Oh some of the winners I get on Model Mayhem. Dudes whose profiles look like they were shot with a Casio 6 megapixel point and shoot camera. With the flash on. We call these guys GWC's. Guys with Cameras. I'm not a professional model, I don't claim to be one, but I have been modeling long enough to know to avoid these types of guys. For the most part these people are just sad bastards with less than stellar personal hygiene who wouldn't be able to see a chick naked without paying for a lap dance.
Behold; exhibits A, B, and C:

I am all about hair in the face as my hair is always in my face. Done right, hair in the face can look really sexy, enigmatic, and mischievous. Done wrong and you get exhibit A.
I haz da mad photoshopz skillz. Srsly.
Now this just looks like something from a bad hopefuls set. Wait. I think this was a bad hopefuls set. I mean, I get the angle he was going for and he gets an E for Effort, but I wouldn't post it on my portfolio if I was mentioning my rates on my profile.
I understand that people need to get experience. I have seen photographers profiles on MM that specifically state that they are looking for experience and that they do photography more as a hobby than anything else. That I can respect. But when people try to shop themselves around as pro's is when I call bullshit and shamelessly post their mediocre photography for all to gawk at.
I told these guys that I would work with them and listed my rates. They haven't gotten back to me. It's like, "sorry dude, my portfolio is already pretty full."
I sound like an elitist but I am calling it as I see it.
I am usually not this snarky. Perhaps it's the guavaberry cocktail that I made myself.
I got two of my Christmas presents early today. They are a tad too risque to open in front of the family on Christmas morning.
Here are some pictures illustrating one of said gifts:

It's my very first latex skirt! It's not one I can wear out of the house exactly though. That's fine. It will be happy in the house. Yes yes I know I just went on a rant about pictures shot with your average point and shoot camera. How dare I post home taken pictures of my ass. However,
dkmfc does not pretend to be a professional photographer and use pictures like this on any sort of portfolio.
I never put down the mouse. There is far too much porn to peruse.
Well I hope everyone had a good weekend.
Okay, better now. How was your Christmas time? Did you have family fun? And how's the Wolf-man? Swimming in new cute clothes.
Hugs and love. Any NYE plans yet?
