Photographers with out a phone number ???
why have to turn your phone off after midnight? If there's an emergency and someone is trying to reach you then what? Feb 26 06 02:31 pm Link I'm not big on lots of emails exchanges. The studio line is public listed so if im not there the voice mail and caller ID works fine with me. Feb 26 06 02:42 pm Link Phone, who needs a phone. theda gave me a special padded helmet for the short bus. I had it upgraded to enable telapathic abilities to control my computer and let people contact me. Phone? Phone? That is so old and done. Feb 26 06 02:42 pm Link PQ Photo wrote: Precisely. I usually give my number once I think someone is serious a shoot/shoot discussion. They have to figure out how to send or respond to a message/email first though. No use in having my minutes wasted by randoms. Feb 26 06 02:58 pm Link Janira Martinez wrote: That's a little bit different. Feb 26 06 02:59 pm Link I've had my phone number listed on my website for about 4 years now. In that time, I have had 3 weirdo calls. Not a big deal if you ask me. If someone talks weird, I have the option to just hang up on them. Feb 26 06 03:03 pm Link Because the sales calls and texts skyrocketed when I did have my number on my site. Because people called me to see if I could shoot them having intercourse with others. Caller ID doesn't tell me if a caller is either of the above. I'll always be selective with who I give my number to. I have the right to, and will gladly suffer the consequences of not having my number on the internet. Feb 27 06 11:50 am Link I'd so much rather speak to someone on the phone than e-mail back and forth for a week trying to get a sense of what they're like. I do get more crap calls, but it really doesn't take more than 25 seconds out of any given day so I figure it's worth it. Feb 27 06 11:56 am Link A phone number? lol No way.... I like to keep things on email for proof we said and talked about certain things. I had one guy set up a shoot then just cancel- basically drop off the face of the earth......months later he gets back at me asking me to shoot with him blah blah blah and I told him I would not work with him because of him being rude and he denied it until I sent him his emails. Another model had me confused with another photog....... she though she was chatting with me when in fact she and I never ever chatted. On a cell phone things are said and promised and also things can be twisted around and forgotten. Those close to working with me get the number..... not gonna be on my sites for sure though :-) Cheers- David Feb 27 06 12:04 pm Link On my busness jewelry site I have my number posted on my modeling site I do not. I usally give out my phone number after an email or two. I see no reason to post it for modeling right now. If you can see my email on the internet you have internet and you can email me first. I get enough weirdos following after me in person Feb 27 06 09:15 pm Link My cell is listed.............no one calls it............. I'd rather use email, have a record of what's been agreed to. Feb 27 06 09:23 pm Link Mike Jones give his out in every song so........ 714 319 7022 KARLOS MATTHEWS ! (ok I admit its shameless advertising but so what) Feb 27 06 09:31 pm Link KARLOS MATTHEWS wrote: Oh, yeah? I can be shameless, too! Watch this! Feb 27 06 09:37 pm Link I dont list my number here, as I feel it is on a need to know basis, and anybody I contact or that contacts me, needs to know it, but those morons that like to troll these sites looking for stuff like that just to bug people, dont need to know it, I am also listed in the phone book, white and yellow pages, my number is also on my site. Feb 27 06 09:50 pm Link XposurePhoto wrote: In my profile , I put "Models MUST provide a contact number for consideration as I am willing to provide mine.". I get emails . When I reply back, I'll give my phone number out and say , call me. Most of the time they don't . Maybe this is a good way to say I'm not interested in working with you Feb 27 06 09:51 pm Link |
