    Advice please

    Some guidance please. I photograph the landscape and the human figure. In the last couple of years I have met many models on the web and have found myself shooting more than I can possibly print. I have tried to cut down on the number of models (currently about 10) but find it hard to say no when they call. Any advice? Craig

    There must be a twelve step program for such an affliction.

    That's how I got my last two wives. But seriously... start charging them high enough till they don't come anymore.

    BTW, I did peruse your site and you are "the man".

    No problem, you can try a "mise en scene", that can be absolutely original. Think a subject like, women panoplie, women to love or the fruit of discord... etc and bring all of them together on the same stage.
    Camera will do the rest.

    Re: Advice please

    Eddie gave me an idea. I will be doing a shoot in a couple of weeks and I can make duplicate negatives at that shoot. I am leaning to using the 8x10 format. So here's a proposition - are any of you interested in a form of a print exchange by printing one of my negatives from that shoot and making enough prints for say 5-6 people. I really would be interested in seeing how others might interpret my work. If I can figure how to add some pictures to this I can show you the location. Thanks Craig
