Why so many great artistic-nude models in Ohio?
Why are there so many great models from Ohio that will do artistic nudes? I'm in Illinois and seens very different. I have a project in mind along the lines of some surrealist painters that will require a few nudes (actually 2.5 nudes out of 7 models). Just noticed a big difference in the two states. I don't think anyone even lives in Indiana. Oct 27 06 11:31 am Link Oct 27 06 11:37 am Link I was born and raised in Michigan. No one from Ohio even acknowledges that I exist. Oct 27 06 11:47 am Link It's in the water. Or something. Oct 27 06 11:47 am Link Eric, I think your work is great, but back to your comment. Just try to get them to respond to you. That's the trick my friend. Oct 27 06 11:50 am Link Model Sarah wrote: Sarah, Please send water! Oct 27 06 12:02 pm Link Couldn't tell ya but we rock, don't we? N.

There used to be several dance studios in the area started by former Illinois dance students, start there and network out. Oct 27 06 02:24 pm Link RStephenT wrote: Thanks. Great ideas. Any suggestions on how to go about asking them. I can just hear me saying, "Does anyone want to pose for artistic nudes?" How did you do it?

But if you are like William and I and can't we share/understand the problem. We live in Ohio and it seems that all most of them want is money. Oct 28 06 07:14 am Link Captured Live, I may have to try that. Lets see. Cards, $20. Hopital bill when my wife finds them, $200. Expression on my face just before the frying pan hits me, Priceless. Oct 28 06 07:29 am Link What else is there to do in Ohio? Sit on your ass and do nothing, or pose for nude pictures. I think that's the only two options. Oct 28 06 07:31 am Link Linda, money makes the world go round, right? But you are right and I shall offer. Thanks. Oct 28 06 07:54 am Link IllusionDigital wrote: LMAO! I got it. Even if no one else did. ;-) Oct 28 06 08:09 am Link Ok, draw me a picture. Oct 28 06 08:26 am Link What else is there to do in Ohio? Oct 28 06 08:29 am Link Because Ohio is a statiscally cross-section of America. Oct 28 06 11:24 am Link Illinois must be the under-section of America.

I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot by saying if the photographer offers up front to pay me, I'm not going to turn it down but if it's a concept I wanna do and work I like then usually I'll do it for fun if it's local. Gas is too expensive to travel all over and not ask for mileage tho'.

Home is where your heart is...better than somewhere like Oklahoma. Donât knock it till you try it. Oct 28 06 01:42 pm Link I grew up in the Air Force all over the place. We were even stuck in Rantoul, Illinois for 18 months. Somehow I ended up back here. Not sure home is always were the heart is. Nonetheless this is were I am. Again, thanks for all the responses. Just couldn't resist after all the travel notices of models going to Chicago from Ohio. If only I were a little closer to Chicago. Oct 28 06 04:07 pm Link Eric5312 wrote: Do what I do.

There are a lot of good photographers that are not in Toledo but no one will work with them because they don't offer money, just TFCD. Gas money is still getting paid. Especially when you may only need 10 or 20 for gas and ask twice that. Oct 29 06 06:22 am Link KaoS GRaFFiX wrote: Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Oct 29 06 06:27 am Link There are lots of thiings to do in OH but like any where else there is more in some areas then others. Northwestern ohio (BFE) can get pretty boring. We usually have to drive a 1/2 hour or more to get to the fun. Oct 29 06 06:28 am Link It isn't just the water, hell we grow our own crops here too. A bit o hard work in the gene pool makes great people! Nov 02 06 09:57 am Link That, and we import. Nov 02 06 09:58 am Link |
