Your job isn't all bad, is it

There are some benefits that make it worthwhile. Aspiring models are usually crazy, but fun.

I've never understood the reason for mutilating a pretty face to fit ironmongery here and there.
It does nothing to enhance her looks.

Wowser.    Just give up shooting outdoors and keep on shooting inside.

How about these Mr. B?

Good combo - crazy and fun.

Ugh.  I rest my case.

It's definitely warmer in the studio.

That's just lovely.

Don't you wish you had a super strong magnet handy?

No doubt about that.  Windy here today but at least the temp hit a high of 81 degrees.

Like I asked Mr. B.  Don't you wish you had a super strong magnet handy?

Yes the crazy can get to you, but this girl was nice.

DowntownRDB Posted at 2-14 15:14

Nothing would attract me to that

Well that makes a change.

Good to know.

True, but a magnet might pull some of that metal out of their faces.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 2-14 15:14

Now we have wind.

All of those holes take allot of dedication.

It helps alleviate the winter weather depression.

BetterBizTech Posted at 2-15 05:04

I'm seeing more and  more kit surfers out.  Guess they just want to take advantage of all the winds we've had lately.

BetterBizTech Posted at 2-15 05:05

Probably some pain also.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 2-16 07:42
Probably some pain also.

That's for sure.

BetterBizTech Posted at 2-16 12:53
That's for sure.

I saw on the national news this evening that a new law requiring New York businesses to clearly display the total cost of purchasing items with a credit card, including any surcharges is now in effect.  Maybe Florida will follow suit.

It should be that way. Visa and Mastercard are the companies that have prevented that for years.They want you to think there is no cost. LEt's see what happens.

It will be interesting to see how well it is enforced.

Visa and mastercard will figure out a way around it. They always do.

No doubt they will employ some creative accounting.  Something like some ENRON style accounting.

They have teams of attorneys too.

BetterBizTech Posted at 2-17 07:06

Indeed they do.  I know of at least 3 ex-Navy JAGS that work for Visa.  Personally, I didn't like working at the corporate level but that was because there was way too much greed at the CEO, COO and CFO levels and they tended to not follow legal advice when it meant less profit would occur.  Hence after 18 months I resigned.  Good thing as that corporation was investigated heavily and many large fines were issued and the CFO went to jail.  Interesting as it was kept out of the media for the most part.  

You managed to get quite the nice picture of her. Personally, I think her piercings stay at somewhat tasteful level (I usually don't love nor hate them, depending on the placement, the type of the piercings/jewellery and the amount), but I have to say that the examples in post #6 DowntownRDB put there are excessive to my tastes. But, each to their own. Anyhow, I think the picture looks great and she is quite pretty to be honest.

I'm not a big fan of piercings. I asked her to remove them for some of her portraits, but she brought hair color and piercings to a tasteful level, just as you stated. She is on the brink of fashion.

It sure seems so, many times having things in moderation helps a lot.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. Every style gets a little more outrageous. Lot's f people need attention.

Great work!

Are these shoots paid shoots?

No, This model asked me to shoot her TFP (Time For Pictures) she comes in and poses and I give her copies of what I've shot for her time. Then I can use them for my portfolio. I use them to promote my portrait photography business.
