It's great to still be making money 25 years after you did the work.
 

And bringing back some very nice memories.

As my own stalking troll has been pointing out, I'm scanning old negatives. Yes it was shot for the photosets I used to sell via the post. Can you imagine selling a set of 10 photos for $16. I can remember it. :thumbsup

One of the most beautiful girls I ever shot.

Page 3 girl. Good friend as well, she lived local.

Escort and part time model. I got free samples. LOL

Thai and worked as a secretary for a while. She had to go. We spent to much time fucking and not getting any work done. But remained good friends.

Finding some real treasures in the cupboard, so glad I cleared it out.

Paul, do you want me to send you the money for a proper scanner? You can get them for a couple of hundred quid. Then you could scan the negs rather than the pages of the magazine.

Is that a big bruise around her mouth?

Still some more old ones.

Brazilian and very very naughty.

Anyone here from the UK and older than 40 will remember Sharon Kayne. Another page 3 model.

Send it and prove you have the money. And not just dreaming you do.

These are very old negatives and no scanner for a few hundred quid will do a better job, what bruise RT? :1orglaugh

What model scanner are you using now, if it is as bad as it looks, I will send you a new one. Just want to know how much you spent on something for your business that produces results as bad as that. It honestly looks like they are the mag pages you are scanning!

LOL, quick edit on both the pic and the post but she still has a bit of a split lip :)

I saw the one you are referring to before he deleted it.

Looked disgusting, like she had some skin disease.

Were these photos taken in your cottage?

Question...
 

Can someone update me to where we all are with the "hating Paul Markham" situation at the moment... is this guy not his own worst enermy ?

Seriously Paul you must enjoy the attention or something, or maybe you have some kinky fetish for pain... cause when you post you really really do set yourself up (sigh) :Oh crap

I can smell the musty old magazines from here.

.

We have a Nikon Coolscan 4000 and a Nikon SF-200

So send something better please.

I find it hard to believe a machine like the coolscan 4000 produced such shit scans.

Are you sure you set it up correctly?

You doing color correction in PS afterwards?

Somethings going horribly wrong.

:(

Great find, a document of the times where sexyness wasn't invented yet ...

The hating started years ago when I was telling people the crap they were putting in their members area was crap. They told me it was because the buyers wanted this type of porn. Which was a lie. It was the best they could afford or shoot. And hated me for reminding them of the fact.

10 years on and some have some money, everyones shooting what they said the online porn surfer didn't want. :1orglaugh

Then me telling them traffic wasn't king, because getting it was easy. It was, the problem was they needed so much to get a single buyer.

10 years on .................................

Well you know the story.

Idiots like Damian love to hate, sitting in his one bed rented flat, punching away on the computer in his living room. It pisses him off no end that with all the skills he thinks he has, he hasn't made any money with them.

Now he has this news. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14077651

Me I never gave much thought to what trolls thought of me. Which has to be a lot of the haters.

Yes RT I quickly corrected it. You were good to spot that. :thumbsup

What scanner do you use?

Paul please don't talk about "crap" content then post those hideously composed and poor quality examples of yours. Any hate for you was well earned on your part.

.

the hatred come because you endlessly pontificate on how to do things when you are a clueless old man about everything except for photography and even with that - as this thread proves - you are mediocre and barely passable.

Those samples were shot 25 years ago on negative film. For the time it was great, for today it's not so great. But instead of ignoring advice from better shooters, I listened and learned.

The stuff online porn people were selling back in 2000 was either crap or the shooters were clueless businessmen. Because there were markets that would of made their content production side free or even profitable before it got to a paysite. They weren't good enough or they wouldn't of been filling sites with content that was paying them shit money. Money we refused.

Truth was they WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH and most still aren't when it comes to shooting sets. As for videos, well the consumer is the best judge of that. Members ares are clearly not good enough in todays market. They can't compete with a Tube full poor quality resolution streamed video.

When someone can give away a product for free, that you're trying to sell, and the consumers prefer it. Then the product isn't good enough.

porno jew I was telling people 10 years ago where this industry was headed. I saw it happen to offline, I knew filling sites with crap content and spending a fortune to get people to look at free porn was fucked up. So not that clueless.

You're not even bright enough to realise I'm not a photographer, even though I've said it a 1,000 times. I'm a pornographer and businessman.

