Weeee! I must be high...
Sometimes I browse to find new models. I have noticed something that makes me wonder just how sober I am. You look at a new models portfolio full of web cam or personal snap shots. The model is not knock down hot or at least that you can tell by the snap shots, but her Tags tell you different. Tags that say "OMG you are so sexy" or "Fantastic look" or "Sexy, hot, total package" or my favorite "Great pics!!". You get the idea. Makes me wonder just how bad my are my eyes, or did my wife slip something in my tea? Are we as photographers so desperate for models that we will lie? I understand buttering someone up, but please let's watch the cholestoral. Ok end of my little rant. Mike Jun 29 05 10:16 am Link Posted by Mike Cummings: Wow!

I know Mike did not even give us a link to the hotties. Jun 29 05 10:30 am Link Posted by Mike Cummings: not all, but some for sure.. Jun 29 05 10:33 am Link I've noticed that too. I haven't paid enough attention to see if its just GWC's or the vast majority or the community doing it though.

I know Mike did not even give us a link to the hotties. A link would be nice! Jun 29 05 10:47 am Link Posted by Doug Swinskey: Posted by Mike Cummings: not all, but some for sure.. Well, I am a pretty sarcastic guy sometimes.... Jun 29 05 10:48 am Link Then at least put the sarcasm in tags blah blah, you are hottt!!! This way the web cammers will know.

Well, I am a pretty sarcastic guy sometimes.... Jun 29 05 11:14 am Link If a model has a webcam pic, that just means she's a new face. It gets old working with the same cirlce of models everyone else is working with. Jun 29 05 11:17 am Link Youre talking about me arent you *cries* Im NEW...but hopefully after the weekend I wont have my oh so sexy web cam pics Its just kinda hard when you dont own a digital camera and having someone who takes crappy head-cut-off pictures doesnt cut it either. Oh well gotta start with something...I guess. Jun 29 05 02:21 pm Link what I noticed were the new onslaught of photographer shots which don't even qualify as GWC shots. I mean these are, if possible, worse. At first I thought maybe it was a bunch of folks trying to pose fake satirical accounts but I actually think they're real.... Jun 29 05 02:30 pm Link I notice many of the overzealous tags are not from people who normally post in the shoutbox or forums, I don't know these people, and I'm thinking their tags are quickly followed with scam messages. Jun 29 05 02:44 pm Link I Love girls web cam self shots!!! They can still be fascinating in their honesty and simplicity :-) Keep them coming :-) Jun 29 05 03:55 pm Link why webcam at all, you can get disposable digital cameras now... Jun 29 05 04:06 pm Link I go to JC Penny and get free shots and then pick an 8 x 10. I saw it advertised on here passing by. Loved it. Two thumbs up with a twirl. Loved it. Jun 29 05 05:34 pm Link I didn't want to be a model...but some photographers held me down and took professional pics of me for free after seeing me at a gallery show...then I got turned onto the OTHER modelling site and BAM! hooked. The aspiring models with webcam pics, understandable, if they truly have no access to any better camera? But the photographers with webcam pics...now that is scary. Jun 29 05 07:00 pm Link GWWC..oh great just what we need!! Posted by Lapis: Jun 29 05 07:08 pm Link Tyler!!!!!?? Speakin of a real high we hit the 420 user mark today now thats a Real High (:--- Jun 29 05 07:08 pm Link Posted by Hugh Jorgen: at 4:20 on the East Jun 29 05 07:13 pm Link Posted by KM von Seidl: Some are real and some are listed as Pro (with the APA, etc) who haven't yet attempted the learning curve on how to prep images for web display. Funny how these guys get lumped by others as GWCs. But, I help them out when I can. Jun 29 05 07:32 pm Link Well there's also the fact that there are a lot of people a clue or two short... Jun 30 05 06:16 am Link i think it's great when you see a web cam portfolio and it says, "my rates are...." RATES... are you kidding me... Jun 30 05 03:15 pm Link Posted by Doug Swinskey: Posted by Mike Cummings: not all, but some for sure.. DAMN!! I knew it was never a good idea to drink tequila and then surf the profiles!! *I am full of shame*.. Jun 30 05 03:22 pm Link Posted by Mike Cummings: Mike it's called the "internet optical illusion" commonly caused by several hours sitting infront of a computer looking at internet porn. I have heard it's on the rise as the leading cause in "GWC," a new social disorder which is becoming second only to sex related crimes. Jun 30 05 03:56 pm Link well, there are some sites that only let you upload pictures that are "portfolio quality." I'm not sure what i feel about that, since you can't be just starting out to join, but it also keeps down scammers and the really crappy GWCs. Jul 01 05 06:01 am Link Posted by Moonlightflame: Who decides what goes in? They may draw the line at thier own skill and nobody below that gets in or worse they may not let people in that are better than they are. Jul 05 05 02:15 am Link Speaking of webcam pics on portfolios on this site. Is there a way to prove the person is legit? There are a few profiles I have seen with webcam pics of girls I have seen on many forums and message boards. How do we know thats the real person? Jul 05 05 02:24 am Link Posted by MichaelBell: You don't until you meet them. Jul 05 05 02:27 am Link Posted by MichaelBell: Why does it matter? Jul 05 05 10:01 am Link I agree with the whole "portfolio quality" photos. And while webcam photos can be honest, what does it take to get a disposible camera and a friend and try to take some not so fuzzy & bad lighting pictures? (My 2 cents!) Regarding the "good work" tags... maybe the taggers are just trying to be nice/polite and encouraging? Jul 05 05 11:58 am Link |
