Ask me anything about photography or pornography
 

As it's been a while since I did this and I have been spamming a bit lately. So here it is again.

Ask me anything about photography or pornography and I will try to answer, assuming I know.

Come on ease my conscience for being a spammer.

Can you please tell us about wet plate photography and suggest a good wet plate camera.

Thanks.

When will I be considered a real pornographer like you, Paul? Or any of us for that matter? You did say that you were the only REAL pornographer here.. So what'll it take for us to be real?

Can you tell me why this disposable Kodak camera I bought won't take good pictures of my cats when they are running?

If I were to launch a Fetish content provider business, featuring Gothic content as my main niche.. where should I start ?

Charly...Please allow me........

Digipimp...The best thing to do is photograph the cats fucking first. Then take the film in to the lab and when you get the prints back, Ask the girl at the counter to review the pics with you and suggest a better disposable camera based on the fucking action of the cats.

Charley is short for Chuck:2 cents:

My camera sucks, can you send me a better one?

I'll be god damned if that's what I almost did, I just was really unsure and took this chance to ask an expert. I will consider asking the girl at the counter and maybe upgrading to the $9 camera for better action shots.

Cool. And what is Charly short for?

Genetics ?

Glad I could help.

Sorry for the slight hijacking of the thread "Chuck."

Charly is post-op charley.

have not got a clue, what this is about. I'm probably too young or stupid to know.

Why do I look bad in photos? My mom says I'm handsome.....

Just a general one here Charly but whats the best film to use for the average digital camera

I'm so drunk right now, I have no idea what's going on. Just thought I'd point that out.

What is your definition of "slut" and how do you feel about being a whore?

More interesting is why you do not consider yourself a real pornographer.

I never said I was the only one, I never you were not. So why do you not think you are?

But it's an interesting question, if put like this. "What is the difference between a pornographer and the photographer of naked women/sex acts?"

I think photography is technical and pornography is psychological. Let me explain, though this is a generalization.

Any one can shoot pictures of naked girls; it takes a pornographer to make it look as if the girl was ready to fulfill the viewer?s fantasy.

Anyone can shoot people having sex; it takes a pornographer to make it look like they were enjoying it, doing it to be seen, doing it so the viewer thinks he/she can join in.

Anyone can shoot a girl in leather, thigh boots, chains and with a whip. It takes a pornographer to make her a dominatrix.

The consumer of porn wants to see it in his minds eye, he wants to feel it so much he can taste it.

Do you shoot the fantasy or the meat?

They are not designed for wild life photography, can I suggest you buy a better camera or nail pussies paws to the floor.

Spamming GFY works for me. :1orglaugh

It's short for "Good looking charming dude"

So long as it's fun WGAF.

I'd much rather be considered someone who produces erotica then a pornographer, to be honest.

And for the record, you actually did say that we weren't pornographers, Paul. In one of your little spats on this very board. That's why I asked.

Anyhow I'm going to bed now.

Edit: And for the record, I fucking hate cameras, I don't produce anything that's what I have a wife for. Someone has to have a clue how to run the store.. You could use one too :D

hard one to answer.

When I met your Mum she said I was handsome and would I make love to her, so she must be a good judge. This was a long time ago. Do you look like me son?

I worked for Screen Gems Studios for almost 11 years. I wonder if me swinging one of these Kind of Camera I use
makes me a photographer yet...

Try ClingFilm.

Does TheKing = Pathfinder?

Heh how many fstops are on an old Pentax k1000 50mm NON interchangeable lens :Graucho

Google answers dont count any photographer past 20 years should know this like the alphabet, it was the most popular camera before the Nikons dropped into the game.

Not sure what me definition of a slut is. It's not having a wife being unfaithful because she was not getting enough. Once could be a mistake on her side, twice would be a mistake on my side. But that never happened so I don't know the feeling.

As for being a whore, I don't think I am.

How do you feel, being out smarted by someone you regard as stupid?

http://www.concentric.net/~sherfy/k10001.jpg

From 1975 the worlds best selling camera untill almost the 80s, rivaled only by canon, and then Nikon finally got their shit together and came to pull away from the pack.


Cmon Charly, thats an easy one, I thought you were a photographer dude, its F-2.8 to f-22

I dont know I asked you a question about photography and you couldnt or wouldnt answer it, its photography 101.


:1orglaugh

Ah...but you are.

whore ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hôr, hr)

1. A prostitute.
2. A person considered sexually promiscuous.
3. A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.

Pay specific attention to 2 and 3.

Goodnight Charly, make sure to post a whitty comeback now please that I have left the board

It is difficult for me to understand why some of you people are so obessed with PF. It is difficult for me to understand why you cannot accept the fact that a seventy year old man died of a stroke. Doing a quick search of PF's posts I quickly found at least one post where he had spoke about having had strokes.

On 07-02-2002 PF posted this and actually understated the extent of damage that having strokes had caused him. He had many strokes over a period of several years. It was clear to those that knew him that his memory had been affected, but probably not as clear to those that did not know him as he would have appeared to still be sharp to them. The last stroke that he had prior to his death left him partially paralyzed and with slurred speech. The doctor had told us that he would undoubedtly have a stroke that would kill him and there was not alot that could be done about it. We, the family, were prepared for his death on any given day. He also was a diabetic. At least two people that are members of this board knew him (three counting me) and at least one other member other than myself has posted that he is in fact dead. Read it, learn it, know it and get the fuck over it.