I just compare the signatures of the haters with mine to see who has a clue. Why do so few of you have anything of any worth in your sigs?

http://www.caseyanthonypics.com/ PJ is that the best you can do? :1orglaugh

Congrats on your accomplishment princess.

who are you tell anyone about how too shoot porn when your stuff is crap?

this is the source of the "hate."

i could post one of my self-shot cock pics in my sig and it would be worth more than your whole content store.

Well 34 years for a guy who doesn't have a clue is pretty good. I suppose if I'm so crap and others couldn't sell their work to magazines, they had to be worse. Or is there anther logical explanation?

Not the Bullshit "I couldn't be bothered" or "I was earning to much to bother." or "It was back in the 1980s.". Because when you read those excuses you realise how stupid people are for believing them.

I couldn't be bothered to to earn even more money, to pay a decent shooter to take over that side of the business and make us both even more money. Or that better paying markets existed well into the days of online porn.

Remember Vid Viscious? Great shooter, went to work for DVD because it paid better.

Remember Perfect Gonzo and the great content they had. Lost their shooter to Evil Angel, I was told it was them, because they paid him better.

Look around and how many custom shooters, who worked in offline porn? A few today only because of the damage online porn has done to the whole industry.

And more and more people migrate away from working in the online porn business.

Put down the spliff and go do some work.

It's hard to believe you're making any money off anything you shot 25 years ago.

With your proven history of lying about sales, it's not a big leap to thinking you're just making shit up, again.

No paul the hating started when you pretended to know anything about internet porn and marketing on the internet.

Though the good news is that 80's style porn still holds some value for older surfers :)

I can't fap to this:(

Those pics are horrible. I just barfed in my mouth.

seriously? this is your attempt at staying relevant? i think that expired 10 years ago dude.

Yes. Rarity. You worked at a time when porn was illegal to make and distribute in the UK, didn't you?

Very few people did it. You didn't need to be good, as your work in this thread proves beyond any shadow of a doubt. You needed to be prepared to break the law and be a criminal.

You were prepared to do that, and it paid off. You spent a few years making a few bob, no doubt. YOu built up lots of content you then sold cheaply on the internet. You tried and failed to make some pay sites. (Remember the 5 buck sites, they were funny).

Now, you are rich and living in your huge house badly scanning bad porn waiting for your wife to come home from work to cook your dinner.

As you shout at clouds.

Hope that helps clear it up for you.

:1orglaugh

10 years later and traffic is still king. Just ask Manwin. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that one of their large tube sites, you know the model based around traffic, nets more in a month than you've made in your entire 30+ year career. Certainly combined their properties do. The only real question is by how large of a factor?

You might want to send a quick note off to Google and tell them they're doing it wrong. If they'd only spend more time creating their own content and less time worrying about traffic (which is apparently EASY to get), think of how successfull they might have been!

Kinda like asking which betamax player do I own, isn't it?

I don't know anything about photography and I have no beef with Paul Markham and I generally don't go around trolling, but all I can say is if I had to choose between a Sears catalogue and those photos posted above as jack-off material, I would choose the Sears catalogue. Those photos aren't attractive at all.

Quiet would agree.

That's because Sears uses a pro shooter..:thumbsup

Old photos can be fun when they look good.

goofy fucker

whoops

I think Paul's point in this thread was to say its great to be making money out of shoots he made 25 years ago.

Astral blue will no doubt be remembered by many older guys who may well be searching Google for some pics or movies of her, as they used to enjoy wanking off to her when they were younger.

I just Googled Astral Blue and Pauls site was the top result.

Therefore, no doubt some guys are paying to look at her content.

Good call I'd say, we all have models from the past we would love to see more of, and the internet is not 100% based around guys who want to see more of Alison Angel or some other well known model from the last 5 years.

Old porn will always sell to the older guys, don't knock it. We still sell hundreds of memberships a year to guys after sets with girls we shot 10 years ago.

:)

:thumbsup

Great work, where can I buy those ?:winkwink:

I love this more than the modern versions you lot use, it's 25 years old and still sells on retro sites

this old content blows

A +2? Thats not even a "real" Spectrum! :1orglaugh

I never did have a real Spectrum, so I'll never know what that feels like. Instead I had the one that was more like an Amstrad

Before that I spent many years with my Mattel Intellivision, until my father eventually agreed to the +2


Nextdoor neighbour had a C64, so we were normally around his

Were people supposed to get off to that? None of that looks appealing, or sexy.

So glad I (mostly) grew up in the age of Internet porn.
