how low can a GWC go ?
Hey.... It's Vegas, baby!!! Vivaaaaa Las Vegas!!!!! May 01 06 05:20 pm Link The cardinal rule of Vegas - nothing is fo free! the guy - a visitor - is breaking the rules of Vegas and of decent photography. I have to start checking the travel schedule of MM phtogs for those dates! May 01 06 05:21 pm Link phcorcoran wrote: I go to Craigslist frequently, and I respond to some of the ads. But yeah, the posting anonymously thing is annoying. If they are as "safe and professional" as they claim to be, why is it necessary to hide their identity? Especially the so-called modeling agencies...lol. That's crazy when they post anonymously like that, because any legit modeling agency will WANT you to know their company name and won't hide behind some Craigslist anonymous e-mail address. Another thing I hate about the anonymous e-mail addresses is that because of Craiglist's file size limit, you have to go resize all the photos that you want to submit in your e-mails. That is a pain in the a$$, so I just e-mail the person and ask for a direct e-mail address I can send photos to...or e-mail them links to my MM and OMP page. Sometimes people are too lazy to click on the links, so they'll e-mail me back and be like "You can send photos to this e-mail address." LOL.

May 02 06 02:53 am Link Should I change my ad? I thought it was a fair trade  May 02 06 02:57 am Link BJFP has been standard fare for at least a couple of semi-well-known photographers. They proclaim loudly that they don't do TFP, because they're above all that. But if the model is willing to provide "services," the fee is waived. How often does this happen? Not very. But it's definitely out there. When the "offer" is made ahead of time, it's pretty easy for the model to reject. (Or accept, I guess.) At least the Craig's List guy was stating his wants/needs early on, and waiting for responses. Most of the propositions I've heard about are made to models when the photographer initiates the contact ... and gradually gets around to what his real plans are. So, y'all have fun with the GWC thing. But I'll tell ya, there are pros who demand more, much more. Maybe that's why they're pros. May 02 06 03:12 am Link hmmm I don't think I have been that disgusted in a long time!! twat!! May 02 06 03:18 am Link Uno, did you post that just to amuse us? May 02 06 03:28 am Link I guess I better hone up on my massage skills since I'll be shooting there this weekend. HAHA! I mean if this is standard payment for shoots then we'll have a little problem....

May 02 06 12:41 pm Link That is way funny! Max V. May 02 06 12:46 pm Link Rubs me the wrong way. May 02 06 02:02 pm Link Do you suppose I could go on craigslist and offer to trade photos for . . . . housekeeping? May 02 06 10:55 pm Link Actually, I've been asked that one....Not by a photographer, but by a "massage therapist" who wanted to trade me massage time for nude photos of the model I was shooting at the time. It was rather amusing, in a strange, and slightly creepy way May 03 06 12:07 am Link http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/ers/152322988.html http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/ers/151298549.html http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/ers/144602771.html I dont know if to call this trolling or fishing or just desperation!
