Just back from NOLA.

Every one of those is nice, but these two really stand out to me.

Nice work, Allen.

Hi, Air...

Good shots, and the weather has been great (NOLA is my hometown). Hope your trip was as successful as your photos.

Next time you are in town, give me a call, I am in the phone book.
Joe

It was pretty crappy some of the time we were there. Sunday was beautiful but Monday cold and LOTTSA rain, very windy. It was cold the rest of the week until Thursday and Friday and just beautiful yesterday but we came home yesterday. I will definitely look you up next time we get down there. Thanks for the offer. Its a BEAUTIFUL city with incredible food.

I thought it might be.


I learned something watching Zack Arias' lighting DVD: don't touch the girls. It's okay to direct them, but touching by a guy gets into "creepy guy with a camera" territory, and I agree with him. I've personally seen a guy stroke a girl's hair with the excuse of "fixing" it, adjust her top, etc. and it looked pervy.

i always ask. and i think zack was talking about the body areas.

but about the only thing i touch is hair this falling into the eyes, sometimes i want to pull it back and get a little more of the face. a lot of times you dont want to break the pose and hair falls out of place. it would be great if i were bigger and had an assistant but its just me. thats why i really like it when moms come along with the daughters. i put them to work. but i also agree, over all its better to direct. my wife helps me at times with the girls. i think it get creepy when its just one on one. but im pretty happy go lucky, boyfriends, moms, friends,,its ok with me. i have a big couch so they sit and watch. i actually think it helps the clients relax when someone they know is there.

This might interest you.. look at his work, he talks about that.

I'll quote him :

Of course, there is good people that doesn't act like this, but you know sometimes..

I know this isn't the correct place but I need someone to console me, and you are a pretty cool bunch in this thread... I ordered a 17-40 from mpixs here on potn. He has some good feedback so I felt fine. Sent me a PM regarding my WTB post. I bought it on friday, said he'd ship it saturday. I got the UPS tracking number from him but it is still "unavailable". I'm getting a bit scared, maybe I'm just paranoid though. Call me crazy, but anytime I send a few $100 to some guy on the internet, it does get me a bit apprehensive.

I'd give it another day before you get too nervous. If he shipped it on Sat., it probably hasn't gone anywhere yet, as most of UPS is a M-F operation. Check the tracking info again on Mon. evening and see what you get. I do understand your anxiety though...I bought all my gear, except the G9 on the forum here, and had nothing but good luck, but there is so much scamming going on you always wonder just a little bit. Hope it works out for you!

Matt, for what it is worth, my UPS place tells me that UPS does not pick up on Saturday, unless it is an air shipment. Also, a tracking number may have been issued, but unless the package was picked up, and, tracked (again, I was told that there is no movement on a week-end), you will get the unavailable message. Maybe I am being too optimistic, but I think you are going to be okay. Sometime tomorrow (Monday) try the number again, and hopefully the message will say that it is in transit.
Good luck, Joe

Thanks. I forgot about that. I live in PA and he is shipping from NY. The UPS lady told him it'd be here Tuesday. I guess I'll just check tomorrow when I get back from school.

Talking about anxiety, when I bought my 5D gripped on here for $1300.... First time I ever bought from someone like that, just paypal'ing money to someone. Took me a week or so to convince my parents it was safe. That was some serious anxiety for me. Thanks again.

That gives me a bit of hope again haha. As I said above, I forgot UPS doesn't pick up on Saturdays. You guys are probably right, but I just needed some optimism to help me out.

I just got my 5D last week - I love it!!
