OFFICIALLY sick of it ALL!!! models that cancel
OFFICIALLY sick of it ALL!!! models that cancel - 3 free tests this week no one shows, strip the hot shoe connector for a speedlight soft box and they dont sell the $2 replacement solo or Calumet just didnt carry it and all the Israelites (at B&H,Adorama)have gone home for Friday Can't get any interested in paying me on a consistent basis, not even $200 tests. dont know how you guys do it and you have my respect- bless you all. But as for me I am too dumb, have too little talent, too full of self pity, just plain too too REally need to give this up get a regular 9-5 and take the little camera out on weekends. And this fantasy to smash my camera and lens with a sledge hammer and put it in a plastic see thru box on my living room table and look at it for the next 10 years, just seems more and more desirable Dec 08 06 05:22 pm Link I dont know what those models were thinking....

Dec 08 06 05:28 pm Link I know its fucked up from time to time,but you got good work dawg i'd hate to see you quit over some idiots.. thats just my opinion! kp Dec 08 06 05:28 pm Link Guess what? A photographer flaked on me today!!!! Did I bitch? Nope. More study time for my final tomorrow. ;-) Dec 08 06 05:30 pm Link That's the nature of the business, if you can't stand the heat get out of hell  Dec 08 06 05:32 pm Link Take a lesson from the airlines and triple book and hope 1 shows. Dec 08 06 05:34 pm Link Wicked Illusion wrote: yeah... Dec 08 06 05:34 pm Link  Dec 08 06 05:34 pm Link Wow! I feel your pain. Being a photographer hasn't been about living the life. It's about driving a shity car, living in a shity house not knowing where your next job is coming from, bouncing checks and barely scrapping by. I can't live like this! But I love - oh god - I love it. And I can't stop. I had a model flake out today - it sux! -Nolan Dec 08 06 05:36 pm Link Dec 08 06 05:36 pm Link Gee haven't I heard this before X 200 Dec 08 06 05:38 pm Link Well, again let me just say , i PERSONALLY would never do that.... if i were you, id tell everyone i know not to work with them, because OBVIOUSLY they are unprofessional Plus your work is good as hell, id kill for high quality images FOR FREE Dec 08 06 05:39 pm Link PK Brazil wrote: You have to do that when traveling. Dec 08 06 05:43 pm Link If she has a MySpace, post this in her Comments section: Hey!!!! I found the answer to that question you asked me about the other day. I think that it's Chlamydia you've got instead of Syphilis. I know you told me that you were having problems with an infectious discharge, which is a common symptom of syphilis, but I think that the constant pain in your lower stomach and burning sensation when you pee are more characteristic of Chlamydia. I know how you didn't want to talk to your parents about it so I didn't mind calling around to find out what is wrong with you. Just being a good friend and letting ya know ~holla back P.S. I heard walgreens has that cream that you needed for that oral herpes too. And dont worry, it doesnt have any alchohol so it wont burn like the last 7 creams you tried. Dec 08 06 05:45 pm Link I sure am glad this is the first time someone has brought this up, it really puts things in perspective  Dec 08 06 05:46 pm Link Kasmia wrote: Do I have a chance at a gold star here, Kasmia? Dec 08 06 05:50 pm Link Kudos to you guys. I'm just a hack who is getting tired of failure. Left ear or right Vincent?

Dec 08 06 07:21 pm Link Mark wrote: There is no failure on your part - it's the models failing to care or even think!!!! Stop agreeing to photograph dumb models & all will be well Dec 08 06 07:27 pm Link The best way is to get a steady job while doing your photography on the side. That way, you will still learn photography and do what you like without worrying about steady income. If you go to any photography seminar, photography is about 90% marketing/advertising and 10% real work. Dec 08 06 07:30 pm Link I bet if there was less TFCD there would be less "models." Dec 08 06 07:31 pm Link have them pay u $50 (First thru paypal) to book your time. Money talks!!!! when models have money on the line they will show up! Dec 08 06 07:32 pm Link Angela Crystal McAdrian wrote: untrue/false Dec 08 06 07:33 pm Link been there and done that. Had 3 of 5 models cancel on me my last trip and two never bothered to call. At least one had the decency to call the night before. But the way I look at it its their loss tons of models around and when you find a good on keep shooting with her don't give up just don't give them a second chance to cancel again! Dec 08 06 07:35 pm Link You pay for what you get. Usually the whiners aren't as talented as you, though. Goes to show some models are jerks to all levels of photographer. Bummer. Oh well. Dec 08 06 07:36 pm Link Mark wrote: Let me know when you sell your stuff :-o Dec 08 06 07:38 pm Link First of all, to the OP, enjoy your stuff. Secondly, IMO, this is not a good place for work. The way I see it, this is a fun place to chat and discuss and occasionally find someone to shoot some fun stuff with. I don't do work-related stuff online, just too many hassles and not enough assurances, and the working "culture" of this place just isn't conducive to the brick-and-mortar world. In other words, peas and carrots are kept in seperate dishes. Dec 08 06 07:39 pm Link Angela Crystal McAdrian wrote: I could live with less models if it also meant less flakes.

Hhhuuuummmmmm Dec 08 06 07:43 pm Link The fact that you even posted this thread is a fantasy to me. I would love to experience the down falls just to be able to once say, "Wow! I take pictures for a living." The way it is now, I get the crap of a photographer, as well, get it for all of life's other money making hassles as well. Gary Dec 08 06 07:45 pm Link Me too.
