i was telling about the way the model ask about not be be taken with a digital camera and not into a house studio that all

Of course. In addition to being smart and beautiful. She's a giver

I see where you're going with this statement, but the destination wasn't exactly reached. Kate's a moron? Why? Becaue she's a druggie? True enough, but when she takes photos you'd never know. Hell you wouldn't know now if it weren't plastered all over newspapers and magazines. Kate's not an unintelligent person. She's actually pretty genius, if you want to look at it from a professional view, maybe not much as a health one. I mean, she's a druggie and the best designers on the planet still pay her millions to sell their clothing. Why? Because she's an ESTABLISHED model who happens to do drugs. Naomi didn't tell reporters the day she was discovered "I'm not getting out of bed for less than 10,000 dollars a day." She said AFTER she became established. Even to this day, she rudely shows up hours late to a set. But guess what? Irritated and pissed off as the crew may be, they wait on her. (Not that it's all bad for them, they're getting paid to wait, but you get the gist...) But like I said beforehand, I agree with your overall comment. Back to my Merlot now! :-)

Yeah, I did say she's one of the best out there. But being a fantastic model doesn't make her intelligent. She's simply not.

Um, smart?

May I ask why you think she's not intelligent?

It is very slow right now. Thankfully all the tourists are gone, so it's very quiet also. The beach is covered with colored leaves, and the fresh air from the lake is sooo sweet. I took a walk on the beach earlier. It's just the way I like it after flying home from a hectic week of work. The colors here are spectacular right now!!!

Hang out and keep you company? Hmmmm. Why? are you lonely? I like to hang with people who see the good in others - not the negative (using your OP as an example) - so I'll pass on the offer. Thanks anyway.

Yes, I'm...sooo...lonely!

OOhhh!

Kate Moss is hot!

Gee, maybe because she snorts drugs all the time.

Also this: "She was not noted for her academic success..... she gained one C (in Science) and all the rest were Ds, Es, and Us at GCSE level."

I was just asking you a question. That is already revelant, I thought you may have had some insight on something else, that's all. Like perhaps you knew her, worked with her, etc.

See the edit I just made to my previous post. Wasn't hard to find the info, all I did was google her name.

Yeah, true. Drugs are probably more accessible to them than make-up on some accounts. How can't everyone just drink wine or tequila like I do?? :p

I totally agree - everyone uses digital now.  Plenty of good home studios.

Wrong, some of us don't. Old fashioned guys like me still use film. As for the home studio, there are plenty of good ones out there.

As Bill Hicks would say, I think pot should be mandatory. Maybe it would calm her down a little. ha

And why do you care what a new and inexperienced model thinks?

Dang. Tough crowd. Why is it so many forum posts turn into an condemnation of the OP's initial question/comment? Isn't the point of a forum to express your opinion, ask a question, vent, etc? Oh I forgot...to get a t-shirt too lol.

Of course the OP starts a post, saying something (usually).  And then depending on if people agree or disagree with the OP, the thread develops.  I don't understand why OP gives a shit what a newbie model thinks of his setup.

Michael Pandolfo wrote:
Maybe he cares what a new and inexperienced model documents in her profile or says because even the most inexperienced model or photographer is a part of the industry and is therefore a reflection of the profession (or hobby) we love and care about?

I shoot in my home.  I can't afford lots of lights and swank gear, I'm definately a photographer who is affected by the model only wanting to shoot at Smashbox.   I even warn prospective models now, that I shoot with cameras that might appear to be "toys" to them and be sure there's not going to be any attitude--if there is, that's another model off my list.

But to me, a wannabe model thinking that a photographer is defined by his studio isn't something for me to get worked over.   I'm FAR more concerned with the fact that seemingly over 50% of the MM thread posts involve the perception of photographer as ....serial killer, pervert, rapist, sadist, perpetrator, scam artist, lowlife, fraud, and the like.

Like Richard Prior was "hot" when he set himself on fire freebasing.

Hey, dude, got a light? Maybe a little off the sleeve? ROTFLMAO

Not worrying necessarily.

Just slightly annoyed at the phrasing.

Some very cool shots in my port are from home studios....

Those who know don't mind....

Most of the United States, and parts of Europe.

It has a big ol huge light.

And all kinds of interesting backdrops.

Even waterfalls. Mountains. Stuff like that, hard to get indoors.

I envy you.
