Craigslist and White Knights do not mix.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This guy claims to be a professional photographer, and the photo displayed in the ad surely is indicative of the quality images that he produces. This guy isn't joking, he's seriously trying to give advice! He recommends visiting www.lasvegassos.com . That in itself is hilarious! I don't understand how a real person or business would never give money to someone they haven't worked with before. I do it everyday... many times throughout the day. I can't imagine walking into a 7-11 to buy a Slurpee and refusing to pay for it because I never worked with the guy before... but then hey, that's just me! Jul 23 14 10:28 am Link That's some hefty compensation They must really know what they're doing to pay that much Probably has a profile on here, too. This should get interesting  Jul 23 14 10:34 am Link *EDIT* Nevermind Jul 23 14 10:37 am Link Toto Photo wrote: why? Jul 23 14 10:40 am Link Ahhhh, white knights!

Jul 23 14 10:46 am Link I'm totally not legit then. 1 - WOOT I have a website! 2 - that's not a state website. 3 - What are you checking on google? That old guy that likes vinyl records? 4 - I offer money to models I've never worked with before all the time. 5 - The last 10 models I've shot came to my house. I think I failed. RE: http://lasvegassos.com/ --- while someone else is whitenighting, though somewhat less poorly, and more generally informative #1 and 2 - I have a legit website (that I never use) and a @jayleavitt.com email... if I didn't want to, since I never update my website, and wanted to save that money, am I no longer legit? (I'm a photographer, not a company) 6 - I book for specific dates (I'm a photographer, not a company) 9 - When I do pay, it's in cash (I'm a photographer, not a company) Jul 23 14 10:48 am Link -JAY- wrote: now tell me something that I don't know!

Jul 23 14 11:28 am Link I don't trust Craig's list, well at least not in NYC. lol I definitely fail that quiz too. I shoot at home, I don't meet in public and I don't pay in cash. I use cookies! People pay me with Tennessee Whiskey! Will trade for Whiskey!  Jul 23 14 11:34 am Link I fail  Jul 23 14 11:35 am Link He even pays extra to hide his WhoIs info.

I advertise in CL all the time, and now feel sorry for all the PSU college girls who pose for me, as I'm evidently, a total perv. Sucks to be me...  Jul 24 14 07:37 am Link
