Title: Who needs models when you have yourself!
Post by: cybernesco on May 30, 2013, 10:26

Just kidding...we do need models.   I have 100 photos of my face out of 1360 images and usually I have various subject selling. However, this morning total surprise to see this...this is funny

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that, it is accounting all day.

The ones they chose would be funny to open over a cup of coffee!

Good group and fun, especially for someone named after an electric cooker.  :o

I don't shoot models, but I like your idea. Some day I need to go out and make a fool of myself. (no not like my usual days, I mean in photos...)

Costume shop closed, I was silly enough to bid on a bunch of "interesting" outfits. Could be something or could be a total flop. Maybe in October. Busy with other projects right now.

I took a couple of shots of myself one day when i was setting up some lighting and no one had arrived to help yet. I submitted them and was asked by, I think SS, for a sensitive issues model release because the end user wanted them for a gastrointestinal distress advertisement. I s**t you not.

Intentional pun, or not? I just had to ask.

Have you thought about where they are being used?
I mean, it could be at " not so good places"

Like the psyciatrists guide to ....

Ok, Im just making fun.
Enjoy the sales.

Well done Denis. Hey, you're a very good "terrified model." That's a compliment...at least I think it is.   8)

Hey I know what you mean with the no need for models. Hell most my best sellers are self portraits, though sadly with no shirt on and grabbing my nipples but that is a different story.
