Streetwalker Reports

[StanleyStankas]

I think the Vegas guy that Stosh mentioned said he uses a dashcam to get the pictures. Might be easier than trying with a camera or phone.

-w.

Yep you are right and one of the guys out there does mention a dash cam. I know on the big blue bus we had the "snitch" which really was more of a crash cam and only took a certain straight ahead and into the bus view plus sound. Only triggered when the bus was disrupted. So again knowing nothing at all about this I am really learning and so grateful that ump reached out and the guy responded. Thing of it is catching them in their natural habitat without them being spooked by knowing one took or is taking a pic. I would think that a huge lens or really great cam would be very difficult to do and still be so discrete. I mean those dudes out there have their own problems with the pandemic and since the tourista are not coming back in droves the SW are few and far between. So I would hate to 50 question them about back here, however if one looks into their forum and goes down to street slots one can see some past prior to pandemic work. That stuff is so good as he is literally right on top of these b*tches and they are completely clueless. I mean the few that are looking his way possibly feel something might be up, however again imo they don't know they are being captured. Again I am very grateful to the guys that take the time to take pix for us and hopefully there will be more. I even think that we would be allowed to have a thread for that. Out there the guy doesn't answer questions and deletes everything but his pictures. If one wants to comment, which I have done in praise, one can do that on the SW thread. Thanks again to all. Stosh.

Thought I'd share some locations on girls I've found recently.

Southside:

79th & Ashland.

75th & Kimbark.

MLK & 65th.

Halsted & 76th.

118th & Avenue D.

Northside:

Lawrence & Monticello.

Lawrence & Spaulding.

Clark & Lunt.

Cicero & Barry.

West Side:

I know the west side always has girls but I've been avoiding it lately. 5th is good for BSW at times, but any WSW over there is always a hardcore junkie with track marks everywhere. Kenton & Madison is always active. Madison and California used to be decent but haven't check it out in a while. Pulaski around Grand has been active, but haven't "played" there in a while.

You should add Exchange Ave 76th thru 79th mostly crackheads. Thanks for the correction of 106th and Avenue D I would have never known.

As commented on earlier, I contacted someone from the Vegas board, which often seems to have good pictures. The reply follows.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but the biggest issue with trying to take pics of SW is the lens. The zoom on most phones is really not a zoom but is done electronically, thus crapping up the picture. Add to that the fact that the more you zoom in the harder it is to get it steady and that shooting at night forces a slower shutter speed (thus less clear), and you have the makings of crap. If you use a real camera with a great lens, go for the highest ISO (used to be ASA) and longest lens, and steady against something. With a phone or real camera, when zoomed in, brace against something to hold it steady, or at least, steadier.

As for posting, the pics on any modern camera are going to be large. USA has a size limit on pics and sometimes won't accept them. Scale them down. If you have a Mac, that is easy as you can use Preview to do that. I am sure there is something similar on a PC, but I am not a PC person, much. You can also use an online service, put it your huge pics and have it scale down in real time. If you scale to 5" x 7" at 72 dpi, it will be small enough to upload quickly and yet still good enough quality to look good on computers.

If that isn't the info you wanted, ask specifically.

By the way, I know my Hotmail has a function when sending pictures that specifically asks before sending if the user wants a smaller scale picture. I didn't really know what that meant, but thought of it when this issue arrived in this forum.

The part about the Hotmail was mine, not C3.

How frequent have you seen them here?

I have family out this way and I can't even fathom the idea that they'd be so close LOL.

I picked up a white girl on 106th during daylight. I'm not sure if that's a legit stroll or just a seedy area that they pass thru. I know there's some state line rd strolls around the Hammond area which is kind of the vicinity I was in. Check the Indiana board for those details.

Same. That's my neck of the woods. I've never seen or picked up a SW there. It's not a legit stroll. It's not really a seedy part of town either. But anything's possible I guess. Seems like you were at the right place at the right time. I'll definitely keep my eye out from now on that's for sure LOL.

Thanks for the advice StanleyStankas. And for the motivation! For me it's hit or miss just to upload them on to this sight. I have a professional Canon camera, but it's too big to shoot pictures at these ladies in there natural habitat without looking conspicuous. I'll keep at it and share with my fellow mongers. Haven't seen much LEO around 5th or Grand Pulaski during the day. Went out 5 days in a row between 11 am -4 pm not one cop car in these areas. Traffic has been a zoo during the times. Also not much SW selection.

Have anyone seen Ashley a dirty blonde WSW working off 5th near viaduct. Not answering phone so maybe locked up again.

