Dear Playboy.com :::

[DeanCapture]

Dear Playboy.com,

...today I am cancelling my subscription to your website. I've used it primarily over the years as study material. Arny Freytag & Stephen Wayda are 2 of your best photographers - it's a pity you don't utilize them more. Instead, you resort to using guys who can barely shoot their way out of a paperbag. Today I logged into to find this. Honestly, is this the best that you can do? I can find crap like this anywhere - why do I need a subscription to Playboy.com for this?

No wonder you guys are heading down the shitter, you've forgotten what quality meant! If I want to see amateur photography, I'll join an amateur website. I joined Playboy to see the best... of the best...of the best - and this is what you give me?

[CaptainHowdy]

So you are saying Franck will be unbanned?

[AmeliaG]

That shot is a lil special in composition and could be retouched better, but Playboy has some galleries of that same girl where she looks totally hot.

[baddog]

Playboy reads GFY or did you actually send it to someone that may care?

[Emma]

that's gotta hurt

[DeanCapture]

I sent it to some folks at Playboy.com..... but who knows if they care or not? If they really cared, it would have been taken care of by now. When you see this level of neglect, you can't imagine that someone actually cares. But like Eric and I discussed one time, this is the corporate world and trying to get anything done in a corporate world can sometimes take forever and be a pain in the ass!

good to hear... post some of your work please

[Deej]

good to hear... post some of your work please

Yea!!! Who is this guy talking down on playboy!?!?!

[MrDeiz]

DeanCapture just leaved visitors message into your profile ;)

[munki]

you made me lose it.

Coffee all over my keyboard...

[notime]

Thumbs up for Eric & free speech!

[todhunter]

I think it's the model, myself. I don't think she's Playboy material.

Worse, she's "Coed of the Week." If there's anyplace on Planet Playboy you would expect to see fresh-faced girls next door, that would be it.

I have a penis, girls have a vagina..

I did

[Eric]

I don't want to hijack Dean's thread, but you guys will be seeing a revised way of doing things around here effective Jan 1. There will be a full announcement and listing of how these items will be handled.

Carry on

[ladida]

I see nothing wrong with the picture, not sure what you people are trippin' over. I've seen 100 of you post "fucking hot" on absolutelly horrible girls, but this one is suddenly bad? Bandwagon whores i say. The pose the picture is in may not be the most usuall one, but it's most likelly a part of a serie of shots, and having constantly same poses, on same couches and chairs in same clothes gets a little old. Otherwise, picture clarity and color is one of the better ones posted around.

[Sly]

I think that she is "hot" in some sense but she has a pierced lip... nothing against pierced lips, but when I think of Playboy material I think of off the chart babes that are basically flawless... that sexy American history teacher you had in 10th grade. Something mysterious, something taboo... this isn't really either.

I don't know man... at some point it seems that companies decide to take the Money and run. Throw all of their key ingredients out the window. Use cheaper versions of chocolate. Offer up PBR instead of a nice import. Drive around in a civic instead of a Porsche.

I don't get it. Why do successful companies become complacent? Why do they lose their vision?

[Kudles]

Well at least your honest

[gooddomains]

i'd hit them any time

[stickyfingerz]

You sure about that?

Sigh mostly sure.

And while I'm at it - let me say a few words about the quality of the video on Playboy.com. As someone who has been investing heavily in HD camera gear, HD post-production and HD education in general, I can't believe some of the stuff I'm seeing on Playboy.com. The colors are flat and the contrast is flat. It's like they captured the footage to the computer and threw it right up on the site...with little to no regard for color correcting or enhancing the footage. My CaptureGirls HD footage looks 20 times better then most of the footage on Playboy.com and I'm a one-man operation. I shoot it, edit it, color correct it and enhance it all myself. Does it take money? No! It simply takes having pride in your work...that's all! If I can do this - surely Playboy can do this!

By the way, I'm available for consultations if Playboy needs my services My clients don't do business with me because I'm cheap.....they do business with me because I have an eye for quality and I take pride in my work. This is something that seems to be sorely lacking with my friends at Playboy.com

Eric, is there anyone you can forward this thread to that gives a damn about the quality of the content on Playboy.com?

Dude I looked at your site and you shoot really good content if that's your website.

To be honest with you comparing your pictures to playboys your photography work and time taken per picture, editing is far more superior then playboy. I think they should hire you to shoot content.

[Dagwolf]

Thank heaven
For naked girls
Without them what
Would naked boys doooooooooooo?...

Dean,
You do have the playboy standards potential and ambition IMHO but some sentences above in your last post I would have rephrased in other words.
