Feb 15 13 08:53 am Link 10 It's free, it's entertaining and I've even gotten models from it. Feb 15 13 08:55 am Link 5 Feb 15 13 08:56 am Link 6 Things are good. Because of MM I was found for a hair shoot and now I'm in many hair magazines every winter and spring, but that's my only real accomplishment. I can do better. Trying, but I really don't know how to do more. I feel like I'm at a loss. I do thank MM for being on the internet/being there for me/existing. It has shown me a lot and I've met some good people on here. -Lp Feb 15 13 09:03 am Link After one year here, for finding newer models who want to work on portfolio building work, a 9. Compared to some of the other sites, an 11 if not for anything else, there are active, interested people here. But Match.com does work better for dating, but them my wife does not let me date. Just saying.... Feb 15 13 09:06 am Link Easily a 10. I have booked paid work, gotten tons of solid trade photos, found friends, been entertained, learned a lot, and found my artistic calling. Feb 15 13 10:32 am Link 10+ Look at my credits on my profile. Dozens of fine models I found here. Feb 15 13 11:12 am Link 9 Feb 15 13 12:04 pm Link Neil Snape wrote: And you deserve it Neil. Feb 15 13 12:43 pm Link 8 overall. It's natural networking for me and I've made some cool friends, well, over the internet for whatever that means. I enjoy the forums; I just ignore the negative talk. I'll probably delete my account when I get to a different stage in my life. I really don't like social media of any kind but I keep this up because it works for me now. I don't want to be in a serious relationship and running to the computer for my social needs, talking to someone across the country, in a different state or different country altogether. If I need to talk to someone far away from me for personal or business, there's email, the phone and Skype if necessary. For now, it's a good way to chat here and there. If I want to seriously discuss anything, I do so with rational, kind, logical people that can carry a conversation other than the usual, playing their own adaptation of Oz on the internet.  Feb 15 13 12:56 pm Link It depends, on dance shoots, there are so few real ballet dancers who are also llamas so there is the demand there. But no so much in other fields of llamaing, though I haven't tried them quite as much. Feb 15 13 02:34 pm Link 10 Feb 15 13 02:39 pm Link richardsphotographybc wrote: 2. Feb 15 13 02:52 pm Link 3.14159 Feb 15 13 02:55 pm Link I'm going to say 9. I've gotten excellent ideas from the forums, met and shot with some amazing models I'd never have had a chance to shoot in my non-MM life and had some great laughs at some of the discussions between the super egos here. Feb 15 13 02:58 pm Link Can I go into negative numbers. Feb 15 13 02:59 pm Link I'd say 10. Since I started photographing only art nudes, I've only had one flake that I can remember. Feb 15 13 05:39 pm Link 2 or 3. I've worked with some very nice models, but the number of bigtalkers who disappear once it comes to nailing down the shoot is staggering. Feb 15 13 06:13 pm Link I worked in the past 4 years with over 200 models from MM... All awesome girls... So I said 9.0  Feb 15 13 06:44 pm Link I'd rate it at 7.5  I met several fabulous llamas and designers, they so improved my body of work who I shoot often and count them as friends. Met a few users and one crazy lady too. (thus 7.5) Feb 15 13 06:57 pm Link 6 Pros: --met some great people here, including the starter of this thread. --worked with many lovely models that actually can keep an appointment --forums can be sometimes informative, often entertaining. --Lots of traffic. I used to be on MuseCube. Waste of time. I also tried a few other sites recently. Very little traffic. Cons --Far too many flakes, dingbats, and cellphone models that think the whole world revolves around them. MM really has to allow repeat flakes to be outed. Why MM would be comfortable being associated with No-Shows blows my mind. --Very "buggy" site. Often goes slow. Feb 15 13 07:13 pm Link Roughly a 7.

Really. Feb 15 13 11:23 pm Link about 80 per cent I have connected and worked with a lot of models but a few have eluded me The forums have kept me entertained but not so much in the last couple of years Feb 15 13 11:28 pm Link 5 It used to be more around the 8/9 but as my portfolio got better I got a lot more photographers here telling me how intimidated they are by me instead of interested in booking me  Tiff www.TiffineyC.com Feb 15 13 11:42 pm Link 10. It's been great. Here and there things haven't rolled how I wanted them to, but the site has delivered. Next month I am doing a little campaign shoot somewhere in the desert badlands and I wouldn't be up to my neck in planning the craziness if it wasn't for the blessed MM. MM has built my book to the point I just two or three more and I'm ready to pitch around town. Feb 16 13 01:20 am Link 8. I would rate higher if MM had requirements for activity and updating, or account removal. Otherwise though it's pretty great. Feb 16 13 04:48 am Link 
Photographer Posts: 609 Amundsen-Scott - permanent station of the US, Unclaimed Sector, Antarctica In past locations = 9 Current location = 2 Feb 16 13 05:41 am Link 8. had a couple of bad models who just dragged negotiations on and on, some who kept copy-paste advertising rates and their casting to me irregardless of whether it was suitable, and some who were just so unprofessionally troublesome that i would never work with them again. but on the other hand, i started out at mm when i had virtually no experience and being able to work with people who were at the same point as me really helped me along. i think that mm is great for beginners or people who want to help out beginners, but don't use it to cast professional commercial shoots - thats what agencies are for (or official websites for that matter).
