I think I might owe an apology....

[DeanP]

While I wasnt at the workshop, and not trying to hijack anything. From the looks of your images, your a very beautiful lady. Would love to work with you sometime.

You owe no one an apology ... a very beautiful woman at what ever size!!!
Was glad to have gotten to work with you!

DeAnn and I both totally understand Toni. She didnt get on the official list for this very reason. has nothing to do with instructors,mentors, or organizers of the workshop...she just understands that alot of the photogs go to photograph the top models. so she decided to opt out after the way alot of the photogs in Vegas looked right passed her when it was her turn in the rotation. Sad really that alot of photogs dont want to or dont see the beauty in women that arent the "IDEAL" model but a fact in the glamour photography business none the less. I apologize to all the models I didnt work with in South Padre, I wasnt feeling up to my game and felt I'd serve them better by spending my time shooting DeAnn and working on Head shots when models were available, I just felt I would let the photogs in my group have more quality time with the models if I opted out of the group.so to the Models I apologize!

Whats up roommy!
Glad to see that you made it back alright.
I wish you wouldn't feel upset, I think you did just fine. Maybe I need to fly out there and we should just go have a girls night out. If I had the money I would....just to cheer yha up! We will make sure Stacey comes too so she can do a kick ass job with the makeup!
Your pics will turn out great, don't fret.
I think you are thinking to much because that is what I do, all of the time.

Before I went , I was so nervous. I wasn't sure who I was romming with, the cab ride was a mystery until I got to the air port, nothing was planned out for me. I am one that really lives with a schedule. If that schedule is not there I freak. When I met you in the hotel you were so sweet to me, my worries were quickly starting to disappear, and I had a BLAST! I think we both did.

Let me know if you ever need someone to talk to.
I have someone that I call everytime I want to rant, just to get it out. It makes you feel much better, trust me!
Catch yha later....and I know your pics will be great!!!!!

Heya girlie, I'm not really upset, and I had a great time. But it occured to me as the S&T pics started coming in that I probably wasn't what was expected. It's funny because all weekend I kept hearing how I looked totally different than my images.

This isn't a poor me post, as I am very happy with who I am and what I have accomplished.

You were a great roommate, and I'm glad to have met you.

Damn, you're hot!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

That's my best technical assessment of you and your port!! hehehe

My best to you, Miss T.

I'm not sure if any of us were what others expected, Hon, and that's what made the event and meeting one another extra special! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm taking a breather from editing and decided to go some fast tone work on some of the images we created. When I say fast, that's mostly because they required minimal Photoshop work. What was that dK said as he was shooting with you and I was playing reflector boy? "Skin like porcelian," as I recall.

Thanks for a fun shoot and for far-exceeding any expectations I had about you!

Can't blame my reflector boy on that one (though it's damned tempting too)! Nope -- just me out of position to get it right when they cracked up, so taking the hit for it.

Thanks for the praise, Don, very much appreciated! Toni and I had a lot of fun working together.

Here's one of yours Toni. Next time I want it all [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] er I mean more time.
Since I was trying something out of my comfort zone on this one, I rather like it.
