Why are you here, why do you stay?
What brought you to this site? I came here to find alternative lifestyle models for projects that land based agencies won't touch. I found a community that's mostly fun to interact with and I've been able to work with a number of talented people on my personal projects. So far it's been a pretty rewarding experience. I use this place as a marketing tool and a sounding board, I network and I posterbate to the point of addiction. What about you? Oct 04 06 07:55 am Link The same , and today I am not doing my dishes I have no excuse , pathetic yessss indeed LOL but there are some new purrdy pics in on my port today , and having creative input in them makes me happy... I am here to practice my typing skills as well , but I still type like poop. Some people complain , but others seem to understand I am a model... not a typist. I notice you live in Cairo...

So far I have hired a number of really good models from here and gotten some shots I am happy with. So far, so good. Oct 04 06 08:08 am Link ''Why are you here, why do you stay?'' I don't know. Originally, it was to network. Now.... This place is like a good drug. You know it could be bad for ya', you love it, you hate it, you keep going back. Oct 04 06 08:09 am Link I came because Chill Factor invited me....I stay because I dont have a real life..LOL Oct 04 06 08:14 am Link I thought you knew? They said sign here so I did? Its better than over there? Someone took my keys cause they thought I was the designated decoy? Oct 04 06 08:14 am Link I'm here because I'm a glutton for punishment. I stay because I'm an addict. Oct 04 06 08:18 am Link I came here as a way to show some of my work as I don't yet have a website. I stay mainly because I work alone and you people are the only ones I get to talk (type?) to all day (except for those annoying clients). It's quite sad if you think about it.

I try to take sabaticals from here to refresh the thought process. When I start alienating people thats usually a sign it's time to back off. Oh, also when I can't meet a dead line and use another excuse to tell the client why, I think that might also be time to back off.

How sad is it that I say more to you by typing than I do to here by talking. But here's the good part. I just learned something about lighting from looking at a portrait you did on your site. How do you beat that? Oct 04 06 08:25 am Link Dee wrote: I saw this cartoon on another thread, and everytime I see your avatar I want to get closer and do this. Is that sick or cute? Oct 04 06 08:28 am Link Bob Randall Photography wrote: I've been asking myself that a lot lately, too. Oct 04 06 08:28 am Link I came here when i was beginning modeling, to learn what i could... Now im here cause ive met some really good friends on this site, and it's a way to socialize and stay in touch. The occasional shoot works too. Oct 04 06 08:29 am Link Bob Randall Photography wrote: I can only assume that was how "not" to light something. :-) Oct 04 06 08:31 am Link Bob Randall Photography wrote: Doh ! I think i am guilty of that , i have missed work from being on mm too much , I am an independent contractor working for my self so it's not like a straight job, but it is my buisiness , so i scewed myself over ... Oct 04 06 08:41 am Link MMDesign wrote: Absolutely not. It was from a beautiful portrait that was lit in such a manner I had to look at it to understand and when It came to me I said "damn, why didn't I ever think of that". I'm always fighting myself and I have a hard time getting out of my own way. Oct 04 06 08:45 am Link If you posterbate too much, I heard you will go blind Bob!

Oct 04 06 08:50 am Link Bob Randall Photography wrote: Almost a year ago there was a model I was talking to and we talked about doing some shoots and she said I should sign up on modelmayhem (I was just really getting started with doing photography). Never did get to shoot with her lol But Ive gotten to meet a lot of people and shoot with quite a few models on here, and even recommended MM to some of the girls I've shot with. Oct 04 06 08:50 am Link Bob Randall Photography wrote: Thanks. Let me know sometime which one you're referring to. Oct 04 06 08:58 am Link Because my job is like a rusty steel bear trap around my ankle. I no longer have the strength to try and get out of it. And MM gives me something else to look at while the wound goes septic. (Happy thoughts, Bill. Happy thoughts!) Oct 04 06 09:00 am Link I like to watch bob posterbate .... lol Oct 04 06 09:02 am Link Good imagination, typing skills, hangin' out with the cool art kids, wow, it's living fiction with real people drivin' their own personae, another Internet challenge to old ideas about boundaries (some spell it like "foundries" ) , but it's a major time suck too, a perpetual 24/7/365 Left Bank Sunset Strip Washington Square . . . . More coffee, please. Oct 04 06 09:10 am Link I stay because I love to hear really "talented" photographers trash Alien Bee lighting systems and hear models complain about model releases. Oct 04 06 09:17 am Link I came cause I'm on my ass all day in front of this box. I find this site to be a good analgesic. I also like to try and use the word anal a lot in different contexts. Oct 04 06 09:19 am Link I came because a photographer friend (Viva) was kind enough to let us gals know about a cool new site where we could post alot of images for free. I stay because I like the thread Addie Jumper started about escorts. Oh, and they haven't voted me off the island yet...that's the main reason I'm here. Oct 04 06 09:23 am Link it's all part of my mission as a photographer detective. i'm searching for a clueless fashion model who is brainwashed to kill the prime minister of malaysia. --face reality Oct 04 06 09:24 am Link Kurt Fehlhauer wrote: Kurt, could you please turn out to be the girl in your avatar. It would make trashing any part of you so much kinkier. Oct 04 06 09:32 am Link I stay for the cookies Oct 04 06 09:36 am Link Why am I here? I often ask myself the same question!! I am not really a photographer of models more a photographer who will shoot the occasional model if requested, also I am living in England and the majority of people who use this site are based in the US so it is not really a great site for me to network with local people either. Yet I still come here everyday!!! Which brings up the next question of WHY? I guess for me itâs an entertainment thing, I just get caught up in reading the posts in the forums (the time just flyâs by) and you do get used to, and familiar with, the regulars on the site (as if they are friends down the local pub) although I must admit I do tend to read the threads where the likes of Bob Randall, W.G. Rowland, Face Reality and studio36uk have posted because they tend to be the more interesting and amusing posts. So all in all I guess I am just another sad photographer, with too much time on his hands who needs to get himself a life eh? Darren Oct 04 06 09:38 am Link i check in here to see why photographers don't like escorts. Oct 04 06 09:39 am Link Cary K wrote: I love cookies! And icecream too!!! Oct 04 06 09:48 am Link Kurt Fehlhauer wrote: See what I mean now about wanting you to be the girl in the avatar. I'm so tempted to tell you I love your cookies too because I think you are a beautiful blond woman with no top on. It's making me feel funny and a bit uncomfortable. Oct 04 06 09:55 am Link Why are you here, why do you stay? Read the TAG's on my page... the answer is there... Oct 04 06 09:59 am Link Look at work. See what others are doing. The drama.

Oct 04 06 10:31 am Link i was helping my friend's kid do a school paper on nuclear reactors and safety, we did a google search on meltdown and came across www.bobrandallmeltdown.com which had a link to model mayhem it was a pool type website, you pick a day they you think he's going to blow completley, and if he does on the day you pick, you win the pool.. the site folded when someone realized that when he did meltdown no-one would be able to tell the difference Oct 04 06 10:37 am Link |
