Meaning, (A). if you want it good and fast, it won't be cheap. (B). if you want it good and cheap, it won't be fast. and (C). if you want it fast and cheap, it won't be good. Still applies today.

"Mr. Steichen," she asked, "What would you recommend my son do? He wants to be a photographer." Steichen was barely able to raise his head from the pillow and he uttered, "Don't send him to school!"

I was talking to a new model (to me at least) and setting up the protocol for a shoot. The quote was - "a robe? why would I need that?" When discussing outdoor nudes and camera/pose changes/setup. It made it so easy to know ahead of time, that the model was unconcerned about working nude and was relaxed about working with me. It was one less thing to fret about. - VintageV Jul 02 06 11:16 pm Link Under-boobage... The new cleavage. Yeah, I said it. Jul 02 06 11:19 pm Link After several frames and still not getting the look I wanted, trying to get a young model to truely understand what I mean by 'the look of surprise', I said, "Ok, remember when you saw your first large penis?", she said, "Oh yea, now I get it." Jul 02 06 11:23 pm Link Richard Nilsen said this of Barry Goldwater in the Arizona Republic: Through much of his life, Barry Goldwater was an avid amateur photographer. It was a hobby he took seriously and he managed, before his death, to leave behind more than 15,000 photographs, given to three different Arizona institutions. It was a legacy he once called his ''last will and testament to my love for my native state.'' Most of those pictures were of Arizona and its people, and a large portion of them were of the state's native people, for whom Goldwater felt a special affection. advertisement ''I photographed every tribe, and they're damn good people,'' he once said, in his typically salty style. ''I like them.'' During his lifetime, he managed to mix political life with his hobbies, including photography, aviation and ham radio. His photographs were shown in more than 250 exhibits in the United States and Europe and graced the pages of Arizona Highways magazine nearly 200 times, beginning in 1939. The Royal Photographic Society of London even elected him to membership. Jul 02 06 11:28 pm Link This is my BF, he brought his camera, he is going to take some photos too....OK?

"Sure, no problem." Jul 03 06 09:35 am Link "I usually charge for this type of thing but since it's your birthday ..." Jul 03 06 09:41 am Link I had a beautiful model say to me after being late to the shoot " traffic was like strawberrys " I wish I asked her what the hell she ment by that.
