I think that a person with snapshots in their "portfolio" saying "Your photography is just like anyone else's" is worth chuckling at

Not really...this happens all the time.
Two days ago I got an email offering me a special 15% off if I ever decide I want to get real pictures from a real photographer.

I laughed yes, but did I make a thread about it?....No.

Both sides were being snide........
Let those who do TFP/TFCD work work with those who do and not bother those who don't, but neither side deserves a "holier than thou" act (you didn't say that the model didn't have any professional portfolio at all) it is sort of interesting that specifically the model changes her attitude, why not just say, oh, I can't afford to hire a photographer or I was looking for a TFP/TFCD photographer, and my opinion of this depends on whether the photographer made any rude remarks about the model other than he would be willing to work with her paid but not TFP/TFCD.....

the whole thing is farcical, and I can't believe that I'm using up sleeping time writing this....

Yep.
I think my response was on the cranky side too....sorry.
Why don't we both call it a night?

I'm with you.

Well, not WITH you...but yeah, lets do the head to pillow thing.  :-)

Your portfolio is far from being a set of snapshots. I would hope that you could just consider the source and walk away holding your head up as if you never met them/her.

It’s just as if someone cut you off in traffic, would you chase them down and scold them or wait till you were with a group of your friends to share the tale of the ill driver that you met?

I got a similar response yesterday from a mode I wanted to work with, so I thanked her for her time and went on about my business, wiser from the information I now have about her point of view on modeling.

Alrighty...night night.
Dream about kittens, puppies, and models that aren't postal.

Hey, Bill! Please spread the word in among your fellow New Jersyeiaaenes (or whatver you are called) traveling through my beloved Washington, DC area: all lanes here are for passing and cruising so if you get behind someone in the left lane and flicker your lights - you are the jerk. We would appreciate you not flashing your lights.


Likewise - give us a break on the turnpike until like exit 5-6 to catch on. After like exit 8 we can certainly be called jerks.
