To my comrades at home base
[QUOTE=CookyJar;3285735]It's taken me nearly 5 years, I have finally lost my Wilmington, Delaware cherry. Thanks to a lady named Noia or maybe Nolia. Big thanks and shout out to those Delawareans who aided me with the name of a street and a few cross streets. It took me a minute, but I figured it out with a little trial and error.
After driving on East 4th Street to the end, I realized that I was in the wrong area. The looked similar to many Philadelphia neighborhoods, but it didn't have the right feel. I turned around and headed back on 4th Street. Things seemed to be looking up when I came to what looked like a housing project, with a hot little cutie walking in the parking lot. I drive into the lot parked and waited. She passed me by, turned into a dwelling without give me a second thought.
I was feeling just a little frustrated as I reentered 4th Street and drove back towards Center City Wilmington. I continued to the end of 4th street, a died end and turned around. I was about to give-up for the day. As I passed a side street, with a large sign, "Welcome to Little Italy," I saw her. I drove pass and there wasn't anywhere to park or pull over. I continued down and did a loop around the block. Nothing! And! I couldn't even be sure she was working. The neighborhood seemed right. As I made that loop, everything seemed to fit. But! She was gone, so it didn't matter. Just as quickly as she had first appeared and then disappeared, she reappeared; there she was, sitting outside of a local corner store. I stopped, pulled over, backed up and parked as any patron would. I checked my rearview, side view and front. Then I looked at her, she smiled back and the rest is history.
Thanks to my Delaware brethren, my Delaware Cherry has been broken. I now not only know the location of one stroll (and possible another, thanks to Noia), I also know the location of Delaware's equivalent to Phillies Carlisle Hotel.
Noia or Nolia is a very nice lady with a very nice friendly personality and a pretty nice body. As soon as I can edit her pictures, they will be posted. I am still stuck here in Delaware, staying in a pretty nice hotel. The editing will have to be done in between my duties here. It may take me a few days. Now that I have found the stroll, my trips to Delaware will not be as boring.
Thanks again,
CookyJar.[/QUOTE]I am posting this to let my friends in Philadelphia know that I am still visiting Delaware. I have not abandoned my comrades in Philly.
And, to my good friend The Glockman.
[QUOTE=Glockman;3284809]Another tough question. What I appreciate most about my work ...[/QUOTE]I have every intention of continuing this discussion. I am finding it extremely fascinating. It appears that some others are enjoying this kind of give and comment, too. I maybe slow with my replies, even though I read the thread frequently.
During my last quick trip back home I was able to pack a few small drives, so I now have access to a few folders. I will look through them, select a few picture and post my thought, ASAP.

RE: Random thought about cropping
[QUOTE=RoaminRoman;3282746]IMO, cropping doesn't [U]necessarily[/U] disqualify a photo. But, with cropping, one doesn't want something [B]in[/B] the frame to lead the viewer's eyes [B]out[/B] of the frame. Long legs, when cropped, generally tend to do that. Cropping of the models demonstrating your "shrimp pose" seems to do that. A couple suggestion: (1) Crop at the knee rather than at the ankle. (2) Get a tight zoom, cropping at the knee or just before (on the thigh side), and take the photo from a slight angle so that the model's face and breasts are captured with the thighs and jewels. (3) Alternately, modify the "shrimp pose" such that the model bends her legs at the knees and brings her ankles down to a point where they are almost touching her thighs. Then, with a tight zoom, take the photo from about a 15-degree angle off of straight-onward so that you capture the face and perhaps (but not necessarily) the breasts. Another benefit of flexing the legs is that is avoids the generally negative effect of foreshortening of the legs
[B]Roman[/B][/QUOTE]Believe me, I appreciate your point.
One problem I sometimes have is picture size, meaning the width and height. Often, I will have a nice picture of a girl in a horrible distracting background. Too much cropping and I will end up with a small narrow picture of just the girl, which is distracting by itself. Other times, I will have a pretty girl with long pretty legs, a nice background and dirty feet. If I don't crop out her feet and post the picture showing her nice legs; a ton of viewers will see nothing but her feet. I don't like cropping at the ankles, sometimes it's necessary.

Another of my favorite poses – The Over the Shoulder Pose
[QUOTE=Glockman;3284809]She is comfortable with what she is doing. And she is totally in charge. I see lots of pictures in the gallery where the lady is extremely uncomfortable and looks like she would rather be anywhere else and doing anything else. I would never take that picture, much less post it. When I take a picture, I want the lady to be either looking straight into the camera or else to be totally oblivious to it. If she is looking into the camera, I want her to be saying to herself "Glock, not only will I show what you want for the camera, I'll show you even more!" If she is oblivious to the camera, I want her to be saying to herself "I'm in ecstasy at the moment enjoying myself but you can take my picture!" I think that I manage to convey that with the ladies ...[/QUOTE]Man, do I agree with you. I hate those pictures where the subjects look like they're in pain and would rather be anywhere else.
My problem is one of time. I don't have a lot of it. My models are usually in a hurry to get back to whatever it was they were doing before I picked them up. I don't have the luxury of positioning and repositioning.
With this position I will have them move to a wall, dresser, table, bed or anywhere natural. Then I'll take up my position and once I am where I want to be, I'll say, "Look back at me."
Take the picture of Maylea for example. If I tell her to get on her knees and move forward, shes probably thinking that I just want to get a picture of her ass. She'll move forward and keep looking forward if I don't tell her otherwise. So, I'll say, "Look back at me," and wham-o.

Another of my favorite poses – The Over the Shoulder Pose
No, this isn't my favorite pose. I do have a favorite, but this isn't it.
It's not one pose it's a category of poses where the girl is looking over her shoulder.
[QUOTE=CookyJar;3282580]I am going to try a put together a few categories and then put forward some of my favorites in each group
What do you think?
CookyJar.[/QUOTE]Whether she's nude, dressed or somewhere in between, no matter the position, when the girl is looking back over her shoulder the face enhances the picture.
Even if she doesn't want to smile or can't smile for some reason, I can catch the eyes and let them make the picture.
What do you think?

RE: Greetings From Memphis
[QUOTE=Glockman;3313039]There hasn't been much activity on the forum lately, so I thought I would post a couple of photos from my session with Sunny yesterday. One is the over the shoulder pose for CookyJar. The other is a shrimp pose for Cephlapod Love. Sunny is an escort from Memphis available to a few good men, of which I am one![/QUOTE]Wow! Glockman! Sunny is super-hot.
Yes, the over-the-shoulder pose is one of my favorites. When you are in a hurry and time matters, the over-the-shoulder pose can be a session saver. It's a basic shot that accentuates the girls face. When you compare Sunny face in the two pictures, the difference is so dramatic; it doesn't look like the same girl. The over-the-shoulder pose emphasizes facial features. It highlights the eyes the windows to the soul.
