Can somebody tell me why I am here?
Since joining MM I have enjoyed communicating with fellow colleagues and models. I guess what I am trying to get at is what am I missing? What's the purpose? If it's just a place to shout out, "I need Coffee" and "Good Night" so be it but I am not getting it and I want to figure it out. I understand about networking. I understand we make announcements just to have fun and for no other reason, to drive traffic to our port. I just want help in a definition of the intent here so I can figure out if I am missing anything or where I can contribute. So, for those who get it, do you care to explain? J T Jul 24 05 01:53 am Link Because it is better than being "there". I am here because I can meet models to shoot, photographers so I can grow and for the fun of it. Jul 24 05 02:33 am Link Sometimes you just really want to talk to people who understand what your world is about, to have a conversation with someone who gets it. Jul 24 05 02:49 am Link This is a circus.. So just have fun and dont take anything serious! Jul 24 05 03:08 am Link Hey JT... Ya know... I asked myself the same question a few weeks after I joined here... then I started to read the TAGS on my MM page... checked out all the kudos, the nice comments, the feedback... then I discovered that I was making a impact in peoples lives... you could be too. Checkout your TAGS and draw your own conclusion. Jul 24 05 03:41 am Link A while back before I discovered the internet, I have asked myself why I do photography. My answer was because I needed to find something creative to do, and photography was the most fascinating outlet I could find. I fell in love with the idea of shooting and the possibility of being published in some magazine someday. I looked at images that were created by Helmut Newton, Ansel Adams, Bunny Yeager to name a few. As far as why I am here on MM. Well, outside of networking, I enjoy this outlet if jjst to meet new people who share that common interest, receive compliments for what work I have accomplished. And actually take the oportunity to photograph those models I have met here, or from some other similar site.

Jul 24 05 07:40 am Link Posted by XtremeArtists: Yes, I very much agree :-)) Jul 24 05 07:42 am Link Posted by Kevin Rodgers: Posted by XtremeArtists: Yes, I very much agree :-)) Didn't anyone tell you that you need to know when to fold'em? Jul 24 05 08:53 am Link Posted by Jack D Trute: Posted by Kevin Rodgers: Posted by XtremeArtists: Yes, I very much agree :-)) Didn't anyone tell you that you need to know when to fold'em? "Pft! Florida? But that's 'America's Wang!'" - Homer J. Simpson Jul 24 05 08:57 am Link Posted by Jack D Trute: Posted by Kevin Rodgers: Posted by XtremeArtists: Yes, I very much agree :-)) Didn't anyone tell you that you need to know when to fold'em? You mean who wants clean water and air, like NY and California don't have? Jul 24 05 08:57 am Link Posted by Dax: You can meet some interesting people at the circus in NY. Many influential people go to Circus Du SoloArrosal, many influental people bring their children to the Big Top Circus in NY. So this is sort of a circus but until somebody important shows up besides me and a few makeup artists, I think we should call it a Zoo without cages. We need those stinkin Cages. Good point though. Jul 24 05 08:57 am Link Well - for me I can say this site brought me "back on track". I was kind of burnt out doing the same things all over again, but here I met people who taught me a lot about inspiration and technical issues... Lol - and thanks to some other GWC I learned that I'm not as bad as I thought I'd be...  ) So a general thanks from me to all of you... Can't wait to see what's next to come...

Right now this is a corner pub which turns in a nightclub on some nights. You can get to know people at a bar/club and occassionaly do some business. Jul 24 05 09:04 am Link Posted by Kevin Rodgers: Posted by Jack D Trute: Posted by Kevin Rodgers: Posted by XtremeArtists: Yes, I very much agree :-)) Swamp?, Slimy?, My home this is , Yoda Quote much. Jul 24 05 09:08 am Link Posted by XtremeArtists: Oooo, boy, not sure I want to get in the middle of this one. But if it were left to a vote I'm sure it would be fixed... Jul 24 05 10:06 am Link Posted by XtremeArtists: OHHH, this is so true... If it isn't, then why am I always cussing out those NY drivers every winter!! And some Illinois, too..

