It's a great example of the business skills of online porn. I doubt if it has got any better. Most are stuck in a rut and remain there. Yes the time to change on that level is gone. Still is illustrates that the people many regarded as gurus, weren't so bright. Weren't and aren't.

But more importantly, why are you not only continuing to use 'could of' instead of 'could have', but increasing it's rate of use? You have the correct information. I handed it to you on a platter. Yet you choose to be wrong. Continuing to use 'could of' is infinitely more likely to drive others crazy than to result in it ever being correct. The whole thing is really just a microcosm of your gfy existence. lol

Just goes to show that you can take a tosser out of Staines, but you can never take the Staines out of a tosser.
I could of given a shit.

My point exactly.
Quoting Cherry illustrates your level of thinking. He's wrong on this point and stupidly shows it. Do you think the top glamor guys were not selling to advertising companies? That's what companies like "Picture Bank" were for. Illustrates a level of intelligence that good grammar won't hide.

In saying this, you prove that improving at your craft was secondary to making money. That's fine in some cases and even the preferred mindset for some fields, but having that mindset in a creative field, especially one that evolves with a high level fluidity, will almost always come back to bite you in the ass.
Stupid statement and you need to look at my work over the last 30 years to see how wrong it it. My craft wasn't photography, don't make the mistake of following Cherry down that route.

Great quote. An architectural photographer friend of mine had a page on his website mentioning his availability to do weddings. It stuck out like a sore thumb. Here's his site. http://thomascummins.com/
One guy is everyone.

"The skill of shooting people is your level of 'People Skills'.
The photography part is very easy compared with that."

Yes getting a camera to work right is easy, knowing how to get a model to work right is much harder.

Jimmy think harder before you post.
