When you shoot this level come and talk to me. Until then watch others and learn. These were shot by friends who do respect what I did and realise I was in a different field. They have both worked for me and taught me something.

The work that went into the shooting of documentary was a few times more than the porn shot - after all thats what is was - one shot - of the girl doing all the work.
Maybe because it was worth more, shot for a different market.

You are ill, so hire a cameraman, and you direct, put your ideas into reality. No, you just took all the money, and blame the lameness on your illness.
Could another shooter do what I wanted, could Sandra have done what I wanted with more in the room than her and me. You must of seen the part where we were discussing if the other 2 should go for a coffee. It was her decision.

But the trouble is you have no ideas, no creativity, no understanding of culture, photography, film making ...and all who see, see that . You have the ability to post and post till others lose the will to live.
And you have no understanding of porn. Well the porn I shoot. It's about bringing a real girl to the scene, presenting her as a person, not a dumb blond. Showing the fun she has and getting her to convey that to me via the lens. You shoot plastic porn, IMO. It lacks heat. Yes it's clever, but clever isn't porn.

And most of all there is no sex in the clip, no sexual tension, flirting, energy or anything...
You must of watched a different scene.

I like the excuse for not having a paysite in Czech republic, the girls don't speak English, yes , we prefer really ugly English girls as long as they speak good English.

All those beautiful Czech girls I can't look, their English is too poor !

You live in Babe central, you are a video genius, you understand marketing, but you couldn't make a paysite that made money....
And there you hit the nail on the head. You don't understand the porn I shoot. I don't shoot just good looking dumb girls, girls who can trot out the same porn phrases scene after scene. I connect with models and get them to the real them into a scene. Tough today, tough with a girl who has done so much work and very tough with a 61 year old with obvious failing health. Yet did a pretty good job.

100s can shoot a dumb model. It done day after day and why so much traffic is required to get a sale.

Our problem is you and I are 2 entirely different things. You're a trained cinematographer. I'm a pornographer. My level of work sells well in porn otherwise I wouldn't of lasted so long. You can't see it and won't try. I can see how some of your work will sell. Not your stills, they're not good enough.
