Every comment here is on point. Love the briese story. Airic is married and just had a kid...and he's acting like that? He's so gross. The SUPER douche wedding photographer. Jason is cool but he's acting like a O.C photographer. He needs to chill out and get a new wardrobe. The judges including Russell are probably beating their heads against the bar every night. None of those contestants understand the basic principle of photography. Photo-graphy (ie. light-writing). In other words pay attention to your subjects and LIGHT accordingly. Whew!

"and now, jane's addiction's Dave Navarro, here to talk to you guys about... uh... what it's like to be, uh, in front of the camera?" he really needs money, huh? that was way sad. although i did find it amusing that he was shilling lube. i love this show. it is some of the worst programming i have ever seen. jason's jacket tailoring is getting seriously wacky, also. the latest episode was priceless. i counted people saying “outside the box” ELEVEN times. jason needs to shut up.

I don't really like many/any reality shows. Ok, I watch Project Runway and Top Model (don't tell anyone). But this show is the first reality show where I liked NONE of the contestants. I mean, you're supposed to be able to root for someone! jeff Give me the micro… oh, they’re called macro?

It took me half the time to be reminded what experience gains a good photographer. I've never been involved in any shoot that was as big a cluster f#%k as any of the tasks shown. It looks chaotic. BTW - in the episode I watched, no one talked one on one with the client - is that continuing? I watched one episode.

I stop to watch the actual photo shoot itself, and then fast forward again to see the final results. The whole hour-long show takes 15 or 20 minutes, and usually leaves me wondering why I bothered.
