miles Morgan is a thief, period. He has stolen landscape compositions and thrown them on microstock sites for pennies. Not only does this steal away income from the rightful photographer, but it also devalues images that used to be worth thousands (theoretically) and completely destroys any possibility of future, legitimate licensing by the original photographer. Why pay someone $500 for an image license when Miles Morgan has an exact copy for $5? 
 Anyway, many would agree that the time has come to put a stop to Miles Morgan, and make an example of him, as well. Which brings us to the Miles Morgan Ultimatum.

Miles Morgan has 10 days to remove all images from all stock sites he has placed them on. It doesn’t matter whether he has, or hasn’t stolen some of the images in question. He has demonstrated that he can’t operate in an honest and ethical manner. He must never again place any images on stock sites or attempt to sell any images. He must cease offering prints of any sort on his website. 

Once these 10 days are over, a campaign will be started to have Miles Morgan fired from his position at United Airlines. If he’s so willing to commit theft and financial terrorism against other photographers, he doesn’t deserve to benefit from a six figure income that’s completely protected from the ravages of scum like himself. The campaign will target both him and United Airlines, using advertising, websites, blogs, and social media to spread the word. It will be clear that all blame for the boycott is squarely the fault of Miles Morgan, and the boycott will end once he is fired. Attention will be drawn to the fact that a senior pilot engages in unethical behavior and theft, as well as the possibility that he consumes illegal substances for recreation or performance reasons (he does know Ryan Dyar, after all; come on!). 


Miles Morgan will be publicly exposed for the lying, thieving psychopath he is, and United Airlines will bear the great embarrassment of employing this imbecile. We have every reason to believe that this approach will succeed in getting Miles Morgan fired. Miles Morgan can crawl back in the cave he came from and keep his job, or he can see how he manages to pay the bills by stealing other people’s images, and selling them for pennies on microstock sites. We want to emphasize that this is not a joke. Should Miles Morgan ignore us and hope that all this just goes away, there will be hell to pay. Marc Adamus LIES 2.0 and Loserphotographers.com awaits proof that Miles Morgan knows when he’s been caught, and is willing to back down and do the right thing.

Miles Morgan, scum, thief, imbecile, and cretin, has not responded to our charges; no surprise there!

No response from scumbag Miles Morgan.


 The SCUM Miles Morgan is a fraud and a thief who has stolen the images of other photographers and is throwing them away for pennies on microstock sites (see here for more on that). Is he ashamed? Apparently not! Is he aware that what he is doing is wrong? Yes! He has invented rationalizations that make him feel comfortable about it. All THUGS & MORONS do that. They spew their pathetic rationalizations/lies on this blog, saying that stealing isn’t stealing, black is white, and the sun sets in the east & rises in the west. But none of that changes anything. Stealing another photographer’s images is still theft and copyright violation. No number of Flickr frauds can change that. 

 It comes as no surprise that Miles Morgan has ignored our charges and continues to rush headfirst into the bold new world of fraud and theft. He’s the type of “person” who only does what is right when a gun is pointed at his head. Take away the cops, and Miles Morgan will steal, cheat, lie, murder, basically do anything he wants. We feel that this has gone on long enough. Our Miles Morgan Ultimatum is being prepared and will be released in several days. It’s time to put a stop to Miles Morgan, permanently. Stay tuned for more.

MARC MIT UNS: The NEW Marc Adamus (arguably the most talented photographer working today) Belt Buckle for the extremely passionate wannabe; channel the artistic power of The ONE!

The Marc Adamus belt Buckle!



Are you really, really passionate about landscape photography? Do you want to be remembered as a “dainty little painter” after you die? Do you get a hardon from being on Flickr Explorer? Then you need to channel the creative powers of the ONE, Marc Adamus, who, as we all know, is “arguably the most talented photographer working today”. Behold the new Marc Adamus Belt Buckle:

Marc Adamus Belt Buckle with "the tree god"  







 
 When MARC (arguably the most talented photographer working today) is “with you” (laughter), you can really be that dainty little painter you’ve always wanted to be. Clouds will almost blur themselves! The Dynamic Wilderness Landscape That Will Make Me Famous will reveal itself to you day after day! Big Bonus; the “Tree God” is engraved into the center of the buckle, allowing you to command clouds to “blur on demand” and in whatever direction you need them to blur. Who could ask for more?

The price? A highly reasonable $1195, which is, big coincidence, the exact cost of a MARC (arguably the most talented photographer working today) photo tour! Or you could just sign up for a MARC (arguably the most talented photographer working today) photo tour and get one free! Sign up at Marcadamus.com today! Don’t delay; photo tours sell out quickly, prints and images always available however!

Why THUGS & MORONS are so desperate to copy Marc Adamus images, among others.

Why copy Marc Adamus photos?



 We have asked ourselves this question, and we’re sure others have, too. Why are the THUGS and MORONS so desperate to copy Marc Adamus (and other notable photographers)? Why? Doesn’t a real artist create his own visions? 

 It turns out that these turds aren’t artists. Of course not. What they are is LOSERS who desperately desire to be famous. Fame requires talent (or a special sort of stupidity, but that’s not the fame they’re looking for). Since these bozos have no talents whatsoever, they feel that stealing someone else’s artwork and pretending it’s their own work is how they feel the fame will be had. Completely untrue, of course. The public looks at someone like Chris Moore MD or Miles Morgan and shake their heads in disgust. “Liar”. “Thief”. “Fraud”. “Pathetic imbecile”. These, and more, are the feelings the general public has for these disgusting LOSERS. And that’s as it should be. No one should celebrate a thief or a fraud. The idiots who comment on their bullshit on Flickr/photo.net/photosig are other idiots who don’t care that the image was stolen or lies were spewed about how the image was made. It’s, literally, a den of thieves.
 
 So it’s quite clear why THUGS/MORONS like “Captain” Miles Morgan or Chris Moore MD want to copy someone like Marc Adamus. In spite of his personality flaws, Marc Adamus is an artist (ignore gasps of horror from the THUGS & MORONS). Yes, he is. He might lie about his fame, bullshit about his “adventures”, and fail to protect his work from theft,  but he’s still an artist. Just not as good an artist as he thinks. Pretty good, but still. 

So anyway, THUGS & MORONS slobber over what they believe is Marc Adamus’ incredible fame. They “wants it” for themselves. Since they have no vision, no ability to create art of their own, they figure, “Oh, I’ll just buy a bunch of fancy gear, copy (steal) all those cool images I see online, and I’ll be famous too!”. We dare anyone to provide a valid rebuttal to this. The SCUM THUGS out there, the thieves and imbeciles like Miles Morgan and Chris Moore MD, know why they are stealing, and it’s for fame. 

 A real artist may copy some classic images to learn techniques, but his goal is to create his own vision. Not to replicate someone else’s vision. That is theft, and fraud. And ignore the bullshit, preposterous claims such as “you can’t copyright nature scenes”. No one has said you can. What is copyright-able, is the artist’s specific interpretation of a scene. The law clearly says this. Dozens of IP attorneys say this. We have linked to some of these pages. The THUGS & SCUM MORONS will not be convinced by this, however. They want to steal, and to hell with all the evidence that stealing is wrong. This is fame we’re talking about, damn it! Who cares if a professional photographer’s feathers are ruffled by the theft of his images, or if his family goes cold because he doesn’t make enough that month to pay the heating bill. The Fame of frauds like Miles Morgan or Chris Moore MD is simply more important.
