He stood at the side of the road and took a photo. He's hardly Einstein.

Yes he takes photo sells to agency for a lot of money and then gets royalties from other publications globally who licence the pictures from him to use. All by standing at the roadside and taking a photo...As I said....genius.

No, that would make him shrewd, not a genius. Besides which, your reason for calling him a "genius" is an afterthought.

Thanks much. As I’ve always said....It’s a lot harder than it appears to the untrained eye....I’ll leave it at that. Palbay

Having been to Spartanburg I know that location away from the visitors centre is not generally accessible to the public at most times.

Are you saying you're a "genius"?
Stop it Betty
With the X5, the Z4 and the 8er coming, really good times for BMW design seem to be ahead
I'd add the X2 too. But the counter to those are the (imo) average looking X3/4, and lovely but extremely boring 5er.

Palbay is good people, he always shares on here the photos before they go on sale. That says something...

That doesn't make him a "genius".
Are we on a guessing game or actually read our website posts?
Ha!! This is Scott. Of course it's a guessing game.
@SCOTT27 stop answering people's questions when you don't know the answer. Just have some humility and say you don't know.

He's still a genius for knowing where to spot them and for being the only on in SC doing it. So good for him, we got tons of scoops thanks to Palbay.

You have a very broad definition of the word "genius". And you also seem to be obfuscating what I'm saying. Just because I don't think he's a "genius", it doesn't mean I'm saying what he's doing isn't useful. I just can't be doing with over-the-top sycophancy. He's taking photos of cars. He isn't performing open heart surgery, FFS!!

Your tenacity makes me think of Leo in The Revenant . But basically, I agree and tend to also have issues with the excessive use of such superlatives. That is why I also have to emphasize that even most heart and neurosurgeons I know (and I know quite a lot of them) are no genii

Yeah, but just look at the idiots hysterically hitting the "dislike" button.
Not sure what they find so awful. Why does everything have to be so binary? Somebody does something quite good and it's not enough to just say "thanks" or "that's good". It has to be "he's a genius". And if you say anything less than that it's DISLIKE DISLIKE DISLIKE.

^Well, I have had my share in experiences with 'hysterical' dislikes . And this here is another example of an escalation that can only take place in virtual settings. In real life, we would have been over that on page 16 (IRONY!).
Let us just keep that in mind when going to the next fanboy war where every unpleasant argument is blown up before even taking one second of thinking about it. Sometimes, it is really illuminative to let others' povs sink in.

Yay, food fight!
Such a good movie.
Well, it was fun when I watched it as a kid.
Oh, what were you guys talking about?
