rabi9634 Personally, I'm all about voting for the best person for the job. Whether that person be male/female/black/white/gay/straight/religious/atheist/whatever else, the only important thing should be whether they'll do their job better than the other candidates....

Accepted as a Suicide Girl

hcromer @hcromer (2710) • United States 9 Jun 07

I've been a member of Suicide Girls for a long time. I was accepted once a couple years ago and never did any photos for the site because I didn't have a good camera or anyone to take the pictures for me (and I still don't)....

rabi9634 I did photos at a music video shoot for a song called "My Suicide" about the SG's. Lots of fun. Congrats on being accepted. As far as a name, you shouldn't rely on us, since none of us really know you. Think about something personal that defines part of...

Portraits: How Much do You Charge?

hcromer @hcromer (2710) • United States 30 Jul 08

I'm really just getting started out in photography. I have done portraits/head shots for a few of my friends for free to work on my portfolio and now I have a couple of people who are interested in paying (both of whom know that I...

3 responses

rabi9634 I don't typically do portraits, and as such, when I do I usually don't charge any sort of a sitting fee. I generally do a free shoot and make my money off of the prints. If they'd be willing to do a model release, I'd be willing to discount the prints because...

mummybec @mummybec (685) • Australia 27 Jul 08

Hi all, I was just wondering have you ever given anyone a negative rating / feedback here on mylot? I am just curious to see what reasons people think are valid to do this with, some I can understand like if the responses /...

rabi9634 The ratings system is an unofficial way of keeping people on topic, and promoting responses that have substance. To give examples of the types of things that I'll usually notch a - rating for, I'll use this discussion. At hand, we have the question: "Have...

dog given away

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 26 Jul 08

I just spoke with a friend who had to give her dog away, the dog was getting free and the neighbors complained. This dog was a very loving dog and loved children, he had none at home and just wanted to go find some to play with....

rabi9634 Getting a dog is a huge responsibility. It's a lot like having a child. You're taking on the responsibility for a living thing. You can't just get one because it would be fun or cute without thinking about the consequences and the numerous responsibilities...

Copyrights - how do I do it?

Mare73 @Mare73 (1335) • United States 25 Jul 08

I have a question... since I'm new in the photography field, I'm very green and ignorant on a lot of things. My first question is: How do I copyright the pictures I take so that I can safely post them on the web? Any...

rabi9634 I love it when people answer based on 'guessing' what the right way to go about this is. Ok, first off.. as mentioned before, the moment you create something, it's copyrighted. The second your pen hits paper, or your brush hits canvas, or your finger...

what would you do if you won the LOTTERY??

bryanna4 @bryanna4 (49) • United States 23 Jul 08

I always hear people talking about what they would do if they won the lottery. Would you be greedy or would you try to help people in need? Do you think people would actually do the things they say they would? I have always wanted...

money

rabi9634 I think a lot of it depends on how much the winnings are. I'm a poor college student, with lots of student loans that would be paid off really quick if I won the lottery. First and foremost, those would be taken care of, so as not to have them collecting...

Do you want to pay less for gas????

morethanamolehill @morethanamolehill (1586) • United States 19 Jul 08

I can tell you how to bring down gas prices in FIVE words... Stop Paying The Highest Price!!!!!I know, it sounds simple but I see it all the time. I live in a city where most major intersections have at least Two gas stations on...

rabi9634 That's not always going to be the case. If everyone in the country did that, what would happen? Gas prices would end up being fixed. Instead of one being lower than the other, you'll have both the same price. If you want gas to take less of a bite out of...

rabi9634 I usually stick to responding to discussions. I'm not a really big fan of starting them anymore. I figure it's best keeping topics active and not starting something that's already been posted or discussed by someone else. Sure, you're not going to get a best...

rabi9634 I remember being 5 years old (I'm 25 now) and going down there with my uncles for a game. I remember how I thought "wow, I've played in parks that seemed nicer than this", but on the same note, it felt almost as if you were visiting a holy place or a something...

rabi9634 Nuclear is an awesome route for energy, but the simple truth to it is that it's a very dangerous means of providing energy. We live in a world where too many people think blowing things up is the means to solve their disagreements. If we dot the planet with...

Tell me about the filters man!

hcromer @hcromer (2710) • United States 3 Jul 08

Okay, so while looking through my sunglasses I realized that I liked the way everything looks better through them and wanted to translate that into my photos and I thought oh yeah, that must be why people use filters. Basically I...

rabi9634 I tend to shoot without a lot of filters for the most part. The majority of the shooting I do is all low light and I can't afford to lose even a third of a stop for most of it. I have very good UV filters on all of my lenses for protecting the front...

rabi9634 I've never had any good luck listening to a broker. Do your research, stay on top of what peaks your interest, and you'll find some good bargains. I kept an eye on Welwind (WWEI) for a while, bought in, and sure enough it spiked up 500% from what I bought...
