How to ruin your photography career!

September 30th, 2013
Been following this train wreck since last week. If you have your own photography business and would like to keep or get future clients, here is a look at what not to do!

Gasp! this seriously must be a joke...!
September 30th, 2013
A joke? Not a particularly good one either!

Not a joke... he is a photographer from Austin Tx, who decided to make this website to find the girl of his dreams! He has been on numerous talk/radio shows over the last week, only making his self look like a bigger idiot. Many racist comments and going so far as to say sleeping with a black person is bestiality because they look like "monkeys".... This guy makes me sick. He has basically insulted every type of person out there.. anyone that is over 130lbs are lazy insecure trashy people who do not respect themselves. if you have a tattoo you are white trash. he doesnt like people from dallas... the list goes on and on....Just google Romeo Rose...

One might ask, why bother to follow the situation?

What a CREEP! :(

I heard about this guy on the radio. I heard not only will he not date a black woman, he won't date a white woman who has slept with a black man.
I can't imagine why this hottie hasn't been snatched up by some high quality woman.
Ack!!!

Ugh, he lives way too close to me! He needs some insight therapy.

I'm sure his ex girlfriend is much better off now.

This is hilarious ! At least the lucky, under 130 pound, young lady can't say she was confused as to what he wanted.

Really hope he doesn't spawn ;0

Wow... I feel really sorry for this guy. He just doesn't get it on so many levels. I wonder what happened to him in his childhood.

@northy
Luckily for the world, he says "I do not ever want to have kids, so if a girl is wanting to have babies, I am not her man." Of course, given his evident lack of a clue in so many other areas, he might not know how to avoid that.

I honestly wonder if there's something "not quite right" with him (besides his views). If all I had to go by was the writing style on his website, I'd guess he was maaaaaybe 14.

@cassiadawn if my 14 year old son behaved like that he'd be grounded for life ;p

@northy I was referring to things like sentence structure and just the way the material flows, rather than his views. The whole "nobody believes I had a girlfriend so here's a giant photobomb of my ex" thing is so juvenile, as well as being an excellent example of the poor writing style:

"She has dropped of the face of the Earth and it’s been about 3 years or so since I even had any communication from her, so I just wanted that to be known and my reasoning for putting these on my site because I don’t want it to make girls get the wrong idea and think I am still in love with my ex or anything."

It's just painful to read!

hes photography website is written the same way. I posted this because this is a prime example of something you should not do when you work for yourself and your business needs to cater to a wide range of people. Anyone who now googles this guy to do business with him will also find all of the articles related to that link and the backlash that has come from it. You may not believe in a certain type of relationship, and that is fine, but when you can be hired to capture the memories between two people the last thing you want in public is for people to know how you feel about interracial relationships.

"I posted this because this is a prime example of something you should not do when you work for yourself and your business needs to cater to a wide range of people"

I know I'm late to this party but you nailed it with this. I heard about this guy on FB and was thinking this HAS to be a publicity stunt to get his photography out there. Then I read more about it all and was like "Nope. He's serious" and was mortified. The exact words out of my mouth were "There goes his career.." Some people are so painfully ignorant you wonder how they have made it this long in life. It's fine to have opinions, preferences and views on things but being a judgmental, prejudice idiot about how you express them has been the nails in the coffin for many careers.