[Ump1969]

I wouldn't begin to tell someone the proper way to use a screwdriver. It seems to me the most and best pictures I see are on either one of the Florida boards or Vegas. Maybe I'll make a query there unless someone beats me to it or has a better answer.

The site needs to limit the size of a pic when it's loaded? However, on the vegas forum there is a guy that does the same thing and his are clear. Either way keep at it because I for one really appreciate your efforts! Another thing that comes to mind is prior to loading them you might try changing the format on one of those sites that you are given choices on where you are loading it up on to (email, website, forum, et al). Course I have yet to find a free one that doesn't stamp the picture with their logo. Anyway yea I am sure there are some of the guys that actually know what they are talking about that will throw their views in here. Really I am just posting to say thank you! We don't get much at all of this kind of surveillance. Stosh the voyeur!

Has anyone seen or heard from Shawana or Selena / Cici They used to frequent Cic from Full to Arm. Just wondering. Pm or post is fine. Enjoy.

I saw Selena riding a bike on Armitage near Kostner about 2 weeks ago, think it was July 5 around 10 am. I was in a hurry and didn't stop. She lives on that small one way north street. Have to get a map but its near the grocery store.

. I haven't seen Russian Tatiana in a year.

Man, neither have I and I sure miss her. Back when she had a workin phone, she was my go to when I couldn't find anything on the streets. My buddy and I use to hit her up at 2 or 3 in the morning after we left the bars and she was always down meet up. We would take turns, one of us drove around while the other smashed her in the back seat and then switch. She always took it like a champ. Some of the best head in the game too. Now I only have old videos of her saved on my computer to reminisce.

[ChiTownGuy76]

All pictures are welcomed!

I tend to have better results recording a video then doing a snapshot of the frame of the video image I want to post. I just find it hard to take a pic while car is moving. I have a small old Kodak playsport video camera similar to a Flip camera which has a decent zoom and 1080 p /720. I also try my dashcam, which is great if they are crossing the front of your car like while crossing a street.

Cheers.

I saw a 5 foot 4 HSW about 30. Long wavy black hair, ok build, not huge top, nice ass walking from Belmont heading to Diversey / Fullerton direction. From my car she looks to be a 8 on scale of 10 for streetwalkers but a 6 in real non streetwalker life. Looked very clean. This was on a early Sunday morning. I thought she could be a worker. I saw her walk into the alley near the gas station past wellington. I pulled up and asked if she needed a ride. She had a blank look on face. I asked again and got nothing. Ok maybe I was wrong. The following week I saw this same girl walking across Fullerton heading to Belmont direction. I thought, ok she is a resident of the area. I was initially wrong. Pretty girl. On a Sunday morning 5 am ish I was riding Cicero and saw her standing alone by the funeral home. I though yahtzee she is a worker maybe was just cautious. I parked on side street and walked up to her (yes I was desperate) and asked if she needed help. Same blank stare. I said do you speak Spanish, same blank stare. I also said I'm not police. Nothing. I got back in car. I saw a blue truck pull up to her and roll window down. An obvious monger. Nothing, she ignored the truck and truck did a uturn back to look for more. I continued driving on Cicero and eventually saw her standing across from the wellington hot spot just a block down near the car wash. She saw me and looked directly at me. I've seen her often very early morning alone. I asked "shorty" if she new this girl or would drive with me to talk to her. Shorty said the girl was probably beaten or very cautious. Anyway. If anyone has any luck with her, please report back. Ill try again because she is a worker. No regular girl stands alone near corners and walks Cicero slowly staring at phone. Well JB does. If I manage to get this girl in car, it would be worth the pursuit.

On side note, kimberly no longer on Cicero and wellington early morning. JB still walking in black heels with cell phone looking at phone, shorty hangs by gas station on fullerton and Pulaski. Looked great in black yoga pants and clue silk top but kept biting her fingers. I haven't seen Russian Tatiana in a year. I no longer see Sylvia walking the streets, she was hiddeous. Also I did see Mexican veronica recently walking but passed. She is way too chatty and looks pregnant. I haven't seen her hot friend who probably is the best looking HSW but arrogant personality.

Cicero early Saturday and Sunday morning is dry. I peruse usually 5 am to 7 am and the pickings are slim. I avoid late night through early 4 am because that is just asking for trouble. No good comes from being on Cicero during those times. Also its really obvious to me which cars on Cicero are looking for fun. If I notice this, you bet police notice it as well.

[StanleyStankas]

Can anyone explain to me why my pictures come out blurry on this website? I shoot them on my iPhone, they are extremely clear on my phone and my iPad. Should I be using a professional camera? I use my phone because it's light and compact.
