why do the best models live 1000 miles away ?
or is the grass greener on the other side. I long to go to SF to shoot. I know why! SF photogs want to come to Vegas to shoot. why? Familiar; "that model is so cool , I wish I lived there", yea , but I live here and I run like hell when I see her. I have never had a visiting model flake - maybe it's the expense of the trip - that causes visitors to be reliable. maybe local models flake because they can see you the next day, the next week. new name: location adultery - I want your model.

How she landed in a place like Pittsburgh Pensyl-tucky is beyond me. Jul 27 06 05:34 pm Link Goes both ways! Someone fly me out to CA!!

I can only afford to fly down there every once in a while, and I don't drive so it might as well be 1000 miles away...

Jul 27 06 07:18 pm Link Yeah, you got all that right! Why are, say, even half of the best photographers/jobs clear to one coast or the other? Jul 27 06 08:01 pm Link Why does everybody want to come to LA? We do movies here--not photographs. Jul 27 06 08:05 pm Link jade83 wrote: It's not a total disadvantage being in the midwest. The bright side is that you're never too terribly far from any of the major cities, so you can fly fairly inexpensively pretty much anywhere. Jul 27 06 08:09 pm Link Heck! Ya oughta live out here in the middle of nowhere. How many models on MM are listed in a 50 mile radius of your zip code? I find 21 on the search, and several of them have inactive profiles with no activity in months. Fortunately for me, the active ones are pretty great. :-) Jul 27 06 08:10 pm Link jade83 wrote: As a Brit an American friend once explained that the states in the middle were simply to hold the coasts together. Seemed logical to me. Jul 27 06 08:10 pm Link Brian Ziff wrote: In Adrienne's case, many of the best glamour photographers are in LA, so I don't blame her.

Jul 28 06 11:51 pm Link Mountain tops always look great in the distance, even when they are spewing. But what of the pebbles under our feet that makes it all possible...  Jul 28 06 11:53 pm Link Hey, I'm not that far.. I'm right here! ;-) Jul 28 06 11:54 pm Link Because what we want is going to be out of easy reach. The west wants the east and the east wants the west Jul 29 06 12:01 am Link We do it to torture you Unomundo......but some of have been known to travel......

Jul 29 06 12:08 am Link L.A. has Star, Ravenslaughter and several other art photographers I would die to work with. San Fran does as well. However, NYC has so much talent, when I have traveled the last year, I usually have gone there. I also go to Atlanta, am thinking about the Monterey Bay area, and TX and AZ have some good workshop photographers I would love to work with. Las Vegas has....Max V and Unomundo, but Max comes to Chicago a lot too.... Jul 29 06 12:08 am Link All this lusting after unavailable photographers is depressing me. This glass is half full! The glass is half full! Jul 29 06 12:13 am Link I'm convinced that lusting after far-away models and photographers is an essential part of the MM experience. Jul 29 06 12:15 am Link Haha Cinnamon - we all suffer - From Austin to San Fran or wherever else in CA or NY or IL are all the same distance - to farrrrrr  If it wasn't then I might be lucky enough to shoot with you for instance - some day .... maybe...Jul 29 06 12:21 am Link Lapis wrote: Monterrey is the lust of my lust.

Jul 29 06 03:52 am Link Yes there are some models Iâd like to shoot with, but at the present time, itâs not possible so weâll wait⦠Iâve shot with a couple of models that were visiting from other States to a few hundred miles away that contacted me before they arrived which was a pleasant surprise. As it stands, I have a very full plate shooting whatâs in front of me with 11 burlesque troupes and all the local bands I can handle, plus throw in the occasional fetish fashion show and see no end in sight.
