Why don't good escorts have good quality images?

[VaHawk]

One of my favorite things about this board is how no thread goes unraveled!

[Guest Love Bubble Butt]

>I wouldn't

>want to work with any photographer that thinks those are good

>photos! (no offense, Les...I know everyone else here

>appreciates your efforts)

 

Hmmm ... I interpreted his post as saying that he liked the subjects of the photos (i.e., hardons and cute butts) rather than the "quality" of the photos. But maybe I'm wrong.

 

But for one thing, Les has posted so many pics from many different photographers. So how can anyone make a blanket comment as to the "quality of the photos" Les posts?

 

And since I don't know squat about photography, I am curious about something Rick. And I honestly mean no offense by this. But what makes the "quality" of your pics any better than the "quality" of the pics that Les posts here? Or are you not happy with the quality of your photos either?

[digicamman]

>How can you slam Les' pix and then say "no offense?"

 

I really think he was slamming me Lucky :-( and not sure why?

 

But he says: "Well, you may have just lost me as a potential client.*****I wouldn't want to work with any photographer that thinks those are good photos!"

 

When I say I like a pic of a hardon or nice butt on Mr. sexy guy posted by Les, it is not meant to be a critique of the technical excellence or quality of the image nor did Les post as such -- it just means I think the guy in the pic is hot.

 

Quite frankly, some of the rankest poorest grade images have carried some very hot porn, but that's a different topic

 

I have taken porn along with high quality stuff -- sometimes of the same person. Doing one isn't mutually exclusive to doing the other. And because someone likes the subject of a technically poor photograph, in no way implies he would himself make a techinically inferior image -- that just begs common sense (no offense, Rick).

You're misquoting me. I didn't use a "frowning" emoticon at the end of my post; I used my usual "tongue-sticking-out" smiley, which indicates that I was being sarcastic. Emoticons are important in online dialoguing (is that right? looks funny) since without them it's easy to misinterpret the writer's feelings. I'm sorry you took it personally; it certainly wasn't meant that way. I'm sure you take nice photos.

> I'm sorry you took it personally; it certainly wasn't meant that way. I'm sure >>you take nice photos.

 

I feel better now. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

:7 ;-) :9 :+

[Rick Munroe]

>I feel better now.

 

Hey, I always say I like to make guys feel good. }( Now, when are you going to post some of those hot photos you've taken so we can see your work?

[Guest Les]

Good going Rick, you managed to insult me, digicamman and Lucky in one thread. Now I'm quite used to you insulting the pictures I post but is it necessary to expand this dislike to others.

Shall I start telling 'whore' jokes? :7

[Rick Munroe]

>Shall I start telling 'whore' jokes?

 

Only if they're good.

[Guest mikeboulder]

speaking of good quality images...

Rick, when are you going to get a new ass pic? The one that you always show when you post must be as old as Carol Channing's mother. Do you have any pics taken this year or last year?

[Rick Munroe]

>The one that

>you always show when you post must be as old as Carol

>Channing's mother.

 

Hi, "mikeboulder." How nice of you to register today just to post this; although something tells me you're not a new member; I'm sure you've posted here before with another alias. Go ahead and say whatever you want about me or any other escort who post here as ourselves. You can all hide behind your anonymous handles and take pot shots at those of us who don't. As for my avatar image: not that you deserve a response, but as Boston Guy has pointed out, that pic is my logo and I don't intend to change it. But thanks very much for taking the time to post, and for your interest in my career. Best of luck to you in yours.

[jackhammer91406]

Hey Rick

I am between a "rock" and a "hard place". I love your avatar as I have said many times. It causes the rocks to be in a hard place. Don't change it ever. I also love the pics that Les posts. I also love the sense of humor that you show in your posts, even the tongue in cheek ones, tho I wish it was my tongue and your...well, you get the idea. Wish this thread hadn't gotten so personal, but I'm thinking it's the general aspect of what's going on in the world that brought out the "best" in everyone. Love those cheeks man.

 

[Flower]

Rick -- "don't let the bastard grind you down" (read or heard that someplace, but it came to mind as I read your post and "Mr. Boulders."

 

Take solice in the fact that we all recognize what an extreme coward "Mr. Boulder" must be x( when he has to re-register with a new pseudonym, specifically to say something shitty, so as to protect his old pseudonym!!

 

Something must really be lacking in his life to have such an identity with a psuedonym:+

 

And if this sounds like I'm kissing your Avatar, I am, so don't change it

[VaHawk]

Perhaps, I'm missing something here, but how does anyone know for sure that this is someone who has posted under another handle before? Are you saying, that this site can trace back to ip address (not difficult at all) to identify those who have multi handles here? (I don't post under any other handle and agree that those who hide behind multi-handles are indeed cowards)! If so, are you saying that HB provides that info to the escorts who post here?

 

It is none of my business if he does, and doesn't bother me in the least if he does, because HB provides a great service to the escort/client business. I feel he wouldn't reveal that info to the escort unless the multi-handle person was another escort or a "avoid at all costs" client, which leads me to believe that if this is a multi-handle poster that he is another escort, who is out to undermine Rick, with his catty comments.

