good call. most models would have no idea what any of it means anyways and that's who their audience is supposed to be right? so if they do put it on their profile then they are trying to impress other photographers. or maybe by speaking a bunch of mumbo jumbo that most models wont understand they really sound professional instead of a GWC

You're right... really, who cares. Everyone knows it's the flash that really matters... I use an sb800... you'd know that if you read my bio... it's there right after the type of tripod I use.

Sorry, I'm a little delirious right now.  It wasn't a personal attack or anything, I was just pointing out the natural MM thread flow: OP says "why do people do this?  That's stupid!"  And within the next five or ten posts, someone says "I do that" or "I don't think it's stupid."  Usually it leads to a long argument with other parties joining in, but this is a little less serious.  wink.

Fold in half, place each index finger aproxx. at the halfway point along the any axis and tear a small half circle area about the size of a quater away from this section of the 4 in. whole.
Use 4 inch sq. as instructed by station owner guidelines and then use the section torn out to clean under your nail. Dispose of both sections of said papers as per the osha required guidelines posted to your rite upon the wall.

Because they have little else going for them?  I don't know. Funnier still when guys document the lens, shutter speed and aperture from an image.

With all due respect...what do you prefer a huge circle jerk?  This is a forum, what to expect are opposing opinions on EVERYTHING...on all forums...EVERYWHERE!

I am ashamed of my camera.. its silver and everyone knows to take really great photographs you need a black camera (also known as the higher contrast model)

I am so embarrassed that I never even let the models see the camera, for all they know im just standing behind the key light making shutter noises with my mouth, and holding out a lens that I bought at a garage sale for 4 bucks.

>.< dang it.. i swore i would never let my secrets out and now there they are for all to see..  oh well

With all due respect in return, I haven't said anything was wrong with it, so I don't really understand why you asked that question.  But to answer it, no.  Circle jerks are gross and I'm not invited, anyway.

To go back to the original question, I think they do it because they assume people think they're serious and/or professional if they show that they have a good, expensive digital camera or they're just proud of what they own. It's bogus, but hey, let them.

It may bug me, but so does all the talk about creating art etc. when all I see is a bunch of snapshots or images like mine (and I don't pretend to shoot art).

Perhaps listing equipment is to compensate for the lack of quality in a portfolio, sort of like middle age guys in Corvettes.....
