My name is Tim and I am a photographer in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Recently, a client of mine has went online lying about the services I provided. While this is the first time this has happened, that a client went out of his/her way to lie about me soo badly, I preferred to let it go. However, recently it has come to my attention that this former client, Justin Babcock has started harassing other people online for no other reason than they have the same name as I do. Not only does Mr. Babcock lie about his assertions that I did not fulfill my contract to him, but he unfairly lays this blame on everyone he can find online who shares my name. The time has come for me to set the record straight, if for no other reason to hopefully stop Justin Babcock from spreading lies about me, and then applying those lies to innocent people all over the country.
I photographed Justin and his wife Rachelle’s wedding back in May of 2011. May 28th to be exact. After the wedding I had their photographs online on Pictage within three weeks. The photos were edited as they always are, with basic color correction and exposure correction. The next step in the process would be for Justin and Rachelle to pick out the photographs they want as part of their wedding collection. However, I never heard from Justin or Rachelle in regards to what photographs they wanted until some time later. Which I will show here in a second.
In the screenshot below, taken from my e-mail account you can see for yourself what date Justin Babcock let me know what photographs he wanted printed. If you look in the top right hand corner of the e-mail you will see what date he sent it to me on. DECEMBER 8TH 2011. A WHOLE SEVEN MONTHS AFTER HIS WEDDING. 
Now what a minute you say…wasn’t Justin Babcock online as early as November saying he didn’t get his images, that I stole from him, that I refused to get in contact with him, that I was refusing to give him his prints? Yep….However, he wasn’t even reviewing ME, he was reviewing other people online and giving them bad reviews for no reason other than sharing the same name as me! And, as other people pointed out, he was leaving the same review over and over again on multiple websites, but under different names including Joe and Bob, claiming to be someone who hired me. However, he didn’t realize that leaving multiple reviews that are word for word identical under different names would draw attention to him, he was wrong.
Also, look at the date of all of there reviews. They are all November 28th, almost a full two weeks prior to the date he actually gave me the list of photographs he wanted. It would be funny if it wasn’t soo damaging to other people’s reputations.


But wait, how could it be that I was refusing to give Justin the prints that he ordered…when he didn’t even order them until December 8th?!?!?! I think that is a question only Justin could know. The worst part of all of this….he wasn’t even leaving a review for ME, he was leaving a review for a photographer who shares the same name as I in Georgia! On top of this display he also has reviewed Attorneys in Massachusetts as stealing photography from him, a construction company in Connecticut accusing them of stealing from him all because they have a Tim Nealon on their staff, all because they shared the same name as me. Like I said, I am not one to step in and put a client in his place, but Mr. Babcock’s time has been long past due.
Justin Babcock has continued to spread his lies online, onto other people who have nothing to do with the dispute him and I had. He even went as far as saying I was harassing him and he has had enough. See the pic below:

Wait Justin, what was the e-mail you sent me just a few days ago saying? Here, let me remind you.

In the end, his photographs were shipped to him within 3 weeks of him finally letting me know which photographs he wanted. To put this in perspective, it has been 8 months since his wedding and 7 of those 8 months were me waiting for them to let me know which photos they wanted printed. Wow. The photographs were shipped Fedex and delivery was confirmed. However Justin claimed they never arrived when I talked to him in e-mails. He claimed he never received them and would be calling the Police on me for ‘Grand Larceny’. Seriously, check out the e-mail below. I have a hard time believing Justin when he tells me the photos didn’t arrive, because he was went out of his way to create lies about everything else. Plus Fedex confirmed the delivery. On top of this, I offered to send the photos a second time if he would stop lying about the situation, leaving false reviews online….and his response to my offer? To start aTwitter account and make up Google Pages using my name. Really? Yep, it is absolutely unbelievable.

In closing, nothing Justin Babcock has been everything but truthful, he has damaged other people’s reputations online with his lies. He has assumed multiple identities including impersonating me along with Tim Nealons across the country. He has created fake Facebook accounts in my name, which Facebook removed after I contacted them. When that happened he resorted to other methods of spreading false information. I have offered help to the Tim Nealons that he has been harassing in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Georgia to bring legal action against Justin Babcock. Like I said, I was content to let this go, but Justin Babcock insists on continuing to spread lies about me at other people’s expense.