Right now this is a corner pub which turns in a nightclub on some nights. You can get to know people at a bar/club and occassionaly do some business. Don't forget the constant barroom brawling, that's the best part. Jul 24 05 12:55 pm Link Posted by Glamour Studio /Gary: Never experience any of that. I heard people are mean, sacastic, and vain. I have not seen that either. Jul 24 05 01:01 pm Link Posted by XtremeArtists: You forgot Oklahoma and Texas Jul 24 05 01:47 pm Link Can somebody tell me why I am here? Don't follow me, I'm lost too! Posted by XtremeArtists: Florida is almost as good as Nevada, too! Jul 24 05 01:51 pm Link This is so Kool !!!! Posted by Select Models: Posted by XtremeArtists: Your Lucky you didnt say Oregon (:---- Jul 24 05 01:53 pm Link JT ,read the entire thread and ask yourself again...he he.... Didn't get much wiser did you? Jul 24 05 01:57 pm Link Posted by XtremeArtists: Because of NJ's high prestige and class over the other states, no one would dare mention it. It's strange how people just disappear if they talk bad about Jersey. Jul 24 05 02:08 pm Link Damn it! The 26th post syndrome got me again. I'll have to start counting from now on. Obviously something wrong when it starts page 2. Jul 24 05 02:12 pm Link JT, man, I think, for the most part, that's all it is, networking on a casual level than you would in other sites. However, there are some in this community who are just hanging out, waiting for the next Haley's comet  Jul 24 05 02:13 pm Link Posted by Joe K. Perez: Actualy I'm here waiting to see pigs fly. I've heard it won't be long now with gene splicing. Jul 24 05 02:17 pm Link Posted by Glamour Studio /Gary: Posted by Joe K. Perez: Actualy I'm here waiting to see pigs fly.

I've heard it won't be long now with gene splicing. Mogwai be prrraised! It's a mirrracle! Pigs can fly! Jul 24 05 02:27 pm Link Could someone please tell me why I'm here; I have nowhere else to go, I only stopped in to read a few threads, And NOW I'm a member with photos to show. The threads, most are funny and some are quite bad; Some you can learn from; about the experiences they've had. Take you some tags and send them to friends; And if you really get desperate, go photograph models', OR just clean a lens. There's no perfect answer as "To Why You are Here", and we don't really know of a cure; One things for certain as you click on the mouse, you aren't out modeling or photographing, right now, and that, my friend, WE KNOW FOR SURE! The Korny Poet Jul 24 05 03:12 pm Link Dang Mouses!! Jul 24 05 03:19 pm Link Posted by Kevin Rodgers: Posted by XtremeArtists: Yes, I very much agree :-)) Florida is cool, if you like hurricanes and shit. Jul 24 05 03:23 pm Link I think its nice on this site as it has a different feel to others...its nice to get positive comments on your pictures, be you a model or photographer..It helps to encourage you to continue and do more and even better things, without being told to "do better" Some sites I have experienced are full of photographers who just rip and tear your pictures to pieces, then end up leaving you feeling "Why bother".... Everyone needs encouragement as each and every one does THEIR best. Jul 24 05 03:30 pm Link I am here to look at Sophia Innsbruck. What other reason do you need? Jul 24 05 03:32 pm Link Posted by Joe K. Perez: Posted by XtremeArtists: Posted by Glamour Studio /Gary: Posted by Joe K. Perez: Actualy I'm here waiting to see pigs fly. I've heard it won't be long now with gene splicing. Mogwai be prrraised! It's a mirrracle! Pigs can fly! Well, I guess that's that. Now I need a new reason for staying. I know, I'll wait until no-show models no longer exist and will only be read about in history books. Jul 24 05 03:32 pm Link Posted by Sophia Innsbruck: Hummmm, that sounds familiar. I just can't think of the name of the site at the moment. Jul 24 05 03:42 pm Link Posted by Hugh Jorgen: I'll take OR over FL anyday, but I consider AK my real home, so I guess I don't count. 8} Jul 24 05 06:16 pm Link nice place to BS about chiks and photogs .. and try to get some gigs ...
