Whose looking for a top shooter?

I have messaged Dave to get some better samples of his work.

What i don’t understood is actually how you’re not really much more well-liked than you might be now. You are very intelligent. You realize therefore considerably relating to this subject, produced me personally consider it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men aren’t fascinated unless it is one thing to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs nice. Always maintain it up!

Well before reading your post I came in to just say how cool the site was and to throw a kudos to the photographer. it seems hes had a long stint in our industry with producing erotic imagery for us.

But I read your post.

Not sure if youre new or a fake nick. Just noticed you this last year and I tend to match people with traits. Havent figured you much out so I assume youre new.

Paul has marked himself. He has marked himself 'mostly' for the the trolls. Sometimes, vets are trolls when it comes to paul. Sometimes its just, sometimes its wrong. Paul has said some goofy shit! The magic join links is forever branded in gfy history.

But..

Some people forget the good Markham has done. Is he goofy and old, fuck yes! Is he a bad guy, no. Have I ever heard Paul Markham and associates are ripping someone off... no.

message to peeps...

He has fought where other have not. Remember that. Poke fun. good times. but dont insult.

The reason some don't like me is from day one of coming online I was shocked at the level of the porn everyone was selling. And still pretty shocked. Then I didn't make a secret of the fact. I* told people they were selling a bad product.

Was I right or wrong?

Well when I was selling our sets for 10 times non exclusive, than online shooters were getting. I was either a better shooter or better businessman.

Also know the porn buyers are repeat buyers. They're a small % of men and need to be respected as customers, not thought of as idiots to be ripped off. Yes many do think like that. I know selling them a good product keeps them buying, either from that site or from the method of supply. The only impulse is "I'm going to buy this site this month. Because it looks better." Just like they did when browsing a video store or you do when choosing many regular bought items.

I didn't agree with giving away the product for free when trying to sell it, didn't agree selling porn was hard, didn't agree with people who thought they should get paid so much for a join and get every tool possible.

I thought free porn was costing 100,000 of joins. In that people were getting off for free and not needing to buy. I never believed traffic was King. Content is far more important, because that what we sell, what the customer wants, makes him come online, makes him cum and come again. In truth the customer is King and his needs, tell him he wants to be treated like cattle and he will tell you what he thinks.

I don't take BS easily and BS on boards is prolific.

Problem was I was talking to people who thought any old content would do, were only involved in shifting traffic from A to B and were expert bullshitters.

Magic Joins. We had 2 processors in those days. The major one was and still is CCBILL. We had 2 buy links on the join page. CCBILL worked fine. But no one was listening.

Do I care? If anyone thinks a member gives a flying fuck who shot the content, then they're deluded. Unless it's Gonzo.

Look around at you at those who have lasted 34 years in porn and online for 10 years plus. Trolls. I've seen so many of them disappear. Lately they seem to be an endangered species. 3 years after closing the business, we still make money.

See sig.

Im still around after 42 years and loving every minute

Wow!!!

Bet you saw a lot of changes then. It was film in those days. I remember being filmed in 1968. No wasting footage in those days.

Paul listen very fucking carefully

porn is given away for free, nothing you say or do will change that

we know that porn is given away for free.

nothing you say or do will change the fact porn is given away for free

SO FOR FUCKS SAKE SHUT THE FUCK UP MAN

youre like some speed fueled maniac who hasnt sleept for 8 days

so once more for your stupid self.

shut the fuck up man about free porn. you are the epitome of whinging pommy losers

This is what im talking about. This guy only sees the shit Markham spews here on GFY and considers it all Paul has contributed in our industry.

Remember pap... i dont know who the fuck you are other than a fellow frequenter... but... ill say it again. Paul has fought for our industry where others did not. Recognize cunt.

Your shocked at the level of porn everyone is selling, but at the same time your content is horrible. Your content is below average, has zero excitement to it, and has no appeal to surfers.

Then you come on to GFY telling us what's wrong with the industry. Your a fucking photographer, and a crappy one at that. Nothing else. Nothing more.

While agreed on some points... hes a little more than that.

This thread may make me look like a markham fanboy, but im not. I just know and remember what some dont. Certainly not a fan of his photography, but, im also not a fan of slamming an old vet that has acted out for our industry.

Who cares who the fuck he is. You can see that being reminded of the fuck up of giving porn way for free is, upsets him. Not bright enough to figure out that upsetting him makes it all worth while.

Well I was selling it better than all those who were producing better stuff. So maybe you're the wrong one.

Asked this before, was Rochards Bunny Ranch a paysite at one time. Seems now it's just a blog and you work for YNOT.

Thanks for trying, but these trolls will never think beyond next weeks pay packet. They see me as a failure because I wouldn't shoot scenes for $300 when I could shoot them for $3,000. As a failure when other content stores are gone I'm still here, making money from content I shot decades ago, lasting so long and after 3 years of effectively closing the business and not working. Still taking money online.

They look upon success as having millions looking at free porn and spending little. If that's success, I'm obviously too stupid to understand it. I'm stupid and think the way to succeed is to have millions buying it.

They did in the old days, just now with these clever guys supplying them free porn. They don't have to buy.

"...acted out for our industry."

What does that mean to you? He was a second rate photographer/pornographer that has apparently eaked out a living selling porn for the past 30 plus years...and no more than that...from my pov.

recognise what cunt? paul is an absolute fucking idiot. if you are impressed by the bullshit that comes out of his mouth then so be it.

and thats what makes you the fucking troll idiot

you are getting enjoyment out of 'upsetting' people

that is the definition of a troll paul. do you understand that ? of course you dont

i hope in another 25 years i can say i made a living working for myself for 30 years... i think all of us would love to say that one day, paul appears to have accomplished that...

and everyone in here at one time or another has jerked to content worse than what paul has produced i am sure

Did i hear an old man fart again?

Your a troll, but you humor me so fucking much.

Yep seen a big change since working for Kodak then Paul Raymond ( may he rest in peace )
I was shooting models like Theresa May, Sue Shaw,Vida Garman. etc etc. Do you remember Fiona Richmond and her Yellow Jag with the license plate FU2 ? She drove me to a photo shoot in Sheffield at 120mph all the way, scared the shit out of me!!

Never shot Theresa, Sue Shaw I'm not sure about. Shot Vida and she was my make up artist a few times. Great girl.

Never met Fiona.

Paul Raymond was a great guy, used to sit in his office drinking tea with him. Last time I saw him was a few years ago, he was getting out of his Roller with Charles driving and we want up to the offices in the lift together.

His comment was "You coming to give my editors a hard time." It was said as a joke because he knew I would make them look at my work while I was there.

May Paul R.I.P.

The good old days eh!
