Isn’t “I have never intentionally misled anyone” a creepy thing to say? Not when you’re Marc Adamus!

Whenever Marc is called out on a particularly juicy chunk of bullshit, he starts whining and complaining about how everyone is attacking him for no reason whatsoever, etc. A choice phrase of his is:

I have never intentionally misled anyone

which actually, when you think about, is a pretty creepy thing to say. It means that yes, Marc does mislead people, but never intentionally. We wonder if this is Marc’s subconscious blaring?

Of course, according to a genuis like Rick Lundh, you should not read what Marc says or assume it’s meant seriously. You should simply just look at his images, love Marc unconditionally, and remember, if you don’t like Marc’s images, you’re a moron.

Remember how Marc Adamus took advantage of Galen Rowell’s name by launching his website on August 11th, and saying “rest in peace Galen” on a banner?

Now that August 11th is coming up, it’s good to remember that Marc Adamus has always seen himself as continuing where Galen Rowell left off (laughter). As many of you remember, when he launched his website on the 11th of August 2008, he had a banner on the frontpage that said “rest in peace Galen”. Kind of creepy, don’t you think? Here’s a guy with no connection to Galen Rowell who decided to write this up a mere 6 years after Galen died. He obviously forgot to add to the banner “I’ll take it from here, Galen”.

Of course, when called on his bullshit, Marc always claims that it’s “ridiculous” that he is tying himself to Galen in such a matter. Never mind that he named his son “Galen”. We suppose that was a big coincidence, too. We don’t think that Gary Crabbe, a close friend of Galen’s, would name his child “Galen”. Neither did any other friend of Galen’s do this. It would clearly be insulting and an attempt to ride on Galen’s coattails. Hey, if Marc has a daughter, will he name her “Barbara”?

Marc constantly claims he’s published in Outdoor Photographer & Popular Photography…so what?

Whenever Marc needs to pull out the big guns to impress THUGS & MORONS, he says something like the following:

I have recently been published in Outdoor Photographer, DPN, Popular Photography, and National Geographic.

Let’s go over that:

1. So he’s been “published” (and we use that term loosely) in a rag like Outdoor Photography. What’s that doing for him? He didn’t even get paid for it. Instead, he just mailed in dozens of 8×10’s until they finally published him just to get rid of him. Worse, he usually just shows up in the “showcase” section. Real accomplishment there, Marc!

2. DPN is another amateur photography rag. Being published here impresses loser amateurs, but it’s another no-pay job that’s only useful for adding awards to pump up your credibility.

3. Popular Photography is as low as you can go in photography publishing. Not only does it pay very little to nothing, it doesn’t reach anyone who buys images. Only amateurs and wanna-be’s read this magazine, mostly to see if one of their “friends” made it somewhere in the showcase.

4. Marc Adamus wasn’t actually published in National Geographic’s magazine. He placed in one of their online contests, and he vaguely defined this as being “published” in Nat Geo. Talk about lies and exaggerating!

The THUGS & MORONS say “No one takes your blog seriously!” but their actions speak volumes!

In the beginning, when the THUGS & MORONS thought we would just “go away” and let them jack off to Marc’s “fame” in peace, they had all sorts of ridicule for us:

No one takes your blog seriously.

This will actually increase Marc’s business.

Everyone is laughing at you.

Clearly, the tables have turned. The ugly mood on various forums and right here in the comments on our blog is clear. Their ploy hasn’t worked, Marc is being exposed, and the THUGS & MORONS are in PANIC mode. Must save Marc. He is the real thing (laughter).

While MarcAdamusLIES.com has been accused of being similar to the Unabomber, what have the THUGS been saying?

Several ignorant THUGS & MORONS have attempted to imply that we are on the brink on violently exploding and causing great harm. However, MarcAdamusLIES.com has never, and will never advocate violence of any kind, against anyone. That is not our mission. Our mission is in exposing Marc Adamus as the journalists of old would have.

However, what have THUGS & MORONS said?

Bryan Swan:

Has threatened to make us look “all sorts of bad” and has expressed his desire to hit us with a “nerf bat” (translation: Baseball bat).

Anonymous coward on the MAL blog:

The author of this blog deserves a fist in the face

Hougaard Malan on the MAL blog:

I’ll fucking kill you all!

Who looks like violent, Manifesto-writing THUGS & MORONS now?

Remember: Marc is not a real photographer. Heck, in 2007, he was a part-time bartender!

Remember that Marc Adamus hasn’t been “professional” for a very long time. In 2006 and 2007, according to his own account, he was serving drinks in some Corvallis dive (and, of course, playing pool professionally, no doubt). On Timecatcher.com, he lists his professional experience as “9 years” (laughter). What a joke!

Some of the THUGS & MORONS have been shooting for longer than Marc has, but yet they are STILL taking photo tours and workshops from him.

