Daniel ella wrote: Accredited? With whom? Who "accredits" talent scouts? Is there some standard they must meet in order to obtain "accredited" status? Not to mention, why is a modeling/photography portal staying abreast of "e-tech in fashion" (whatever that is)? Shouldn't they be staying abreast of modeling and photography? Daniel ella wrote: You found me worthy? Why thank you, Daniel. I didn't think I was worthy, but now that you have validated me, I'm ready to jump in with both feet! Daniel ella wrote: Captivating? Hmm, it takes quite a portfolio to "captivate" someone. I mean, doesn't this imply they'd be spellbound? Mesmerized? And all this by some photos... Aug 19 06 08:09 am Link I got spammed yesterday with similiar emails, but they came to my personal email. The only issue i have is i usualy get 3-10 emails a day form friends or relatives and yesterday when i checked i had close to 400 and non were from friends or family. The night before i gave my personal email to a model to contact me for a shoot, thru the email system here on MM. The only time i gave out my emial that way and the only time i have ever been spammed like that. Aug 19 06 08:14 am Link |
