Ass is okay...it is b(o)(o)ies we have to worry about. Damn, hasn't being a GWC taught you ANYTHING? And if that is indeed John Jebbia, where is the sagginess I have learned to expect from photographers? I postulate he cannot be a real photographer because his ass, even pixelated, is too small.

It's me. Alan has met me before.. he can attest that it is me.

Well, I cannot attest to the buttocks, but the back of his head is authentic!

So, how did you get such a good look at the back of his head?

I had shot with that particular model over 100 times and she encouraged me to do that. So it's not quite as inapropriate as it may appear.

Funny side note to that shot..

That was done in Rocky Point, Mexico. And the sand dune location we had to take ATV's to get to.. About 15 miles out of the main town. Well, we each had our own ATV and she decided it would be funny to take my clothes and leave. I couldn't exactly chase after her, afterall I had all of my camera gear to pack up.

Make a long story short.. John Jebbia rode all the way back to the hotel buck naked with nothing more than the helmet. And Gringos go to jail if they ATV with no helmet.

So, 15 miles.. over sand dunes, down a main highway, through city streets. Buck naked with nothing but the helmet on my head!

Oh my gosh.  So now I am learning about a side of you I never knew.

Now to a statement you made:  "So it's not quite as inapropriate as it may appear," if it is not quite as inappropriate, how inappropriate was it?

Well, John doesn't normally have his head up his butt, so it was pretty easy to see.

Oh good GOD, can you PLEASE do that behind close doors?! This is a work safe website, remember?!

Obviously your mind is not dirty enough tonight.

Well, the fact that hundreds of Mexicans had to witness my naked ATV riding ass makes it on a scale of 1-10 a 4.

On the GWC Universal Index, a "4" falls into the category of limited perversion which is acceptable for a mainstream photographer and actually categorizes you as totally NORMAL.  Darned, I was hoping you were a closet pervert.

Not dirty enough, I like how you think,lol. And I do think a light just clicked on here,lol. Anyway, I am trying to finish my website for its 1/1 official opening. This is why I may not see all here right now,lol.

You know.. we're ALL perverts. We all got into this business for one reason and one reason only. Some of us figured out a way to make money at it, others have not.

But to say anyone gets into photographing internet models just for the money is full o' crap!

I can think of 1000 easier ways to make a living.

I have a subscription to Playboy.com, does that count?

I make all my money in this business, but do you really want to call it "a living?"

I do feel a little guilty when I say something like:
I want to "work" with her.
I "worked" with.

I'm hard pressed to call this work. Work is construction, flipping burgers, telemarketing. This is a dream job we all wanted as kids when sneaking our father's Playboy magazines. So, I would say it's safe to say that most of us, in the beginning got into this for the beautiful ladies.. and the money was just sort of a by-product.

Now some will deny it, but I still think they're full o' crap!

By the way, I make 60% of my income playing poker, 39% from photography, 0.5% from the stock market, 0.25% from change I find in the couch and on the street, and 0.25% from recycling.

And when I am in a real pinch for cash, I go get a job that offers paid training then I quit on my first day on the job.

Then you are clearly a learned individual.

She wants to see your toushee, not your pixels.  You just dissappointed her, that's all.

Or maybe she is just upset because you posted a derivative work.

Now THAT's an ass!

Now Lapis will never come back!

Holy crap! I'm getting offers from models who wanna pay ME!

Tell them that you are no longer available for TFP.  You expect not less than your regular daily rate of $23.75 but you do expect copies of all images from the shoot, both of them.

No, not really.  Gotta do better than that.

John Jebbia wrote:
Is this the same thing as sending unsolicited e-mails of inapropriate images to unsuspecting models? Or do we make an exception in this case since I have been drinking?

I don't know but I just sent a copy to Dave Hall.  We'll get his view.

I think I posted this picture on there once.

EDITOR'S NOTE:  This image was originally pixelated to preserve the modesty of the model, but defacing the purity of the image as conceived by the artist.  That travesty has now been corrected with image posted now with the model portrayed in all the glory bestowed upon him by the creator.

Alan. You are very good at photoshop. I had no idea my ass could be reconstructed like that!

I am a good hacker as well.  I managed to get onto your server and update the original.  NOT
