Not remotely a G(irl)WC.

I'll let you know why, too, but you have to ask.

I'll let models know if they have any work FROM a GWC.

Not looking for critique, just curious that you're judging people's portfolios to tell them if they are a GWC... but it's all about motive, not quality of work.

A GWC is someone who just uses photography to see naked women... I think the word you're looking for is "amateur" or "beginner".

You're trying really hard not to be, and in a year or so I'm guessing you won't be, but for now, YES, you are a GWC.

Thanks Charles!

I am but I want to see if I'm improving.

Yes, you are. 

Any model SHOULD be honored to work with you, though!  Your work is very good.

Yes, you are a GWC, and might be interested in applying for the national secretary or treasury position of the club.

Hey, opinions. Shoot.

You are not a GWC, and have no chance of becoming one. 

Excellent work!

Alright...tell me if I have GWC work.

Clearly, you are trying to produce art, as are the photographers who you work with. 
You only have two or three GWC shots in your portfolio.

uses photography to see nakids womenz.

Your work is well composed, well lit, and properly retouched.

Which shots, if you don't mind my asking?

Do you even know what makes someone a GWC?  cause I don't really think you do.

MM's definition:

What is GWC?
GWC is an acronym for "Guy With Camera." It's a derogatory term for an amateur photographer. And it has taken the intraweb by storm thanks to MM. It usually implies that said guy is only interested in photography in order to get hot ladies to get nekkid for him.

Bingo!

It's not as much about talent as being obsessed with getting the nekkid hotties to pose for you.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program.

If you guys don't want to play, don't post! 

Geez.

Learn the difference between a GWC and an amateur or beginner, they are NOT one and the same!

I look at these posts occasionally, check out the person doing the posting and move on most of the time.  In this case I have to respond. You sir are a GWBC, That'd be "Guy With BIG Camera", no disrespect as your work definitely does NOT suck.  I have a big one too.  As far as film being better ... the jury is still out on that statement.  I've shot both a fair amount, played with a limited number of alternative processes, but I'm lazy and there you have it.

Correct!
