put a model in her place

We guess, make judgments and throw metaphorical dart at a dart board when it come to the human brain. If it is a material issue, chemical imbalance etc that is one thing but as for behavior it is a crap shoot. My final conclusions is; most people will never get well if they do nto want to. It is like saying I am not an alcoholic, I just drink too much! Jun 02 06 06:34 pm Link Not very good PR for you.....you know ''it's a small world'' and 50% of us have heard of , or worked with each other or know someone who has, don't screw up your rept. Jun 02 06 06:38 pm Link What pushed you over the edge? Funny story but email text can seem pretty harsh even if you're trying to be nice. I guess you won't be working with her? Jun 02 06 06:40 pm Link what snapped? And what is your point? .... and if you dont really care, why bother to post at all? Jun 02 06 06:41 pm Link A model's place is in front of a camera. Looks like you failed miserably to do that. Jun 02 06 06:45 pm Link The model/photographer dialectic is tricky and often treacherous. That said, I always try to err on the side of niceness with models...even in i'm totally pissed off. Jun 02 06 06:52 pm Link Okay, let me understand this. She asked to see samples of your work and you flipped out? For God's sake, why??? What the hell did she do wrong by asking to see samples of your work. Maybe she just wanted to find out if you were the type of photographer she would want to work with or if you were a sleaze merchant (like me ![]() Son, I think you not only burned bridges with her, but every model that's read this thread. Take a few pills, see a psychiatrist, get laid--do something. Just relax. Asking to see samples of your work ain't that deep. Jun 02 06 06:57 pm Link Nemi wrote: Smarmy asshole... LMFAO!!

Jun 02 06 07:26 pm Link I skipped everyone's replies after reading the first few...I wanted to see if the OP had the balls to come back...I guess not. Jun 02 06 07:27 pm Link The funny thing is that I don't see all that much drama. We've got the OP on one side, and the rest of the world on the other. ![]() Jun 02 06 07:27 pm Link What a total bitch! Wanting to see samples of your work? How dare she! I did note on your profile that you ask for TFP and are looking for someone to grow with, or words to that effect. "She ended up calling me a jackass." Ummm, maybe she was right? Most photographers I know are eager to show samples of their work and do so at the drop of a hat, esp with a potential free model. Jun 02 06 07:30 pm Link Nemi wrote: I'm gonna have to agree here. Jun 02 06 07:32 pm Link theda wrote: Can I get a cookie too? I haven't been mean to any models, but I don't have any cookies in my house, either, and I could really go for one. Jun 02 06 07:34 pm Link A photog would want to see a model's stuff right before working with her? At least a polaroid. Why would not the rules apply both ways? Jun 02 06 07:34 pm Link I'm always down for some chocolate chip. ![]() Jun 02 06 07:36 pm Link I do have Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream (Ben & Jerry's) in the house. I should go have a bowl.

Jun 02 06 07:38 pm Link . âYou expect an experience photographer to carry equipment around the hot city all weekend; taken photos of your STUPID ASS. ............... She ended up calling me a jackass. Looks like she was only talking to you -using your own language .....

