this just makes me sad. the majority of tumblr’s “editors” behind the more popular photography tags such as landscape and portrait do a good job of posting great pictures…and then people like bryant eslava ruin it by promoting half of the stuff they post. every time I click on these tags, I see one of his photos. and since he’s an editor of both tags (and since I can’t imagine why anyone else would feature the majority of his photos), I can only assume he’s featuring himself.

bryant eslava, this is not a landscape. this is a shitty photo. seriously, what the hell. I’m really going to call you out here. there’s no meaning behind it, there are no racial/cultural/social conversations being created, there’s nothing to think about, it’s not even pleasant to look at, it’s just a really shitty photo. and the number of notes on it has practically doubled since I took the screenshot.

bryant eslava, you have made some nice images, I’m not going to lie. I’m not the biggest fan of your work, but I think plenty of your photos are pretty good. this, however, is not. stick to skinny hipster bitches. also, stop it with the intense saturation and high contrast. it doesn’t make your photos better.

so, really, what’s my beef with this kid, right? am I jealous of his tens of thousands of followers? no. am I jealous that he goes to new york fashion week and sits next to the olsen twins? definitely no. I have exactly two problems with the dude: he is using tumblr’s featured tags to HEAVILY promote his work even when it sucks (I wouldn’t give a shit if it was just one photo every once in a while), and he unfriended me on facebook. but we still have like ten mutual friends. that was really a dick move. just kidding, I don’t give a shit. but seriously, if he just stopped promoting his work so heavily through the landscape and portrait tags, I would take both of those tags much more seriously…erm…actually now that I think about it, it will take a lot of work for me to take the landscape tag seriously.

I’m pretty sure I’ll delete this in a few seconds/minutes but I just needed to get it off my chest.

EDIT: bryant emailed me to notify me that tumblr tag editors cannot feature their own posts. this is actually not entirely true; if someone they are following reblogs it, they can feature it. he hasn’t admitted that, but it’s very easy to do. and I assume that’s what is happening…if the tumblr staff and other editors are truly the only ones featuring his work, I think that’s an even worse situation. he asked me to remove this post, but I would rather not as I still think the majority of it holds true, and, as bryant should know, once you post something, you have to stand by it. and of course, it’s also been reblogged multiple times and deleting the source wouldn’t really change anything. sorry bryant!

lots of good points being made here
