Wow, I Joined 17 years ago today!
I have not been as active as i used to be, but I log in now and again and read stuff etc. Just realized that I joined 17 years ago today. Prolly ok to file this under not interesting at all but it made me smile. I got to shoot some of the most amazing people from here, I was the first Model Mayhem Edu interview, used to be a gatekeeper, so that was cool. So, now I wanna ask ya'll
How long ya been here? Do you have a favorite shoot story? What has this site done for your work?  Aug 15 24 02:24 am Link Wow, I'm only one month short of 17 years!
The time has been valuable and entertaining. Aug 19 24 03:56 pm Link Cinema Photography wrote: On April 9th, 2025, it will be 20 years for me. Time goes by fast as we get older!

My first membership was a freebee offered to me by the MM folks. I don't remember the exact date but I recall my membership number was somewhere in the 3600 range. I don't remember the exact number. I added a couple images initially but really didn't use the site. Back then it didn't offer much compared to OMP. I logged on every month or two to check for improvements. Then one time my site was gone. I emailed MM to find out what happened and I didn't any help to restore my port. So just OMP until 2011. Aug 20 24 02:32 pm Link It has been almost 15 years for me. I'm here almost every day. I've done over 600 photo shoots with models I've connected to here. Aug 20 24 02:40 pm Link Wow.........!!!!!!!!!!!!! I joined over 19 years ago.........!!!!!!!!!! Aug 20 24 04:24 pm Link Is this where the "oldies" check in???
I'll hit the 20 year mark next June. It doesn't seem that long ago that I first logged on. Yes, I still shoot and still use MM for models. Although not as much as I did 2006-2010. Aug 20 24 06:19 pm Link Had to check lol 2006. Have been some fun times. Still sort of active. I'll stop shooting when they close the lid. Aug 21 24 09:12 am Link Mine was 18 years as of last week . . .
(don't even want to add up how much $$$ it's added up to over the years ! ) Aug 21 24 03:07 pm Link It'll be 17 years for me in October. I am still shooting for vsp-poker.com The models have changed and I still book models via MM, but it seems a lot of the new models flake more often nowadays.

This is Bridgette. I think she was one of the earlier models I connected with via MM. On this shoot, while we were in the waist-deep water, a big fin suddenly came up and started circling us. We both froze in fear...and then saw the fin arc downwards and realized it was a curious dolphin checking us out...not a shark. Phew! P.S. Believe it or not...that calm water was in fact, the Atlantic Ocean. Aug 22 24 05:38 pm Link Patrick Walberg wrote: #663.... Damn, you were super early to the MM party! Aug 23 24 05:33 am Link Ya been here since this place started.
I think I'm on my 5+ profile here. I think my OG one was 4484 something... Still creating art & booking jobs. I'd say 25% bookings through MM 75% bookings through my website: https://www.carlefactory.com Aug 24 24 11:24 am Link Its pretty great to see that there are lots of people who have been here for so long! I def recognize names! Aug 25 24 02:51 pm Link Ken Marcus Studios wrote: I would say if there was one avatar that was instantly recognizable, its yours! You have never switched that! Aug 25 24 02:54 pm Link Sep 23, 2005 when I joined, so many great people I have meet and worked with
so far, I have enjoyed my journey phillip Aug 28 24 02:09 pm Link I've had a profile since Jan. 29 2007, so also seventeen years. Hadn't done a photoshoot since 2019. Mostly because of the Pandemic, but I may look into resuming photography is some capacity. Especially since I had bought an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mk. 2 in late 2018, and really only used it for a photoshoot with Melissa Jean.
Though I also entered photos in French Photo's World's Biggest Photo contest for the first time, and got six photos accepted. Aug 28 24 04:03 pm Link |
