Are you on Model Mayhem? Share it.

[o hey tyler]

I too created a Model Mayhem account, but the site is just poorly constructed and not worth using. The servers are slow and the photos are not displayed well. The photographers in my area that use it are generally pretty bad, and mainly just use it as a squeaky wheel tactic.

All you need to be successful on MM is a Rebel XT, or D3000, and a kit lens, and scantily clad women. No working knowledge of photography required. Not my scene, but I guess it appeals to some.

To me that says that they are less of being 'gear snobs' than we (photography forums) are. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

cause it is full of free account members. If you look at the premium members, 90% of them are super good.

I'm not talking strictly gear, I'm talking about a working knowledge of photography, which you conveniently didn't quote in my post.

I'm talking based on what I've seen, and Shwetty, I've seen some "premium members" in my state. Not what I'd call good.

I also seen really good photographers on MM from my area.
Too bad for you your the only good photographer in your area. :lmao:

I'm not trying to talk myself up, and I'm certainly not saying I'm the best in my area. I'm just saying that Model Mayhem is not a place I'd like to associate myself with because it's not the type of work that I find tasteful. I'm talking about SPECIFICALLY my area. Do you understand?

But the MAIN REASON I don't use the site is because it's poorly designed. First and foremost. It's just not convenient to use, and hasn't been updated in at least 3 years.

If I wanted a poorly designed social networking site with lots of photos, I'd make a myspace account.

Edit: Er, sorry, I googled it. Myspace is now going by My_____ to be new and edgy.
