respect
Just wondering if others have left comments, tags or friend requests, and not have the respect returned. Have others have sent out emails, for a request to work with models, MUP artists or photographers, and not received an email back. I have not seen this discussed yet, and thought it was a good topic. Jul 29 06 01:17 am Link I have.... it's happening to me now!! lol it is a problem but I just think their really busy. But you know how on the side under your name with the message you can tell if the person you sent a message to has read your message? Well I have messages in my inbox I know have been read..... whats up with that? I mean a little yes or no or go to hell would suffice!! lol Jul 29 06 01:38 am Link CREATIVE EYE MEDIA wrote: I don't think there's an obligation to tag or comment back.

I can understand why it's vexing, but I figure if someone doesn't respond to a request to work together, what I do doesn't move them and they'd just rather not. Particularly if a given model or makeup artist is in high demand, they probably don't have time to spend on all the no thank yous they'd have to send out. I dunno...I'm not in that kind of demand, I can't really imagine what it's like. Jul 29 06 01:49 am Link CREATIVE EYE MEDIA wrote: I give out comments, tags, and friend requests freely. I have no expectations for anything in return. To have such expectations, I believe, would be disingenuous. Jul 29 06 02:51 am Link I give comments and tags sparingly, and in replies on that arena as well. But I have always responded to my MM mail --- professional discussions or friendly chats.

Still, I get requests from people I don't know, and yes, I ignore them. Further, I don't feel obligated to return a tag or a comment from anyone who tags or leaves a comment for me. Comment and/or tag my work if it inspires you to do so, and I will do the same. Heck, I don't even visit everyone who tags/comments me. I don't have that much time on my hands. I will, however, strive to return e-mails, even when the reply is "no, thank you". I don't see why not returning unsolicited tags/comments is disrespectful. Jul 29 06 09:22 am Link I have work to give an can't get makeup artists to reply to my e-mails. I have no idea why people would put up images saying they want to work and not contact a photographer that shows interest. It's very frustrating. So, any makeup artists in the Baltimore/Baltimore County/ Harford County area who want to work...contact me! Amy Jones amyjphoto.com Jul 29 06 09:25 am Link Tags and Comments? Pft! I don't even read them most days Friend requests...sorry...not unless I've worked with you/met you MM Mail or real email - will be replied to promptly whether I like the idea or don't like the idea. That is real communication with an obvious needed response. Jul 29 06 09:42 am Link |
