It's possible that some people who are new to the site may only see a minor transgression and move on, however, I think that to those to whom this site means anything will dig further and build a more complete picture of what's going on. SF's transgressions are far and wide and don't compress into a single post. My 2 cents."<br /><br />I'm waiting for the day that this site goes massively viral. To the point that when Fish walks down the street, people are pointing and saying "hey, isn't that Steven Frischling, the lying blogger?" While the contribution from the photography community has been hugely significant, lets not forget the larger goal. FishFraud is not solely for your enjoyment, but to prove a much bigger point. To do so, the content must be appealing to a wider audience. <br /><br />Maybe after than happens, Fish will become so famous he can start a new gig, like teaching companies and other bloggers what not to do.

I was using Elinchrom wireless triggers in 1985 or so. I was also using remote film cameras in catwalks without strobes at all kinds of events with 36 exposures.<br /><br />As far as his assertion that someone bumped him in "direct violation of working in the catwalks in Lake Placid," I've never heard of such a rule in my entire career. If that camera fell, it's no one's fault but his. Putting up remotes is very serious business. People can get killed if you're not careful. If he was placing the camera at the time that he allegedly got bumped, then he should have had the strap around his neck until it was locked down and then had it safety cabled after that.<br /><br />Having said that, I don't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth. I doubt he was even at the event.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189040857725534268.post-42518469894349932192011-03-21T21:27:52.226-07:002011-03-21T21:27:52.226-07:00And why the frack would you loan a new $5000+ AF-I...And why the frack would you loan a new $5000+ AF-I lens to be used on an F3?

PocketWizards were still relatively rare then (it was a glorified garage door opener). Yes, people were running hard lines, but those people were more along the lines of Sports Illustrated, not an 18 year old kid stringing for a wire service.<br /><br />Also, to be using a film remote in 1994, he probably had to have been using strobes as well. Because to dedicate a body and a brand new 300 f/2.8 to a remote, you would make damn sure that it was going to give you 36 (if he was using the 250 exposure back, he would have mentioned it) really good images. With where film technology was at the time (I don't remember if Fuji 800 had been introduced by then), without strobes, you would have gotten fairly gross looking photos.<br /><br />Finally, lets say he did get shipped a brand new 300 from a wire service to shoot college hockey in Lake Placid. If you were 18, and had a brand new 300 in hand, would you relegate it to being a remote camera, or would you use it as your primary lens, and shoot as many frames with it as possible? I bought a 400 when I was in college, and I don't think I ever used it as a remote, despite having a set of PocketWizards Pluses (the blue ones had just been introduced) and a pre-trigger cable. I didn't want to let that lens out of my sight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189040857725534268.post-3005320464009206622011-03-21T18:38:54.396-07:002011-03-21T18:38:54.396-07:00he hasn't been on SS either since the 5th.

But I wonder if you can get canned for bumping into someone? I've shot from catwalks in theaters and not heard any rule about not walking behind someone (told earlier in Frischling's story, he gives this as the reason the other shooter had his credentials taken, the guy bumped into him from behind, a no no, causing the rig to fall and the other shooter losing his credentials). On the face of it, that seems absurd. Again, I've never set up a remote for a hockey game, but in my experience shooting theater catwalks, I can't possibly imagine that one) some professional (presumably) would tamper with someone else's rig and that two) there wasn't plenty of room for two remotes. It sounds absurd. <br /><br />Good point 4:57.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189040857725534268.post-69144727926074211152011-03-21T18:25:17.403-07:002011-03-21T18:25:17.403-07:00so have they given up on "Exposing the Bullie...so have they given up on "Exposing the Bullies"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189040857725534268.post-39923598307094471932011-03-21T18:10:02.500-07:002011-03-21T18:10:02.500-07:00I had my credential revoked in 2001-2002'ish a...I had my credential revoked in 2001-2002'ish after I "found" myself on the catwalk above the floor at the First Union Center in Philadelphia. <br /><br />It was a Villanova vs. UConn game...the Operations people threatened to ban us (myself and another local shooter) permanently...and the 'Nova SID seemed to have it out for me after that little incident.Delane Rousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189040857725534268.post-56843049295927169002011-03-21T16:57:20.781-07:002011-03-21T16:57:20.781-07:00You have to remember he lives in a fantasy world w...You have to remember he lives in a fantasy world where he impressed by certain things that make no sense to the rest of us.
