Shoots - I like to have fun at my shoots.  I like to talk, joke around, listen to loud music and be a smart-ass!!  I do what's needed to get the image I want, but I wanna have fun doing it.  Models must have a sense of humor and like dogs!
I am definitely not politically correct...

Friend Requests - Please do not send me a f/r.  I'm not here to see how many "friends" I can rack-up.  That mentality belongs on My Space & Facebook.  The models I have as friends are those I have actually worked with, or are scheduled to work with.

TFP - Is all I do.  My policy is that the model will receive a minimum of two edited images per look / setting / outfit.  But it's usually way more than that!  The images are usually posted on my Flickr page the same day as the shoot (unless I'm traveling).
I do not give out all images from a shoot, nor do I give out any unedited images.  Models are free to stop by and review any images from their shoot.
You can see more at http://www.flickr.com/photos/cameratracks/sets/
(ALSO - I am not one of those photographers who uses a model's image in his portfolio and then doesn't credit the model!  Every image I use - I credit the model.  I feel anything less reflects poorly on the photographer.  IMHO....)

Communication - Very important!  When I schedule a shoot with someone, I provide my cell number.  Don't schedule a shoot if you're not going to show up.  And please do not cancel a shoot the day before, or the same day!!  (Yea, it's happened).  I keep track of no-shows and late cancellations, and I will - and do - share this information with other photographers.
No show/no call = no shoot / no reschedule / lifetime shitlist membership.
If I send you a message about a shoot, and you choose not to respond for a week or month - forget it - the moment has passed!!
If we are in the middle of discussing or scheduling a shoot - and you choose not to reply for a week (or more) then please consider the offer expired!
Please try to refrain from texting me!!  I do not pay for cell phone service so I can get text messages!!  It's much easier - and takes far less effort - to just call.  (What a concept!!)...

Escorts - Escorts are fine with me.  However, for studio work, they will be watching from the adjoining room.  No escorts will be in the "shoot" room during a shoot.  (With the exception of parents, if the model is under 18).  Escorts are welcome to assist models with outfit changes, hair, make-up, etc.  But when the model gets in front of the camera, the escort returns to the adjoining room.
Whether we're doing a studio shoot or on location somewhere, if your escort feels the need to "hover", the shoot is over. 

I have a complete home studio where I shoot, or any location.  For references feel free to contact any of the models on my friends list.
And if we are discussing a shoot, please do not give me a link to your My Space page when you have it set to private. 

Retouchers / PS Wizards - Please do not tag me or message me with your rates or tell me how wonderful my images look!!  I am not interested in anyone else editing my images.  Thanks....

I especially love air shows and car shows, and will travel anywhere I can to shoot them.  If you live close to one that I'm planning to shoot, let me know...
