You're Not Allowed to Collect Money, unless you have a Commercial Permit. I.E. Selling admission and food. Collecting Money is one of the best ways to get shut-down and cited. They could also confiscate the money, plus equipment. Do you want that? If you argue, they'll have a greater reason to cite you. There's some exceptions for money collection at Private Parks, If granted permission. But, usually for Public, you'll need something like a Carnival Permit. Selling food equals Health Inspection and Vending Permit. You can see where this goes. That's why we only ask a Small amount before-hand to help cover costs.

Mar 27 13 08:07 am Link Many attending models are new. Additional models can be added now, But only with early photographer signups. Otherwise, we'll wait until next week and go from there. She's scheduled;  Mar 27 13 08:06 pm Link We have a permit, but there's many types of permits. Most of it has Already Been Posted with Terms. We can't have every permit and don't need to. It's Already Posted that there's Discounted rates to cover expenses. It shouldn't take much thinking to realize you can't spend $2000-$5000 for 10 people, and it's Obviously Not going to cost $20. That can't even cover snacks & beverages. -Models enter free, no selling, no day collecting, limited numbers...Simple Mar 28 13 06:39 pm Link CaliModels wrote: So you're saying there's a different type of permit other than the standard filming permit that every city requires? Personally I'm sick and tired of paying for those permits. If there's an alternative, would you mind PMing me the details? I'd love to save some $ on my shoots. Mar 29 13 12:12 am Link We have to acknowledge that there is a lot of work in organizing a photo-shoot. It is not just showing in the park and everything happens. By recognizing it I gladly pay the fee when I attend, so you should do it. Mar 29 13 09:10 am Link DArt Ale wrote: Thanks for the Good Words. Mar 29 13 12:40 pm Link  Happy Easter Some Updates.

You asked about the horses last time, Apr 05 13 10:30 pm Link Possible Special Shoot, April.  Yucca Valley. Some photos taken in the yard and home. It may Open shortly. It's the Best Home and property we've used so far, with 2 yards including the new mini farm. We've done 4 shoots at this home, sometimes with window lighting and other times strobes. We also used a different home on the lot. Management owns all homes. This is the nicer home. If we can get it, a small hold is needed and people are expected to help out to reduce costs.

If a sponsor has not secured a permit or the right permit, it is the sponsor and not the photographers or models who will be subjected to legal action or not allowed to hold a shoot on the premises again. Over the years, I have been to shoots that were shut down early or never started because the sponsor did not get the permit. However, I do believe that shoot that is shut down due to the sponsor's fault of not securing the proper permits, the sponsor should refund the photographers their money. Apr 07 13 02:53 pm Link Cals Imaging Services wrote: Cal, you and I have been acquaintances for a few years. The question was valid as the OP did not state he had acquired a permit. His initial statements made it seem as though this was a gorilla style of shoot. I wouldn't want anyone being cited because a host failed to do things by the law. You know my job, you know it's a duty of mine to "protect and serve" as they say. For the record, there have been photographers and models who have been recently cited because the organizer failed to secure the proper permits. Apr 08 13 09:50 am Link Another Great Day. The Best of the Weekend! We even had an International cast. We had a few photogs that called in sick per they had to work, and they really missed out. Yep, they had written excuses from their moms.  Pics soon. Upcoming is a possible Yucca V. Then, maybe a special in May.Apr 08 13 03:56 pm Link Kurt You are right, I feel sick for not being there. I have a crazy work schedule that at times makes me very sick for missing out. I am very sure that it was a great shoot, with some very talent models/photographers. Looking to see the amazing photos from your shoot. SAD :-( Vince Apr 08 13 09:28 pm Link From Sunday, look at that sunshine.

If you don't like the way a post is written the poster must be in the wrong? Sal W Hanna wrote: How were you protecting his shoot? Isn't one of the concepts of the US Constitution, Innocent until proven guilty? Rather than doing a little investigation and finding out that the required permits were acquired you jumped to the conclusion that he was guilty. Sal W Hanna wrote: In the past one of the shoot sponsors had repeatedly refused to get permits for their shoots. I didn't see you jump on any of those threads.

The large yard is something new, made available last year. ...Stocks. Haven't done this in awhile since it was only up. But, we saw weaknesses in Asia and Europe early this morning, which carried-over to US markets. Also, an incident at Boston's Marathon. Sometimes in the past, occurrences like these triggered sell-offs. Although I think the economy is good, I'm going to take some profits to protect. Good luck all, No guarantees.
