Need Advice
Ok I am usally a very busy guy, but i honestly need some advice I am being stalked by a model and her Photographer Husband. they call me at work, they call me at home. they show up at places i am at, and they call me non-stop. I have contacted the police but because they havnt threatend me in any way. they wont do anything about it. now they are going around lying saying i owe them money. Considering i never shot with this person. nor have i met him outside of the Model. I dont know what he wants from me. he keeps telling me he wants to make sure everyone knows that he is better then me on top of this. I have a question about his photography. He shows up at sporting events takes photos of the kids playing, then distributes a flyer to the parents saying they can view the photos on his website and then purchase them. Isnt that Illegal? Thoughts? Dec 17 06 07:48 pm Link  Dec 17 06 07:59 pm Link i LIKE THE WAY CECIL THINKS. But I grew up in cook county Ill. We didnt do, we hired it done. Dec 17 06 08:02 pm Link Shooting the events is not illegal. I've heard of quite a few people trying to make a living that way. Taking video of school plays, and taking stills at sporting events then doing the online thing afterward. I think it should only be allowed if the school approves you but no one seems to care from what I can tell. As far as the stalking goes, that's just too weird. I would make sure I kept a record of when and where they showed up and anything they send you. Dec 17 06 08:04 pm Link wow I'm so sorry to hear that maybe just backing out is the wisest move better to be safe than sorry... better to be happy than right!  tell him yes, you know what, i have upset a lot of people lately i was an ass im really sorry about it i have now found Jesus and i realise you ARE better than me do you want tyo coem to church with me? try to sound like you mean it good luck either way!!! Dec 17 06 11:34 pm Link in wv you have to have a license to take pictures like that- also if you get caught selling them you're slapped with a fine- unless its college i think police suck! they get ppl in trouble that don't deserve it while others enjoy harassing people. My mother-in-law got her house paintballed because some high school kids got mad at her 19 year old son who doesn't live there and doesn't go to school. The police said they couldn't do anything. A man in the county next to me cooked his 3 week old baby in the microwave and he didn't even go to jail! Life is screwed up when an animals life is more precious then a humans life- I'm sorry this is happening- there was this photographer person on mm that use to harass me by email. I'd block him then he'd change his screen name and stuff... I really don't know what to tell you besides ignore them.

Dec 18 06 01:31 am Link yeah. that's my advice. don't get too close to models. Dec 18 06 01:31 am Link Jeff Marsh wrote: We still do.... cook county hasn't changed that much my friend...

Dec 18 06 01:49 am Link I would suggest written and spoken [official] requests to cease all contact with you. If they continue, depending on where you are, that may constitute harrassment. If you don't mind dropping a few bucks, you can probably head down to your courthouse and pay to file restraining orders, provided you know an address to have the orders served to. But yeah, a well-documented history of what/who/when will probably help you out the most in all of this eventually. Dec 19 06 04:44 pm Link |
