Video taping (and audio taping) without consent in against the law.  May have something to go on that one.

I think that is state by state.

In NY state,  I can record  a conversation as long as I am involved in the said conversation.  I can audio tape or video tape without sound but not both.

After reading both contracts for models, it appears like he screwed you on the paid modeling you did on your own after you worked with him.  What I would do is tell him that there were no paying modeling jobs and that I was waiting for him to find me those jobs he promised and never delivered due to the signed contract.  He would be responsible finding work.  Unless you keep track of all your records, receipts, pay stubs, 1099s, there is really no way of him knowing if you had any work.

exactly.. and i don't keep records, so ha! lol
Regardless, I am sure this is not the contract I signed, nor did I ever recieve a copy of the contract for my records, payment, or images. he said he would give me these things on my next visit, and for the past 2 years I have been trying to contact him to no avail.. he's an ass. he sent me this other e-mail trying to threaten me and saying that I shouldn't take him to court cuz he'll win- i'm pretty sure he's scared ;P
He's a loser.
And Say Cheez! Is AWESOME!!!

If so many people have problems with this GWC guy, why is he still on MM? Shouldn't he be removed or something?

GWC is an abreviation that means "Guy With Camera".  It's a phrase that recently came to fruition over the internet.

Typically a "GWC" is someone that knows nothing about photography and 'pretends' he's a photographer solely to meet pretty girls or see 'em get nekkid.

A 'GWC' should not be confused with an amateur or hobbiest.  Amateurs and hobbiests will usually admit that they're learning or tinkering.  A GWC will try to pass himself off as a pro.

There is a ModelMayhem member (#12835) called "GWC" which is a parody.  The (often hysterical) comments and photos that he displays are typically that of a true 'GWC'.

The GWC that Chaotika has written about has never been a member of MM.

So, check it out.. now he's claiming that I owe him money!

Dear Cynthia!
Hello and thanks for the quick reply. You must have been thinking of a different session than conducted by our staff. We pulled up your video file and the photographer was polite and courteous. You also agreed to complete this session without compensation.. In deference to your claim we have actually been attempting to contact you since your session. We wanted to forward your completed CD but your email was no longer active. Your current address has also changed and we have no record of you emailing or otherwise contacting us. Enclosed is a copy of the type of agreement signed by you. In this agreement as per Section III. you agreed to make payment of twenty percent {20%}as a referral fee for entering into a working relationship with any entity either referred or not referred by "Paris". Therefore all of your work since the signing of your agreement with "Pairs" is subject to the twenty percent {20%} referral fee. Therefore please provide a complete lists of all work assignments  you have completed since January 4, 2003 and the income you received from each opportunity. We are grateful that you decided to initiate contact with us and look forward to receiving your accrued payment in the next thirty days.
Thank you
Dr. Christopher