Jun 02 06 07:39 pm Link Dude, here's a tampon and some midol. Looks like you need it more than I do. The girl posted a casting call wanting a tfp/tfcd photographer, and you responded to her casting call. She had every right to ask to see your work. I wouldn't want to shoot with a photographer without seeing what he can do, so why do you think she would? If you didn't want to shoot with her, you should have let her know in a bit nicer way, instead of making it seem like she was just out to get free photos. Models have expenses, too, you know. If you didn't give a shite about the whole thing, why are you posting this in the first place? If I were the model in question getting a reply like that, I'd tell you I didn't care if you were friggin' Ghandi, and that with an attitude like that, it's going to be VERY difficult to find models willing to work with you. Then again, I can be a real "b" sometimes... Jun 02 06 09:34 pm Link Hey, if you did not want to do a TFP shoot, why did you respond to the ad? Do you really expect for a model to want to shoot with you without even seeing your work?? Jun 02 06 09:41 pm Link I think the OP already realized his response was asshole-ish "something snapped". I dunno I found it very funny. Jun 02 06 09:43 pm Link My original post seems to have hit a nerve with a lot of people, especially the female models, no big surprise there âI know this is going to start a lot of dramaâ?... What did surprise was that some people took my posting personally as if I was speaking directly to them. And in return, attacked me. Iâve heard of people thinking the guy in the TV was talking directly to them, but damn. So anywayâ¦.. I was sitting here reading all of this and thought to myself. Would I be wrong if struck back at them on a personal level, like they did to me? I mean anything I say will be twisted to make me the bad guy anyway... Someone said âwait where is the link to your high quality photography" Would I be wrong if I told her Iâve seen blind kids that figure paint better than she can take a photograph? Someone else said I was âBorderline, Histrionic, Narcissistic, Schizotypalâ? âMaybe he was breastfed for too longâ? Hmmm a nude model with a PHD in psychology, now thatâs something you donât see everyday. LOL Would I be wrong if I ask her what makes her pose nude so much? Is it because daddy didnât pay her enough attention as a little girl? Or did he pay her too much? It doesnât take âFreudâ? to figure out this chick has got some issues. The 5,484 post in least than 14 months is a dead give away. One chick said âI don't have a bad eye and my ass isn't all that stupidâ? Question: WHOâ¦.INâ¦.THEâ¦.HELLâ¦WASâ¦.TALKINGâ¦TOâ¦.YOU? Where in MY original posting does your name show up?? And then thereâs the one eye photographer LMAO. Iâm going to give him a pass. Thereâs the model who said âDude, here's a tampon and some midolâ? I really want to make fun of her. I really do, but something tells me people have been laughing at her for a long time. No need for me to add to it. Anyway these are just some of the thoughts that went threw my head Maybe I should be a comedian, this shit is funny. I have a funny felling a lot of people are going to want to play nice after this. Jun 03 06 02:52 am Link Well, I'm not going to want to play nice with you. There again, I can be as big an asshole as the next guy. First off, learn how to spell. Your STUPID, uneducated, misspelled posts give me a headache. " I have a funny felling"? What the hell's that? You fall down a lot? Maybe you got dropped on your head as a kid. Could explain your rampant STUPIDity. You've told us repeatedly that you don't give a s--t, and yet here you are trying to defend the undefendable. You deserve to never have another model work for you for the rest of your life with the attitude you have.

Now, instead of getting mad about what I just said, or laughing your ass off, hopefully you will read on... Digital M A G I C wrote: I read through this entire thread as well. And I find it interesting that your choice was to flame people instead of making any valid points to those who were just generally confused by your extreme reaction. Maybe you don't think the people replying are "worth your time", but then why post this here in the first place? Maybe you SHOULD try to be a comedian, because you sure aren't going to get much work after choosing to "strike back" on this thread. Now, my recommendation would be to answer the general question people have for you... "What made you snap?" Jun 03 06 08:14 am Link Sounds to me like she dodged a bullet by not working with you. Jun 03 06 08:22 am Link photowoody wrote: Uh....too late. Jun 03 06 08:29 am Link BTW, I think I'll do an impersonation of this jackass. "Yeah, I bees cool. I tell it like I fell. F not agree wit me I fell you STUPID so make funny of you. I should be a comedian bee cause I ain't no photog." I'll be this guy doesn't know the difference between a digital camera and a film camera. Hell, he probably doesn't even know what film is!

Jun 03 06 09:17 am Link Digital M A G I C wrote: Wow...you should just give up...right now...you should remove all your photos and ask a mod to delete your profile...because I can safely assure you that any model who's seen this will have no interest in working with you. With this post you have proven yourself to be a prime candidate for the "World's Biggest Asshole" contest. For someone who doesn't give a shit, you sure seem to. And by the way...TFP is something both photographer and model are supposed to benefit from, so it kind of makes sense for her to want to make sure that the photographers contacting her are worth shooting with. You wouldn't do TFP with an ugly chick, well a model's not going to do TFP with a shit photographer. Jun 03 06 09:37 am Link |
