PLEASE NOTE–THIS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD–ITS SOLE PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE EXPERIENCED MEMBERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER TO HELP NEWBIES SETTLE IN TO MODEL MAYHEM. NEWBIES-PLEASE READ-If you are looking for a Big Buddy, you MUST copy and paste the request into a PM and send it to the Big Buddy of your choice. (Just click on the avatar of the person you wish to contact, then click on the envelope in the upper right corner of the profile.) DO NOT POST IT HERE because Big Buddies are not permitted to initiate the contact. If you post here your request will not be seen. Everybody needs a buddy from time to time, somebody that you can talk to, get advice from and so on. The trouble is that when you’re new it can be hard to know who to ask.

Reason: other Comments: No Longer Needed Jun 01 14 02:30 pm Link Re: https://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thre … st18946918 Hi, Robert, Thanks for posting. I'm afraid, though, that I'm going to have to ask you to select a Big Buddy and contact him or her directly via PM, rather than post your request here. We set it up this way after seeing other sites where people were contacting newbies with sometimes spurious offers. This way, you can look over the available Big Buddies and contact whoever you feel will be most able to help you. I would be very happy to help you in whatever ways I can but as a hobbyist in New York, there's very little I could tell you about setting up a photography business in Toronto. If you wish, however, I might be of some help in terms of contacting models, portfolio development, etc. Feel free to drop me a line. I've just looked over the list and see that unfortunately we have no one from Canada yet. (The project is only a few weeks old.) How about it, Canadian photographers and models? Would you care to lend Robert a hand? If so, please check the OP for how to offer your services. Jun 03 14 07:25 pm Link I will fill out the form and repost it when I get home tonight. I want to participate, but have already left home for the day, am on a phone, and can't do it from this device. Jun 12 14 09:03 am Link Thought i would share what i just created to put on my profile so that people know i am a big buddy participant you can use it if you would like to To use just remove the * [IMG*]http://oi59.tinypic.com/fncx92.jpg[/IMG] Jun 19 14 03:22 am Link Patreshas Editing wrote: Awsome!
