Sorry for the Super long ass delay with

updating... Well got damn it ill be keeping up with this blog at least
once every 3 days for now on. Things have been getting busy and you know
how this photography thing works with the planing, shooting and
editing, it can quite busy non stop. Since ive been gone ive added a few
new ways to stay in touch with me besides the blog....

Models
PLEASE... I repeat PLEASE, if you HAVE to have a "manager" (sigh idk y,
but anyway) Make sure they know at least SOMETHING about management and
ummmmm "MODELING". Talking to some of these dummy's i can tell they
have NOOO idea what im talking about, hell sometime i just make up terms
and say random shit just to amuse myself.... But in short, your missing
opportunity's dealing with these jokers...
I asked this one joker if
his model was registered under the DCF77.1 to make sure she can be
legally paid for a project under DC law... This asshole said yea, its
all taken care of, she can be paid.... Do yall know what DCF77.1 is?
Shit its a electrician term for a transmitter to broadcasting a time
signal in Germany, i added on the .1 to be a smart ass to myself
LMAOooooo. That idoit actually said yea to that shit lol
Here
is a perfect example of using inspiration of a idea without STEALING it
from the original user. While watching old videos like i always do when
im bored, i put on the Ciara "Promise" video, and there in it i seen
something that caught my attention that i thought hell, id love to shoot
that (BUT IN MY OWN VERSION).
So while viewing it i paused it
on certain parts and took a few screen captures of it. I contacted two
different models that i thought would be good for bringing this idea to
life with my twist on it. Both models declined the idea, so i went on to
another model i thought would knock it out. Im so glad now both of them
passed on it now that i look at the images.
Anyway point is,
when you see a idea you like its ok to duplicate it as long as you put
your own spin on it...This is just my two cents... Below are the screen
shots of the video that i presented to the models and got the idea from.
Point also, STOP being scared to try different shit, you fail when you DON'T try.
Points of interest in video 2:30 and though out.
A few shots from my shoot

Warning: Days of Eric giving a FUCK are behind us, so don't look at it as I've changed, lets just call it a Reawakening.
I have turned down Countless "publication"
offers for this reason right here... This is a tear sheet from a Publication, SMFH, its so much
wrong with this on so many levels i could go on for days... Now do you see why i say being Published means
NOTHING now and days...This is NOT a knock on anybody who's published or
anything, but come the fuck on lol. There needs to be a standard set in
this industry, and i refuse to submit work to a mag that passes shit
like this on.
Its going to be hard for ANYBODY to tell her anything about anything now. "Is there anybody you look up
to in the modeling industry?"
Of course shes going to say Tyra and Naiomy (Which is spelled
Naomi). THAT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN MODELING SHE KNOWS OF!!!!!
