Kind of a wide-ranging subject, but I was just pondering on this today...

Some portfolios (or lists) I see here on MM, I just know I would never get along with the owner. But if somebody likes the same kind of images I do, I feel there's a much bigger likelihood we will be alike in other ways too, and will probably get along.

What do you think?

Let's experiement.

Take a look at my portfolio which includes an image of me and Frank (Wish he would come back to MM). I am the one on the left when looking at the photo.

Then tell me what you think my character is based on my portfolio and the image of myself. smile

I don't think so really. My portfolio probably has 1 or 2 images that may somewhat reflect a small part of my character or personality, mostly because at this point what is in my portfolio reflects more of the photographer's vision and likes than my own. Plus I think personalities are much more prismatic than an image.

Hello Stefano,
I haven't created my lists of inspiration yet and am also at a personal transition point but, wonder what you think. I like you work a lot. Neil Snape's as well.

Can't really answer this here, but post in my Critique thread and I will be happy to tell you smile

I think he means by the photos they take, not the photos they are in...

What I've observed is that many of the hardcore conservative togs active in SB and OT have ports full of bondage shots. That's kind of funny given their political stance.

Yep!!
