24 Who is this girl? Did you ever photograph her? Why not?
This is Lauren ? a truly beautiful girl and daughter of one of the webmasters I was helping out. They had brought her to Internext for her first time. I did not photograph her and the reason is very simple ? trust - and also I am married. SheDevil would take the picture instead
jk
Honestly - I am paranoid about being caught in a situation that would bring negative comments or rumors towards me when I am representing a company. You will never find in all the 12 years a girl saying I treated her with disrespect or attempted to make out with her etc. at a show. Simply is not my nature. I avoid being in any situation alone with a girl whether it's in a room etc. so that no opportunity for misunderstanding would arise. Unless we were long time friends it simply isn't going to happen. Not too mention I have spent too long developing a strong reputation of trust among webmasters and company's that if something did happen - my "word" and "name" would be questioned in the future and I have worked to hard for to say with meaning, "my word is my bond" and not be doubted.
Even if she asked by her, I had the parents trust not to do anything and I wouldn?t. I am not going to manipulate a girl into a photo shoot or anything else. Now I know at times that I stick out like a sore thumb at shows when it comes to this ? but I am there for business, not pleasure and certainly not to take advantage of girls
Funny thing about this trade show in Florida that is a true story; a guy apparently hit up Lauren with a fake Hustler business card near the pool saying he wanted to take naked pictures of her up in his room. She came to me afterwards and asked if it was real saying, ?he has on a Hustler t-shirt!!?
I smiled saying I have 3 of those at home myself and going into the showroom floor and grabbing a handful of business cards doesn?t make you a Hustler photographer. There are rules and regulations on how they shoot content or any professional shoot. Thankfully I was there to stop her from making a terrible mistake and allowing some webmaster kid from taking advantage of a girl who was naive.
