Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've been working five days a week and am exhausted when I get home and have been so brain dead to even think of what to write.I've been trying to stay active in uploading new work however, so I hope you've enjoyed. And. P.S. I do read all comments, and I try to respond to all ( which is rare, I don't do that on any other site but here because I actually respect people's artistic opinions of my work.

Things aren't slowing down for me at all, despite work. I've got a shoot this weekend on sunday. Finally going to get my coffincase shoot done and going to do another set or two. Might be shooting with Craig Thomson and Destroy Inc. again in the next month, so keep an eye out for my updates.

I have a question for you guys, if I made a stock profile here, do you think it would be worthwhile?

Make a stock profile. Update it as often as possible. Honestly. People will use it. I've had some awesome things made. The more you update the more people see it too. So what I usually do is upload 1/2 of the set or 1/4th each day depending on the size. Seems to draw more people in because it's not all just lumped into one day.

Just be very careful and very specific in your disclaimer. Most of my stock shots are taken by photographers and I ask people to credit the photographer.... No one EVER does... I always have to remind them. It's a pain. But it's the only draw back I've had.

It'll be worth it in the long run even if you only piddle with it once in awhile :) plus stock shoots are so much simpler than photoshoots... raw no editing, just playing dress up and posing :D

ya, some of my shoots are un-edited and I get raw images on CD and get to use and edit how I choose. But others are more for the images themselves, and I get a limited # of images to choose and have edited, usually ranging from 3 - 10.

and besides just shooting stock pics myself, I don't know anyone really who would want to do just a stock shoot, except random GWC's on modelmayhem, haha.

Hmm... I haven't had a problem finding photographers for it... Most of the ones I've shot with are down with it, as long as it's not like a super long shoot... But most of my photographers are also good friends, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it? They're cool with doing favors once in awhile. I dunno if that's normal for others, but I feel like I've made a good friend out of most everyone I've shot with for life. I've gone out with a few to bars, too, haha :D They're just good peoples.

The awesome thing with stock though is that anyone can shoot it practically ^.^ like my friend Laina who has a nice camera, it's an SLR and not like one of the few thousand dollar ones but you know still nice, we have plans to go outside and do some weird poses and themes.

It doesn't have to be fancy. Some of the best stocks I've seen haven't been professionally shot at all.

I love getting unedited raw images :D It's rare, but it's always awesome. That's where most of my stock images come from, with permission of course ^.^ The limited number of images to choose from are what I get most of from TF shoots. I hate those, because I always want like 15 instead of 3-10 like they ask lolz.
