Stephenphoto's blog

I’m not sure why somebody would put a thumbs down just because they are not interested in it.
Just move on.
If there is an issue with the content: offensive, poor quality, a scam… then I get it.
Nothing strikes me as thumbs down worthy here.

Keep going Stephen!
Always like your imaginative pro camera work.
Thumbs up from me and those who do thumbs down just don't like others doing cool things.
Keep going mate!

Gents (Ironbull & Alf Nelson), thanks for the wise words.

Me personally I'm not bothered by the thumbs down at all, I've a small group of people who purchase my content quite regular and a couple who commission matches, so I must be doing something right. That along with the occasional purchaser and I'm more than happy producing what I do.

Don't worry, Stephen, you are not the only one and that I used to be in the same boat (or should I say same ring?).

In the distant past, my blogs were subjected to thumbs-downs and negative comments. Someone on this site (I think it was Ironbull) kindly defended me, commenting something along the lines that he couldn't understand the negative attitude of some members of this site. Since then, the voting system for my blogs has been disabled.

All I can say, Stephen, is keep up your good work, keep enjoying and doing your wrestling stuff, and ignore all the negativity.

I'm curious, and apologies if I'm speaking out of turn, but what's with all the down votes?

I actually put a down vote, as it’s personally not for me. I appreciate the hard work and effort the guy puts in to produce the content, that many love. The rating is there on every video/post etc.. I actually follow this guy on watchfighters as im always wanting to support local content.

Can't really answer that myself.

I shoot male, mixed and trans matches, something for everyone I'd have presumed.

If only one person gives it a thumbs up, then I know at least one person liked it.

But we are all individuals and can make our own choices, can never please all the people all the time.

Well if the naysayers are reading, more creativity from more people is surely a good thing. So I hope that they will get their cameras out and show us their own ideas.

This should be a safe space in which to put it out there.
