Yea. This. I second the gun safety! Don't play around with that sort of thing.

Hand bras. It makes me want to get a shelf they can just sit them on and call it a day. No need to hold that stuff like that. Have some respect for those mammary glands, ladies.

Myspace angles/above the head. So over that.

Chorister hands. Oh my goodness gracious. That's done. Stop it. No thank you.

Does anybody have an issue that when they see a photo, it instantly ruins it, completely and totally makes the shot not work?

For me, it's unsafe gun handling.  Fingers on triggers in circumstances that don't dictate it, poor gun form, muzzles being pointed in any direction that is not RIGHT, etc, etc...  It drives me up the wall and there was one model that I damn near slapped after the third time she pointed a (prop) gun at her head in a silly casual manner with the finger on the trigger.

That will do it for me.

Why?

Especially from the llama's point of view.

Ok, llama?

Finally getting it, but where the hell did it start and why?

Before anyone jumps on me, I am a Vet who believes I took an oath to preserve your right to do pretty much as you please with the flag....but that doesnt mean I dont cringe a bit sometimes.

I suspect you took an oath to defend your country, not necessarily the politicians of your country.

Like some cops who tend to forget whom the "To serve and protect" is supposed to be referring to.

The people who truly want to do something for the country tend to be ignored and disrespected.

Sorry for the mini rant.

hate that pose..I don't know why they do it, but it drives me up the wall.
it looks beyond stupid..and just fuck.

if I ever shoot a model and she pulls that out, I'll throw her out of the studio.

I don't get all the hate on guns. I guess if the concept is just "here is a sexy girl, let's give her a gun and let her pose with it" yeah, I guess so, but certain concepts would call for it, if you were doing things like swat/police/military/film noir/etc. kind of theme pictures you'd probably want to work them in at some point.

Hope I never see model wearing a gas mask, while sitting on a toilet, flipping the bird and wrapped in caution tape. Just might push me over the edge

Damn you are so right about the models sitting on toilets!