Also see the MarcAdamusLIES.com article:

Why you should not take a Marc Adamus Workshop or Photo Tour

Remember, if it came from Marc or was said by him, it’s probably a lie! Words to live by!

Remember: Marc doesn’t make money from selling images; his workshops & photo tours are selling you a LIE

From MarcAdamusLIES.com:

Marc doesn’t really make money from selling images or prints. However, that’s what he’d want you to think! The whole point of his workshops is to imply that by taking one, you too can become wildly successful like Marc and become a full time landscape photographer. If you believe that, we’ve also got a bridge you may be interested in.

When Marc received his Canon 5D and started Photoshopping the Heck out of his images, he also started receiving less interest from editors & magazines. In fact, when was the last time you saw a Marc Adamus image published anywhere? (Loser magazines like Outdoor Photographer & Popular Photography don’t count; they don’t even pay for publishing images).

While Marc worried about the lack of editorial interest, he also noticed that THUGS & MORONS such as Kevin Mcneal, Adrian Klein, and Jesse Estes desperately wanted to know how to “shoot like Marc”. He found out that selling workshops made up the slack in his cash flow, and each workshop sold out increased the number of losers signing up for the next one.

So, think a moment, will you? If Marc can’t sell his Photoshopped images in great enough quantities to make a living, what makes you IDIOTS (speaking only of Marc worshippers here) believe that there’s a market for 10 to 20 additionaly exact copies of Marc’s work out there? Put down the crack pipe, please, MORONS.

An Interview with Jay Maisel

Marc Adamus isn’t even a real photographer! He’s just a LIAR and a seller of bogus workshops!

From MarcAdamusLIES.com:
Ever wonder where Marc’s money comes from? You’d think that it would come from licensing images and selling prints. However, you’d be wrong. The majority of his income comes from selling workshops & “photo tours” to IDIOTS & THUGS who desperately (translated into “passionately”) want to be like him, or at least, they want to be the particular Marc Adamus portrayed by his long campaign of lying & propaganda.

Marc Adamus himself has admitted that he sells “3 to 5” images a month from his website. Knowing his proclivity for lying & stretching the truth, let’s readjust that to “2 to 3” images a month. You can check out his comment below:

MarcAdamusLIES.com Blog Archive

He also suggests that he offers refunds to anyone “not satisfied” with his prints. Hmm, if he’s one of the “most critically acclaimed photographers of his time” and surely the best photographer in the world, according to his THUG buddies, why would anyone be unsatisfied with his prints? Another clue, perhaps?

Anyway, say maybe $700-800 gross a month from prints, at the very most. The rest comes from the numerous workshops he sells, where he promises the earth, sky, and how to shoot like him, to any MORON stupid enough to plunk down the cash. No refunds on a workshop, we’re sure!

So remember, next time you admire Marc Adamus, he doesn’t really make any money from photography. He just makes money from idiots who want to shoot like him because they think he makes a lot of money from selling images & prints. Boy, that’s some convulated thinking, eh?

Well, we never said they were smart. We just said that they are THUGS & MORONS!

The “passionate about nature” LIE courtesy of THUGS & MORONS

Ever notice how all Marc Adamus worshippers tend to create their own version of his lying manifesto? It usually reads something like this:

-I am extremely, incredibly passionate about landscape photography
-I will stop at nothing to capture an area at its most dramatic
-My passion has forced me to seek out new areas for photography
-My own grammar & spelling is grade school level & would confuse a monkey, but I still think MarcAdamusLIES needs a spellcheck (OK, we threw that one in ourselves)
-I don’t realize how retarded it sounds to pretend I am incredibly passionate, but to only have 20 images in my Smugmug galleries, 10 of which are exact copies of Marc Adamus images

Like we’ve said before, we never said they were smart. We just said that they are THUGS, MORONS, & IDIOTS!

What does copying the typical Marc Adamus image cost if you’re a photo tour taking THUG? About $7000!

So let’s run it down. Pretend you’re Ryan Dyar or Jesse Estes, or another loser whose website is full of vain pretense and sad attempts at “passion” for wilderness or whatever line they’re using these days. How much do you pay to go out on a workshop and copy one of Marc’s “unmistakeable” compositions? Let’s take the seemingly ever popular Owen’s River shot:

-5D Mark II: $2700
-16-35mm version 2: $1450
-Tripod & tripod head: approx $300
-Copy of Photoshop CS3 or CS4: appro $600
-Gas to drive to the Sierras & back in a medium SUV like a Explorer: approx $300
-Cost of 4-5 nights in a hotel: approx $400-500
-Of course, cost of Marc’s Photo Tour: About $700

This doesn’t even include all costs, but if you were one day struck with passion and decided to copy Marc’s Owen River shot, it would cost you approximately $7000. Money you’ll make from “selling” fine-art prints of your precious copy of Marc’s Image, safely stored on your Smugmug or Zenfolio site: it’s safe to say zero.

Hey, we never said they were smart. We just said they were MORONS, IDIOTS, and THUGS!
