As I have always thought, and it has now been proven, Greg, you are a great man. You have lots of class and this video just proves all of it. You will do great things and you don't need Jared to get them. It's a shame this happen, but everything happens for a reason. There is something much bigger and better for you coming along.

Hugs from one student who has learned so much from you! Although, yes, I feel I still have a long way to go, so stick around!

Greg, thank you so much for everything that you have contributed to the froknowsphoto site over this last year. I will continue to follow you via your facebook and and your website and am hopeful that you will continue to put out these quality videos that everyday photographers like myself have come to rely on.

Thanks again,
Adam

Hey Greg, keep on, keeping on!! Get a video blog rolling and you have me as a follower. Your contribution to FKP was outstanding and I always looked forward to your videos and insight. Thanks!

And sh*t just got real.

love your videos. I would love to know if you do workshops. I would be there in a FLASH!!!!!! your flash stuff is priceless!!!!! They helped me allot...and i will fallow you and also help you in any way I can . I would love to work with you!!!!!! you are a great guy and an honest guy The fro sight was supposed to be about his mom now all the shirts mouse pads hats ,It's just about money, I still love the sight but will fallow you!!!

OMG! That photo is just too funny! Loved it!

You're a genuine guy Greg and that shines through. Jared comes across as up his own ****. You we're Jared's balance, without your input I can see people getting sick of Jared quickly. Also, he truthfully isn't that knowledgable where you are. You need to start putting out content soon though, as people soon forget...

This could be the break you need, best of luck,

James

I am verry sorry for what happened but you know what?I was fan of this site because of your comments and videos.I prefer your style in post processing images and your tecnical knowledge.
So i will follow your blog and if you create a new site i am 100% sure that most of the froknows users will follow you.
So i wish you the best...

Hi Greg, as always you are handling this in a mature fashion. I think we all know you helped build fkp.com and I encourage you to build your own. The fkp site will not be the same without your involvement. Things happen in our lives for a reason. It's your time to shine! I know it takes a lot to start over again - building a site, etc. Take some time to figure out what works for you. If you do decide to build a site you will have a big following waiting in the wings to help you grow.

You both complimented each other as your views were for the most part different. Which added more depth to the site.

I am very thankful for the time you put into all the videos/blogs, etc. and I just wanted to Thank you personally!

A Man's Man ! Words coming from the heart mind and soul, Not from a script.....Very well spoken Greg

I will say this upsets me, I looked up to Jared. To me it seems like an elementary school project. Jared and Greg seemed to have key parts in a two person project, but when it came time for the grade, he claimed all the credit. I will say that this is frustrating mainly because I looked up to him as a role model not only as a photographer but the way he ran a business, his attitude and his love for his friends and family. To see him dump away one of his colleges and close friends really makes me question if Jared is what he is like after the video ends with his friendly "Fro Knows Photo.com see-ya!"

I really wish that Jared will not destroy something that has worked and break something that has made me a 16 year old, a better photographer than some professional photographers.

Greg, I really wish that you and Jared can come to an understanding. However if that can't be met, I will watch your videos every time you post them.

We are hear to support you.. I too was used for my knowledge for a software company that is now a success and was let go once they milked everything I knew.. Seems to me that most people are "assholes until proven otherwise"

I do enjoy watching you and jared discuess topics and trust me jared always goes on rants over the same thing and makes the show long and boring for me.. I'm always forwarding it to bypass his rants and repeating of the same things.

I do like your style.. you obviously don't do a show to "make yourself the best man on the planet" like Jared does.. and you are just a down to earth guy that takes time to show us real world stuff.. I do support you in your new endeavors..

Thank you for this video. I am totally with you Greg. Greetings from Poland and I hope this not your last word :)

Good luck!

Greg, you must start something right now when you have the support of your 700 subscribers, before is too late. It's now or never. How many days you need to think? You have a website, you have a youtube channel, you have your own 700 subscibers. What else do you need? You are a man of action or we all 700 people were wrong about you?

Very sad to hear about these problems - I loved to see you together working in the froshow.

Good luck Greg, I think your answers are all here, get your site up and you will have people following you for sure........I know I will.

That jared is something else he removes all the posts with critique, i left a post about how to save 200 bucks and use the adjustment brush in lightroom instead of buying the plug in program silver efex pro. He did not like that post very much it lasted about 2 hours before he deleted it.

Wow, Jared pulled down his video discussing the situation. I imagine that it was because of the huge count of dislikes stacking up on it.

People are obviously siding with Greg.

Like you said, it's a business. Still, Jared's a bad person and a really bad friend to you. Will not support Jared any longer!! That's just stupid. Every fro lover should see that and if not, be ""gassed"" bcs of that!

Jared is a sad person. Using his mother's dead to propagate his brand and his dream to teach...his castle is crumbling now and the real Jared appears. Shame on Jared!!

Greg, pride yourself with the comments you are getting. This tells something about the fans and about you! Don't throw in the towel yet!! Expand your site! Teach us about "flash" and much more. Don't wait to long!

The fans will appreciate that more than Jared and his senile grandma mumbling about forgotten times!

Good luck to you, Greg!!!

P.S.: Still didn't get that Cazillo tattoo..... :(

this situation is a bummer. i enjoyed watching your weekly raw edits together. i hope if you decide to develop your own brand, you don't push your brand with t-shirts and stickers and patches with every other sentence and video.

I will be making an announcement on the future of my videos this week, stay tuned. --Greg

It seems, to me, more like Greg is the victim here and Jared is the bad guy.

I hope Greg at least will start making some videos and blog posts himself, cause he has a huge following already so it will be a perfect kick-start for his own blog and brand.

Personally I don't use much Lightroom or Flash so hopefully Greg will do videos on other things as well. On the other hand, re. Jareds videos, I really don't need to know what a box/plastic wrap smells like anymore and the RAW edits also seems to be more and more on auto-pilot, "add contrast. boom. done". And that latest FKP show (#009), what exactly did that have to do with a show other than being a longer video than usual? Nothing.

I thought FKP used to be a great site and I even placed 3 orders for t-shirts over the time, but now I just feel stupid wearing them cause I don't want to support the brand no more. I just hope at least Greg got some of the money from all the t-shirt sales...

You seem to be playing the politics game.

Greg said in his video that Jared forced him out, isn't that clear enough? Sounds like Jared is just sugar coating it so people feel better for him.

Quoting Caroline:

I agree with you, but thought the response was interesting because no where had anyone mentioned doing "joint videos" like Jared spoke of in the email. It doesn't sound 100% legit to me, but I'd love to know what Greg had to say about it. It would be nice for them to let the viewers know what is really going on.

Since Jared took down his video statement, removed comments & posts from the forum and hasn't made any other comments its pretty clear Jared wanted/pushed Greg out. I always thought Jared was arrogant enough to pull something like this.

Oh well. His loss. Karma's a *female dog*
