I understand and I’m sorry. I didn’t at the time think anyone said anything negative about the post but reading back it seems a few gave opinions.. I was focused on the photography/lighting being very high quality and to be honest I was excited to see it.

When someone is asking me about an authors authenticity, I take that pretty seriously and due to my background that includes more technical aspects.. comparing past things etc.. your post was badass dude and I remember the first thing I said was “she’s legit”.. then when I opened it I was floored and just wanted to ensure I was not giving incorrect information.

I know you and know what you do, so to me of course you’re legit.. but I’d i didn’t take a moment to compare or run a search then I’m not doing my job.. I’m sorry I lost sight of the human author behind the post and just was focused on the specifics of it.

The end result was the majority thought it was great, it was your work, and we wanted to vote it.

Yes the editing out (which again was completely understandable) was just odd timing and if it wouldn’t have been you then I would have bet it was abuse.. it’s just a text book technique we see used all the time.. again I apologize for forgetting the human author behind it.

You do lots here, I’m a fan.. and yes I hope you can move forward from this and the last thing I intended was to hurt you.