[Rick Munroe]

>Wish this thread

>hadn't gotten so personal

 

Yeah, so do I. I was only giving my opinion of the pics Les chooses to link to here, not Les personally. But then I guess Les felt that, even though I'd said, "no offense, Les" and even though Les had nothing creatively or artistically to do with those photos other than to type in the URL to wherever they were uploaded on the world wide web, that he had to "get back at me" and indirectly call me a whore, and this "other" person created a handle with the express purpose of indirectly calling me old. This is the reason that there are only a few escorts, out of the thousands of escorts worldwide who are reviewed here, who participate in these forums (aside from travel ads). Anytime we post something here, we open ourselves to personal attack or ridicule from people who feel empowered by the anonymity of the internet. But we also get to have verbal intercourse with great guys like you, too, so I guess it's worth it in the end (even my overexposed end).

 

>Love those cheeks man.

 

And they sure love attention. }( Thanks, Jack.

[Flower]

None of the above Hawk -- just that the date of signing up is posted next to each of our names on every post and it just looks mighty suspicious when a poster posts--especially to slam someone here--the very day he signs on.

 

Most posters sign on and then take a while to get the courage to post ;-) so when you see a post by a brand new poster and he signed on that same day, then it's just a good bet he was here before but for whatever reason, didn't want to "soil" his old identity with a shitty post like "Mr Boulder made."

 

At least IMHO :+

[Rick Munroe]

Right on, Flower. That's exactly what I thought, too. I've been here for three years and that's pretty much the way it usually goes down (I love that expression). Oh, and thanks for the avatar-kissing. Keep it up (I will, too). }(

[guyinsf]

So this guy has been around here so long that he thinks the pic of Rick's ass is as old as Carol Channing and yet he just registered before posting his comment.

 

It just doesn't make sense, and I don't mean as in I don't understand it. I mean there is no LOGICAL explanation other than that the guy has been around here longer than this latest pseudonym.

 

I really appreciate Rick's posts. The fact that he hasn't "self-destructed" here -- like some other escorts who have posted regularly in the past -- says something about his sense of humor and ability to roll with the punches. Despite this supposedly being a site to facilitate escorts and clients connecting, the client making an informed choice based on reviews; as well as people being able to exchange information and ideas about escorts as well as other topics, there has always been a small but vocal presence of posters who seem to come here mainly to insult people. I personally just don't understand why someone would spend so much time reading this site if he looks down on escorts (or clients), but I guess some people's main pleasure is trying to bring other people down.

[Guest Love Bubble Butt]

Not cool guy. If you don't have the balls to post under your normal handle, then don't post at all.

 

And by the way, it takes SEVERAL years for the appearance of an ass to change or degrade... and if the guy works out ... it can take many, many years. Butts don't degrade at the same rate as a face. Nothing wrong at all with a one or two year old butt pic. Especially if it is a good one!

[jackhammer91406]

<we get to have verbal intercourse with guys like you>

 

geez Rick,

I hope it will be more than verbal intercourse or are you and Derek gonna run everytime you hear I am cuming to a city near you. HA

I guess I should have put a Icon next to my post as it was not written out of malice but rather good old fashioned fun. I've been reading the male4male escort website for at least 2 1/2 years now but have never posted. I have hired several wonderful escorts from this site and value their friendship as well as their companionship. I meant no offense as I figured my post would be a good way to jump in and get my feet wet. You took the post all wrong. I love when escorts update pics...I figure the more recent the pic the better, regardless of whether it is a "logo" or not. The point was not to bring about a discussion about theories or assumptions as to why I registered today but rather TO SEE A RECENT PIC OF RICK'S ASS. So...I am asking, "When can we see a new pic of the ass?"

[guyinsf]

Yes, you probably should have made more clear your attempt to be playful. When no one knows who you are (lack of previous posts) and your literal words come across as nothing but a personal swipe, how are we to know that you were actually interested in Rick's ass in a positive way? If you had left out the part about Carol Channing's mother and just asked Rick when he would post a new picture of his ass, I don't think you would have elicited the same responses.

>>As a photographer, I have always wondered why TOP QUALITY

>ESCORTS don't get top quality photos? Is it time? Expense?

>Shy in front of the camera? :o

 

Please choose one of the following:

 

A. The photographers happened to be lesbians who were busy playing with themselves during the photo shoot.

B. The photographers were too busy playing with the escorts.

C. All of the above

Hey guys--I've been lurking here for a while and love the board and love reading the funny Rick stuff, insightful Ben and Rod stuff, the nice and happy Chuck and Lucky stuff, the mean and ugly stuff (names omitted cause I'm chicken:) and just this entire community in general. Hat's off to Hoo for the site btw. :7

 

I have read review after review where the reviewer writes "He was much better looking than his pictures" or if he would show off his great bod or face He'd have more business than he could handle." :9

 

As a photographer, I have always wondered why TOP QUALITY ESCORTS don't get top quality photos? Is it time? Expense? Shy in front of the camera? :o

 

I'd really be interested as I'm seriously thinking of opening a studio catering to gay men and boi pics in a gay area of a large city--right now I do advertising and product photography in large metropolitan area and most of my clients are quite str8, prim and proper and belong to the R party -- but have been doing digital pics of actors and escorts for a while now on the side and really like it -- I usually trade time with escorts but many just pay me. Anyone here have any thoughts about whether it could succeed?

 

Thanks for sharing.
