Re: Professional Photographer (Resubmit)
I love this one...I think it is different enough from the other camera shirts out there to be original.

Re: Professional Photographer (Resubmit)
Thanks! I tried to make it more of a professional looking camera.

But the design wraps around the collar a little. Woot can't print like that.

Just because somethings be done before doesnt mean it cant be done again better in the future. Is great cover song unoriginal?

In fact, I'll go deeper still.
Original means a lot of things, but usually it means unique in some way, or the first of its kind. A cover song, by definition, cannot be original, because it is a cover. Hendrix may have made Watchtower his own, but Dylan's version is still the only one which can be considered original. Similarly, even if a designer at woot created a shirt that someone else did, but did it better, it's still not ORIGINAL. And we should be looking for a smidgen of originality here. We already have Todd Goliath and Carlos Mencia. We don't need more unoriginal crap being marketed as unique.

too bad it's been done several times over. And this was discussed months ago, when someone came up with the idea: Gee, why doesn't someone make a shirt in which it looks like a camera is hanging by a strap around the neck? Someone replied with about all the shirts I came up with, when I simply googled: "camera shirt".

Re: Professional Photographer (Resubmit)
Yeah, sure, it's been done before...but never with a high-end pro camera...the "touristy" angle is good for the other ones, but it's time for a Big Kid's camera shirt! I hope it wins! And, YAY for it being a Nikon...sorry for all you Canon shooters...

Re: Professional Photographer (Resubmit)
Well I like it. Although it would take a little something extra for my vote... like a pocket with a "star map" sticking out, or something.
