Rollerbladers that steal other rollerblader's photos.

What's with that? Ever see that happen often?

This dude Allas has a blog he writes for one and looks down on everyone in Seattle because of it. The very last photo was taken by my brother yet he uploaded it with his name.

I uploaded that photo directly from my brother's card a night after the Barn Burner. I haz the time stamp (as well as the RAW file) to prove it.


To just put more fuel to the fire. I don't pride myself on photography as much as I do with filming, but I still know the basics enough to tell when something shouldn't be so over processed.



Skin shouldn't be red. It's just tacky.



I personally do not like the composition, but the coloring is too much here. Tacky shouldn't be a style to shoot for in photography if i'm not mistaken.

Intuition has used many of my photos and put their logos on it. I do not care to be honest (matt mickey is an awesome dude). However if it was print, I would like to get photo credit for it.
If one of my photos get stolen/ used for anything else besides rollerblading, then I would make a deal about it and want compensation. However, I don't shoot much anymore and my photos aint that great.
That's the way I see it anyways.

Maybe, just maybe, it was assumed that he took the photo or it wasn't properly labeled? Gotta consider it from all sides. If not, well...

When I was chasing down leads on photos for Louie Zamora's interview, I was referred to Erik Allas as the last known person to take photos of Louie that might be usable.

I talked to him on the phone, and although he was pleasant enough to send me 10 photos of Louie, he still came off like he had a false sense of self importance.

I had to toss 9 of them due to really poor lighting, grain and motion blur, then completely re-work the last one, a back royale shot, to make it usable. I think I spent an hour on it first in Lightroom then 2 more hours in Photoshop so I had more control.

His photos in general leave a lot to be desired, I'm really surprised he makes money with a camera.

Why don't you mail him that he is a huge faggot?

I did. that photo was first released on the Seattle Skaters blog by Andy's permission. It was then released for an official be-mag coverage posted by Monday with about 100+ awesome photos by Andy.

Here's the thing that gets me... that photo could only have been pulled by those two sources. By someone. either source CLEARLY stated who took the photo. Both be-mag and Seattle skaters prides themselves on their photographers and videographers enough to ALWAY give proper credit.

With that said, did you notice that the ONE's "coverage" only had one usable (really dark photo) by Erik? He was at a comp with some of the worlds best skaters taking photos for 4+ hours and only came up with 1 usable photo that any other photographer would have scrapped.... I'm going to take a guess and say that he needed more than 1 photo to upload to make himself look better, and what better way to do that is to steal a photo from someone he always condenses.

Shit is weak. I just wanted you guys to know this shit. Andy is a awesome photographer.

I don't see how it could be anything other than deliberate. He wrote the article meaning he chose and placed the pictures. The only way he could have gotten Andy's photo was from linking to an article with Andy's name all over it, or having downloaded it from an article with Andy's name on it.

I understand why he might have thought it didn't matter (if he wasn't a narcissistic asshole) it was in a crowd who would remember where he was standing or if he took a picture.
...Except for the fact that he obviously doesn't know how to use a flash and the photo wasn't over edited. So it couldn't be his picture at all. It looks too good.

One more thing about this person. He had my friend film his wedding, he was paying the photographer 500 for it, and he promised gavin 500 to film it. It took gavin a month to give him the footage from teh wedding. So Erik said "since you were late on giving me the footage, I'm going to be late on giving you your money". It's been almost a full year now and gavin still hasn't been paid.

nice

ONE is a huge chest anyways, those photo posts usually suck, this is no different.

[thrueyesofruby]

that's pretty funny

Mate.. he's a no name, running a blog; don't let it get to you haha. Just resign yourself to getting used to having shit stolen, even if ONE printed your shit in their magazine it's barely worth invoicing them for, I imagine they scrape by with each issue. That dude should be called out on teh internetz accordingly tho.
