It gives newbie photogs with similar stories -like myself- some hope :)<br />Regarding something specific in this post... I don't know if you ever described this in another blog post or not (I suppose I could look harder..), but I am very curious what your preferred model aesthetic is you speak of. Of course we all know tall and slender with a nice face. But every photographer has a taste in women that really speaks to them, whether it be their features, expressions or general aura. Although sometimes I suppose it's hard to put a finger on it. I'm hoping you will elaborate on your definable taste in subjects... :)alanna gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438587752646680134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722364592267293957.post-47697399754709927272011-04-03T13:50:12.380-07:002011-04-03T13:50:12.380-07:00Thanks Ryan! :)

It takes lots of courage to write a post like this describing things you deal with both in your personal life and in your daily photography work and journey. In addition to the great information to provide to your readers, you aren't afraid to share personal things that you deal with that makes you human. To me it's very cool to see photographers be real, and be humble, not divas. All of us have insecurities in different areas, it's just that many don't speak about it. I have to give you props for keeping it real and for wanting to share your knowledge. I don't know you personally, just know you as my contact on Flickr. Some time ago, you were kind enough to answer a question of mine on Flickr, and I appreciated it. <br /><br />It was also cool to read about how your wife is there to support and help you in some areas of your photography. Those were exact things my wife has done for me when I started shooting models. Even when selecting my final images, she is part of the decision process by giving me the woman's perspective, while I give the male's perspective of course. Luckily, she's also my make-up artist.<br /><br />Keep up the excellent work Charles, and keep it real. :)carlos fabriziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02887775837305651787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722364592267293957.post-30253632824416594442011-03-24T10:57:50.963-07:002011-03-24T10:57:50.963-07:00I remember when I asked you a question on Flickr a...I remember when I asked you a question on Flickr and you responded by creating a whole post about it on your blog and referenced me as the person who asked about it.<br /><br />Every time I send you a message you've been more than happy to respond. I'd say you're pretty damn good at responses. The other photog is probably mad because she couldn't attend your workshops to get the info that she needed from there :D <br /><br />Keep up the great work!Ryan Nancanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722364592267293957.post-5001167223684983342011-03-24T01:42:14.249-07:002011-03-24T01:42:14.249-07:00Hi Jake! :) Thanks for the kind words!

Let me know if the pricing needs to be adjusted since I fear that Erwin and I have priced ourselves out of the competition lol :)<br /><br />Thank you everyone for your support. I will continue to share my battle stories here :) There's so much going on these days that needs to be addressed!Charles Lucimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960242106614495688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722364592267293957.post-8301194224004010592011-03-22T21:32:10.357-07:002011-03-22T21:32:10.357-07:00A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single...A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, thoses steps are the hardest and most memorible, hope to finally meet you soon in May in the bay areaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245826917947297643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722364592267293957.post-50632238580980650222011-03-21T20:07:41.615-07:002011-03-21T20:07:41.615-07:00excellent post! makes me think of my beginnings, t...excellent post! makes me think of my beginnings, then again in still feel I'm still at that stage.Rodney Alanhttp://www.rodneyalan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722364592267293957.post-84614519055588170702011-03-21T00:20:20.493-07:002011-03-21T00:20:20.493-07:00I really respect this post and to be truthful your...I really respect this post and to be truthful your willingness to share so openly is one of the reasons why I follow your blog so closely.
