As you can see from the post attached BP is in constant contact with the folks over at PDN. In fact the Bitter Photographer is happy to be the first one to make the following announcement:
In addition to the Photo Annual , PIX, Self-Promotion, World in Focus, Weddings, Student Contest: the editors at Photo District News are pleased to announce a new contest geared to toward any lost soul who through some clerical error has not gotten into one the of the dozen or so contests we offer. As long as we get your entry fee on time you are in. If you have the money you are a winner!
Finally a contest up the BP's alley! Cha!

My money is on you being Andreas Gursky.

My money is on Russell James or is it James Russell? Hard to tell.
I think the bitter photographer is:
Timothy White, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders or Craig Cutler. All Stockland Martel shooters.
My guess is that its me. My friends think its me even though I never fucking work and lack a Happy Sally.
BP is Greg Crewdson
No....BP is most likely a smart and funny guy whose career was that of a photographic "underachiever" of sorts whom none of us has ever heard of. Someone who has lots of clients and keeps them happy and makes good money but not a photography rockstar. Someone who has accepted the compromises that may be necessary for a long time in the business, has good enough work, but is probably really hysterical at cocktail parties.
I'm guessing he was involved enough in the ad world to do well, but probably someone below the radar and not a player like White, Greenfield, Cutler, Buck, etc.
I know one photographer that three people asked if it was him. His comment was, "am I that cynical?", then denied it.
I just hope I am never the target for BP.
BP has a wicked sense of timing and he/she is funny as hell.
I paid three times and only got in twice - now that really hurt. But at least once they didn't cash my check so we're even. I'm waiting for the detached self-portrait contest, cos that one i'll win - I grew up only a half hour east of Düsseldorf. Shooting for the best business handshake competition right now.
Who cares, just get on with the bitterness, there's still so much to do!
Now that the deadpan is out and about, how about it eh
this is a refreshing competition, and its free

Christ this is funny. What a great way to start my day, I actually spit coffee onto my keyboard.
Don't stop now.
PDN is a bunch of retards if you ask me.
They give LiveBooks sites awards for best website.
Only those schmucks would offer a "best stock photo" category.
How about a "Best Accidentally-Bumped-Shutter-Release Photo" category too?
BP, wanna get hitched, I'll be Terrance, you'll be Philip? BTW, are you Canadian? It would be more legit that way.
Shit, I used my real name; ah, what the hell, PDN, just a bunch of "Asneknullararsle", if you really want to know what I think!
i was losing interest in this blog, but ok, that's pretty damn funny.

welcome back brian
As long as PDN can't figure out the diffence between a bus stop and an fstop (sorry Bambi) when doing them weddin' contests, there will be a need for BP.
Sic 'em tiger!
Fuck PDN. They can take their entry fees and shove em up their butts.
I was asked to judge a PDN contest this year. I looked at pictures super lo-res online and felt like the whole process was pretty cynical. I got fucked and so did the entrants. Never again.
I stopped entering a while ago...and now I find this. This is too funny! Love it.
PDN has found a great new source of revenue. Good for them. I think I need to stop reading all about the b.s. in our industry, and just get on with it...
Yoo-Hoo shit-heads! It has become painfully obvious to me that BP is in fact the anarchist ghost of Henri Cartier-Bresson come back form his analog grave to scissor-kick the shit out of the digital age. There is a ghost in the machine!
