Dec 08 06 10:50 pm Link It's so easy, just like any other market.... No pics in port = failed "self-validation" = no more modeling Yes pics in port = growing "self-esteem" = possible modeling career if she is persistent enough BTW do photogs self-validate themselves by being accepted and begged for a shoot by most of the models ?

Also there are many people who act in theater productions at community theaters across the USA. We do these artistic endeavors because we want to! Some of us actually make some sort of money at these activities. How many of us are going to be the next top model, hot photographer, American Idol sensation, or big screen movie star? Not many! But there is nothing wrong with "validation" while having fun ... and maybe even making a decent income! I would be shooting models with my cameras regardless of making money or not ... oh shit! That's "TFP/TFCD!"  Ok, I do actually make an income at this thing called photography, but I'm not loaded with money .. at least not yet! Best wishes everyone!

I model to make some extra money and people telling you that you are beautiful sure beats the hell out of folding clothes at Abercrombie.