Actually this is new information that I cannot recall ever hearing about. I am old and I have had a few minor strokes that have affected my memory to some extent, so I am not intellectually as sharpe as I used to be. It is possible that this info disappeared as did the "piano lessons".

I am intrigued by it and will read some more about it. One thing I did run across on one of the links:

http://www.thethresher.com/indiscreet.html

"The most frequently cited and circulated source of Bush-Nazi investigations/conspiranoia, George Bush-The Unauthorized Biography (a biography of George Herbert Walker Bush) by Webster Griffin Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin, published in 1992, while well-documented, is also the most suspect. The problem is that Tarpley and Chaitkin are colleagues of the political cult leader Lyndon LaRouche. Not surprisingly, they insist on overlaying otherwise solidly researched data with wildly speculative interpretations. The book, originally published by LaRouche's Executive Intelligence Review, though "out of print," is ubiquitous on the web, and freely used and quoted by Bush conspiranoia buffs of all persuasions."

This makes me think that alot of what is said about this subject will have to be taken with a grain of salt, but apparently the government did take control of the company.

Thank you for the compliment anyhow. PF was a great man, a unique man, a mans man, and a warrior. I have spent most of my life trying to emmulate him (unsuccessfully I might add), may he rest in peace.

Jact I gave you my answer not the dictionary. I do not remember saying that as I do not think I've ever visited your site.

But it's what you think you are that matters, tell me I'm not a prongrapher, call me a shit photographer I DO NOT CARE.

Acuse me of getting old and you have found my Achilles Heel.

I definitely could use someone to run the store, it would mean I could get back to the studio. But then they would have to sell as well as I do.

Clueless is witty? He is a joke...but witty...I think not.

I guess if you did it as a living for 11 years you must be pretty good. :thumbsup

I'd actualy like to use this thread to throw out a good general question about the industry. I know I know, looking for real info on GFY is a crapshoot but what the hell...

Here's my deal, I'm having a very difficult time with models, matter of fact we are 1.5 months late with where we where supposed to be with our content production on our paysites, we had a series of girls before we opened up the studio who where all gung ho and ready to go but alas we have yet to shoot them for various reasons or another. We are running adds in the paper, what other good methods do you sugest for getting models?

Im sure being in the business as long as you have you have tried different methods of getting models and to actualy get them to show up.

VideoVoyeur
Seriously never been into the mechanics of cameras, more about the imge they create.

My first real camera was the Canon A1 which I think went f2.0 to F22 and 30 seconds to 1000th of a second, but don't quote me on that.

As Jact points out I think of myself as more of a poronographer than a photographer. Never had a days treining in either, guess that is why I'm so bad. :(

Too stupid to even see it. :1orglaugh

1. Yes I've sold my body, but I never killed anyone. You?
2. Unlike you, but similar to the woman you marry?
3. I have never comprimised my principles for personal gain.

Getting models, getting the right ones and being able to recognise it, is hard.

I suggest local papers, look for the right readership. Tell all the girls that come for a casting they can earn money by sending their mates. Try local agencies or a good looking boy with charm can always do well in the local disco.

Sorry but there are no easy ways. But at least here we can advertise on the trams and the local radio station came to see us Friday to sell us adverting.

Yes we are doing just that

Referal to the girl if we shoot her friend that she brings in.

Add in the paper (we run 2 one in adult jobs and one in casting entertainment obviously the one in casting/entertainment is tamer)

Gonna start hitting the clubs with our "model cards" business cards that specify our rate and a bit of what we are looking for.

Sounds like we are doing the right thing.

Maybe I should expand outwards to the larger cities of houston and dallas, but if I where to do that I would have to do hotel photoshoots and I was trying to avoid the ol cliche of meet us at this hotel.

Are TheKing and VideoVoyeur the same person?

Would that clingfilm be 100 or 200ASA Charly?

ok listen up boys and girls

Aaron M please be nice about the wet plates because he probably doent even know what a tin-type is either...

Charly, if you think "photography is technical and pornography is psychological" you may be a tad bit distorted in my eyes. I would say emotional and physical would be more accurate. But thats my opinion also..... some of the stuff you said in this thread made more sense than anything i have ever heard you say here

if a hetero chick gets turned on by something...then you should go for it and make some money. Bcuz that means its really hot to the dudes


Video Voyeur....ahhhh the K1000 by pentax. I started on a Minolta srT 101. I have a mint body with a f 1.7 lens that i just love to shoot with.

Ketadream....sweetie pie if you figure out the reliable way to get models to your shoot ...let me know. I will pay you for the formula. BTW how old are you? if are under 40 and have any people skillls you can find places other than hotel rooms to shoot. You just gotta to open about what you do...then people volunteer all kinds of shit...trust me

oh, and Ketadream....never put your "rate" on your business card. EACH SITUATION IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. You have to have a poker face when it comes to quoting a price based on the price she qouted. Its like Tijuana, man

Be very careful with the cards and the local laws, it can be constued in some areas as procuring for immoral purposes. Doing this in small cities sucks normally.
