NO. I won't accept you usually if you have a lot of nudity in your portfolio(photog.),  because I don't want to give a someone a reason to feel welcome to talk to me about shooting nudity or implied nudity. I think your portfolio screams your intentions, if it's all one thing--that's all your after. And for some god awful reason people will still message me about nude crappe. 

And thats crap too !! Why are clothes art, and nudity somehow demeaning ???? The best artists in the 14th & 15th century were painting nudes, if they had a cameras back then, I'm sure they would shoot them instead........anyway

Adding friends is NOTHING but advertising THIER site, its NOT about you, or THIER intentions for you ( sorry to burst your fragile ego ). Who really cares who adds who or who doesn't, If it were about "possible contacts" as people have stated, WRITE DOWN THE CONTACT info or message your friggin phone number !

Here's a spin...try not to get dizzy now...
When you look at someone's profile, do you really take the time to wade through all of their friends?
Does it matter that much?

P not J

Actually I do try to...though it's a daunting task.  You never know when someone will have someone great on their friends' list that you haven't seen yet...I love finding new work and new artists to inspire my own work.

They had cameras back then they just didn't have film. Google camera obscura.
