My photo is going be on Tyra!!
I just got the coolest phone call from a model, ever! Evidently Sasha just got selected to represent the West Coast for the upcoming plus model contest on Tyra's show. Tyra personally picked her, and from what I hear, was really enthusiastic about the photo. I've just received a request for permission to use the photo when Sasha hits the runway on the show. Hmmm, gotta think about that. Not! I can't tell you how pleased I am, both for myself and Sasha, but also to see some gorgeous plus size models out there doing great work and getting attention and recognition for it. This is what my photography is all about. This ROCKS! The photo in question is below, just because I'm a show-off like that. Feb 05 06 01:26 pm Link congrats, The photo and model look beautiful. Feb 05 06 01:54 pm Link Super congrats.. I can see why the photo and model were selected. You did a great job. Not only for yourself but for the model as it sounds like the photo helped in the selection process. Feb 05 06 01:59 pm Link Congratulations. Get out the VCR,LOL. I hope they give you credits,too. Feb 05 06 02:00 pm Link congrats! I didnt know Tyra had anything of that nature coming up... I dont watch the show, I catch it when I can though. Thats ultra cool. One of these days, I hope to be in front of your lens Feb 05 06 02:02 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: Whats a VCR? Feb 05 06 02:04 pm Link Very cool Feb 05 06 02:05 pm Link That's so awesome.

Feb 05 06 04:27 pm Link Congrats!!! Beautiful shot and model. Feb 05 06 06:44 pm Link good work Feb 05 06 06:47 pm Link Congratulations. As I ALWAYS say around here when people bitch about TFP and who has quality and doesn't... You never know who THEY know or WHERE they will end up in the future. That is awesome for you. Feb 05 06 06:52 pm Link Rawk on! I was just on the Tyra show (though it hasn't aired yet), but not for modeling. It was fun anyway! Feb 05 06 08:28 pm Link NICE! Feb 05 06 08:31 pm Link YAY!!! Im so happy for you!!!! This is wonderful news!!!! Feb 05 06 08:33 pm Link Oh, excellent work!!! :-D Another score for the representation of models who do not fit the straight and narrow criteria of high fashion... thank you for working towards this, and even though I don't own a TV, it is encouraging to hear the market is loosening its silly standards. Sonntag Feb 05 06 08:36 pm Link Thank you so much for the good vibes, y'all, I really appreciate it. I don't know yet when the show will air, but as soon as I know I'll post it here! This has been such a good day. Happy sigh. You guys are great, thank you for the good wishes. I'll keep you posted! Feb 05 06 10:43 pm Link Congratulations! I'm a dude, but I really like Tyra's show, and watch it with my wife on ocassion (along with ANTM, DH, and Gilmore Girls--ok, I'm weird). See if they are willing to throw you into the credits at the end... can't hurt to ask, even if only for the extra bragging rights. Feb 05 06 11:40 pm Link congrats. will be watching Feb 06 06 12:27 am Link Congrats to you and Sasha!! I can't wait to watch. Feb 06 06 11:19 am Link That is GREAT! Not only will it get your work some publicity but you can list the Tyra show in your resume (if photogs even use those). Great picture! Candace Corey www.candacecorey.com Feb 06 06 12:43 pm Link congrats to you!!!!!! Feb 06 06 12:46 pm Link Richard Tallent wrote: They actually offered that, according to the model. (I'm still waiting for the paperwork to be faxed.) It'll probably be a nanosecond at the end, but woohoo nonetheless! Feb 06 06 01:18 pm Link Sita Mae Congrats to you...for sure. I know you deserve it. ....I'm still going to shoot with you in March, so be on the lookout. I am happy for you. Feb 06 06 01:32 pm Link couldn't have happened to a nicer photog...and seriously, thank you so much for representing those of us who fall outside the lines of industry standards...it seems like Tyra is taking more and more of an interest in plus models. I wonder if that will have any impact on ANTM? Feb 06 06 01:37 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: VCR? He should get a TiVo and then record it then burn it to a DVD. Then he should make copies and share it with all of us! Feb 06 06 02:09 pm Link Craig Thomson wrote: It's this prehistoric recording device. Not to date myself...but I remember them well.
