I attribute this to culture difference.Uh, it couldn't be the way you put "look at yourself...Blindly following what "master"... Yeah, it's me

Great reply!Uh, it couldn't be the way you put "look at yourself...Blindly following what "master"... Yeah, it's me
You are just great at this!Great reply!
Do you agree with the statement I made or not? I could careless about what show these trees display at. Just because the Japanese did it that way, doesn't mean everyone have to blindly follow it without asking questions. We have eyes and brain so we can see and decide what is better.... Don't ask me to show my trees. You don't need to have any tree to see how silly these look.
I don't spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on trees so I don't have anything as special at yours. What I can tell you is what I have won't be looking silly from the sides or back."Don't ask me to show my trees. You don't need to have any tree to see how silly these look"
Well, um, seeing your actual work would put some perspective on what you're talking about. Particularly when it comes to your criticism of rote blind following of masters...Let's see what YOU have done. Money talks, Bullshit walks.
Yeah, "won't" is quite a tell...I don't spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on trees so I don't have anything as special at yours. What I can tell you is what I have won't be looking silly from the sides or back.
I am pretty far from profound. Like Yogi Berra might have said "SOMETIMES a broken clock is right twice a day"“I sometimes don’t follow my own advice.”
That is funny and profound at the same time. And honest.

Like the assumptions you are making about me? Pfff.. snowflakeI've seen your previous posts on this subject and IMHO, they seem to come from a position of ignorance. You also seem to like to make a lot of assumptions about other posters.
Have you ever been to a national level bonsai show and seen some of these trees in person? Have you walked down the aisles and seen how ridiculous some of them look
from anything other than that narrowly defined "front"? I've been to 5 of the 6 national shows, have been on the set up and photo crews...I've seen these kinds of trees up close and personal.
Tell us about your background and bonsai experience - if you dare.
Took you two days to come up with that reply? LOL. Good workLike the assumptions you are making about me? Pfff.. snowflake
I have a hard time deciding whether,My favorite Yogi Berra quote - “If you don’t think so good, try not to think so much”
orIf you come to a fork in the road, take it.
are my fav's (perhaps I paraphrase and am not accurately citing what he said; perhaps these aren't his words at all, but they are definitely Yogi-isms).It is hard to make predictions, especially about the furture.
