If you use wronkled up bed sheets for shoots,  then you might be a GWC.

Kudos to Brian for thinking up the term,  Wronkled up

I think this is better.

If you ask to shoot a model when you only want a date,  you might be a GWC.

Still needs a little refining...

If you printed your business cards at home and pass them out to slightly above average girls at bars, you might be a GWC.

If you constantly log onto forums and make fun of how others do their art, you might be a GWC...without even knowing it.

If you continue to shoot a model while she is adjusting her o drapy shit and then show her pictures of her o drapy shit hanging out you might be a GWC.

If your idea of "lighting" is the pop up flash on the camera... You might be a GWC.

If your idea of "Art" is topless or nude... You might be a GWC.

If your idea of a good camera is a point and shoot... You might be a GWC.

If the only purpose to your shooting is to see if you can get a girl naked...you might be a GWC.

If you pay models to get naked in front of your camera with no aspirations of ever publishing, exhibiting or generating further work from the images...you might be a GWC.

In the case of a webcam you would be a GWW.

If you've got nothing better to do than sit around and make fun of people, you might be a jackass.

Seriously, the GWC crap is getting old.

I am guilty of alot of these...I guess I qualify as a GWC.  Here are my infractions:

Shot in a hotel room.

Shot 11 frames before I realized I had no film in the camera.

Left a filter on while shooting color that was for b/w.

Have gotten LOTS of models naked and not ashamed to say that it was not the least enjoyable moment of my life.

Had film developed at Ritz, Wolf, and Wal-mart.

Used a bed sheet as a backdrop or to diffuse light.

Ooh, I printed my business cards at home...I figure if I can print archieval quality photos...I can handle printing business cards too.

I guess I qualify...ladies and gentlemen...Benjamin Cook....Guy with Camera!!!
