Deleting "Friends"
So a couple weeks ago, I went through and deleted certain images from my portfolio, then I made a round through my "friends" list and deleted a bunch of them too! Don't get me wrong, i'm not judging people i've never met. But if there's no benefit in being connected, then why add each other? After cleaning up my friends list, it was much easier to find people that i was looking for and my site was suddenly more "visually interesting". The remaining friends on my list are all artist that I admire for one reason or another and it represents who i'd like to work. Moral of the story... delete friends who arent your friends!

I periodically go through a delete my friends list of those that I do not think I will get to work with. Sep 13 06 12:24 pm Link I usually do a "house cleaning" on friends list as well. One's that we both started out emailing one another for shoots, and never happened, and after months and months of no contact with them, I just delete them. I keep the ones I've worked with, and some are on there, just because i like their work. I start with ones I want to work with...then I weed them out if no communication happens. Sep 13 06 12:26 pm Link they why accept them in the first place?

After awhile, the extra listings makes it redundent to have a friends list and a favorite list.

Thats why. Sep 13 06 12:46 pm Link I really enjoy looking at the pictures on this site. I like when I find somone who's style I really like and then they have a bunch of similar styled/interest friends that I can click on off their page. Sep 13 06 06:59 pm Link i thought this thread was finally going to tell us how to delete all of the unwanted freind requests at one time..... Sep 13 06 07:15 pm Link After returning to modeling, I decided to remove users that I haven't met in person or worked with from my friends' list. Staying in touch with people on my friends' list, I leave a note on their latest work. I can be either a cheerleader or a worst critic. If I truly appreciate someone's work, I would add her/him to my favorites. If I contact someone that I would kill to work with; I would be willing to travel to her/his home state for just a shoot. Probably, I would come for croissants too. LOL.  Sep 13 06 07:21 pm Link OK all of you are no longer my friends Sep 13 06 07:23 pm Link MalameelPhotography wrote: Both of your answers are well stated. Sep 13 06 07:32 pm Link |
