Has 167 views, 4 comments, and 2 lists. Not that I really care, but I post a LOT in the forums, and they just come naturally.

Jan 12 13 02:41 pm Link idollphamine wrote: There are billions of photos out there and the novelty of photography has worn off. It's now about what you are doing with your images. Imagery is still very (most?) powerful part of our perceptions. What's your story? Why should people be interested in you? How are you promoting yourself? Are you doing motion pictures? Using imagery to sell products, services, ideas, sex, love, fantasy? Anyone can take a picture now. Its what you are doing with them that matters.

I can find all the tattooed, shapely, quirky and alternative models I could ever need. Jan 12 13 02:59 pm Link Gryph wrote: I agree with your "Yes" statement ... but don't with the second one. I do all of those things except shout Jan 12 13 03:01 pm Link NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK! Jan 12 13 04:51 pm Link idollphamine wrote: Sure...... I can't understand why no one knows your work... I say post more stuff..but keep up the your strategy. Don't tell anyone..don't network, don't post.... Jan 12 13 05:26 pm Link If you want thousands of comments on each of your pictures, just comment "puss puss" on every image of every portfolio you come across.

I'm not a sucker for comments, especially since most of the comments you will see on most images throughout all most photos are all the same. Generic and simple. Stuff like "Stunning, Beautiful, Gorgeous, Fantastic" is what they are. At least on a models portfolio. As for the photographers portfolio, I'd much rather prefer comments regarding the picture in terms of the composition and lighting. Jan 12 13 06:06 pm Link

I joined in 2008 when there were less than 450,000 members. Now it has more than 700,000. This is a profitable website. If I had the money (probably millions $$$), I would purchase this website and make it even better. It has even more potential than it realizes. Jan 12 13 06:36 pm Link idollphamine wrote: Yes!

Maybe we should spread the word more. Jan 12 13 08:19 pm Link Cuica Cafezinho wrote: But the OP asked two questions the second a very relevant one ... "does no one like photography ?" Photography is as you well know, is about a whole lot more than just shooting naked women. When I have posted nudes they never get attention my clothed work gets and I end up removing them to make way for more clothed work. Jan 12 13 08:34 pm Link To the OP, Make better images and "Brag about them" Hey I've been here since day one. MM seems just fine to me, there are often problems with the server, but hey, I get what I pay for.....

Many of the comments have been really positive and i thank you for that - i cant do it personally as i have reached my 5 email limit:) i will take on board the positive comments received, enjoy the funny and creative ones, and feel a little sorry for the ones who tried to belittle me - and failed.! i now have the answer i sought - thank you all idoll Jan 13 13 06:06 am Link Yes! I could give a crap about comments, in the real world MM comments are worthless. But the forums have been dead for a couple of years and castings are down. The whole site overall is very slow compared to 5 years ago. More members does not mean squat when there are more wanna b's than ever and dead profiles. Wanna b's and dead profiles are just a number count for advertisers.. Jan 13 13 07:26 am Link ^^^^ Truth Jan 13 13 07:33 am Link ^^ I think things are slowing down, almost crawling these days. I still appreciate the way the site works, the people, and the slower pace. For fast paced and quickly forgotten mass market non specialised site FB is the fastest way to get comments or things seen, yet they are forgotten as soon as they fall off the walls of people seeing them ( like 3 hours tops). Yet the OP has 2 posts, little chance that anyone will stumble upon those pix except for a troll post like this.

Jan 13 13 08:07 am Link I remember if you posted a thread it would be pages deep by the end of the day, even within hours.. Now the same thread sits there for a week on first page. (Started here as a MUA/model back in 2005) Just like Id post a casting and have 40-60 replies in 72 hours now maybe I get a few.. I browse profiles and more than 3/4 are dead or just total profiles filled with phone pictures and haven't logged on for 6 months.. I remember the days where you had to have pro photos to get approved.. I still enjoy putt-sing around here and I can still post a casting but its not the same at all.. Jan 13 13 08:10 am Link |
lt seams that of late folks suck up comments, lists like water only the friends who have been following my work stop by to comment on new additions. I even post a few nudes (lol) It's really a crap shoot these days I created a tumblr page just to keep from spending time commenting folks work that don't understand reciprocity ... and y'all can save you I don't care about comments or views statements cuz I do 
it appears you are both doing someone else's work.
Im working on it soon!
