Nio models, and no photographers here have done product work? 

Why should I consider the models as something more than narcissists nor the photographers as GWC's?

... but probably don't have those images in our ports here at *MODEL* (ahem) Mayhem. then again, there are a gazillion different photographers' ports up; some *DO* have some product / table-top stuff in their ports.

toothpaste? I've done some paying work and a lot of TFP, I don't see anything wrong with that, I'm learning and improving and getting more and more paying work which is what I want. Should I just not show my face here until I am fully established?
I don't see what your point is here. There are people much more experienced than myself here who are absolutely amazing and the rest of us have to priveledge to get advice from and be inspired by them on a daily basis through this site. What's wrong with that? frankly, I think it's fantastic.

Why do you assume this? And even if no photographers here have done product work (which is completely not true by the way) why do you assume photographers that photograph models are GWCs? Photographers specialize in various categories; some don't like product work. Some aren't interested in nature photographer. Some don't do landscape. And what would you expect to see on a site called "Model Mayhem?"

  Come on, you can tell me (I promise I won't tell anyone): Is this just an attempt at a troll thread?

  Er, yeah...

And you sell prints for $10 each on ebay in between those jobs.  Wow.  Big time. I hope my ego grows as big as yours someday.

Your thread (abrasive as it is) and your portfolio tells us all we need to know, both are very shallow.

If the truth bothers you, don't post threads inviting it.

It's just another poor attempt at trolling. My advice is let's not feed this one.

bye the way...were you including yourself in that group 'GWC'...  because I have seen actual GWC's (self proclaimed) with much better work than what you have uploaded and better than what is in your ebay store for 10. bucks a shot which has not had a whole lot of sales...you may want to drop your prices like 2 for 1 or something..

Cheers,
