as you could guess, most of the models aren't that attractive until makeup and photoshop are involved, and the ones that are attractive naturally are incredibly vapid and not fun to be around.
you'd think this would have lessened my enjoyment of dating models...  |
Haha that's funny ^.^.. and the male ego comes out..
But honestly... Thats so cool what is your main style in photography? (other than what your employed to do) mmmm... whats Orly like? |

President Park and I hung out a few weeks ago and had steak together. My girlfriend snapped a picture of the president downing a 40.

Lets meet at a premium drinking place. I produce a photo of me with Yuna, confirming my honesty, then you pay for the first five rounds of drinks as a reward.
You can't produce a photo of your false statement, so you pay 100,000 won as a penalty for dishonesty.
No idea what a 40 is, maybe its a 40 oz Big Gulp. |

My visa status has changed over the years. My visa status has always been compatible with my employment.
Anyway, Immigration used have info on their site that its OK to do occasional acting jobs.
So, I don't know why you want to scrutinize the visa status of other people.
Maybe for the same reason you take polls about age and other demographic statistics. |

Various types of visa status are acceptable for occasional acting or model work.
Even a student can work legally up to 20 hours a week, and full time between semesters. |

Speaking of immigration, here is a manhwa (cartoon) that explains some immigration procedures. Maybe it will be helpful to you or somebody out there.

Sorry, I never found out who these guys were, but about 5 years ago I arrived at Incheon International Airport after a flight back from the U.S., and as I was making my way to the men's room I noticed a large entourage of what appeared to be a Rock/Heavy Metal/Christian rock band - again I never found out so let's just say Hair band. It appeared that they had just arrived as well, and they were being ushered through the airport by several Korean greeters.
Anyway, I did not give a flip - I was more concerned with making it to the facilities after a long flight. Evidently, that is what the band needed as well, because they pulled up to the urinals just after I did.
The funny thing, and the only reason I bring this up, is that one of the greeters came in with them, and was hovering over them as they were trying to get some relief. I guess he felt the need to explain what the itinerary was going to be. One of the rocker's finally said, "okay okay man, but can you give me a minute" I'll be right out!" Everyone else cracked up at that, including me.
I guess you had to be there!  |

OK, I'll play.
I've met all of the band The Macc Lads. Despite their songs being a bit 'saucy' they're a lovely bunch of chaps.
Guitarists will be jealous of this one. Allan Holdsworth bought me a couple of pints once. A thoroughly charming gentleman. BOTW Manchester
I also met the amazing percussionist Trilok Gurtu at BOTW in Manchester. A lovely man and very down to earth
Jan Kopinski (Pinksi Zoo) I met many times, I was very ba. Having a Grammy Award makes you a celeb right? I actually knew most of the members as they were one of my favourite bands and I used to go to all their local gigs. Jan and Steve I would consider friends.
Robert Plant - The guy is a legend and I was actually 'starstruck', as I love Zeppelin. I couldnt really say anything except 'I love your work, it's very nice to meet you'.
I once snuck backstage and managed to crash a very cool party. Dave Pegg (Jethro Tull) and his son Simon were there. Tori Amos pass me a very nice J! and Tori sang a beautiful song. She's a beautiful woman and very interesting.
I've met all the members of Fairport Convention. Chris Lesley is a lovely guy and I met him when he had performed a wonderful repair on a friend's violin. Simon Nicholl is also a top bloke, a lovely guy, and an excellent guitarist.
I've met a few 'famous' actors and actresses in Korea. My friends were starstruck, but I didn't really know who they were. The coolest one that comes to mind is Velvet Gina from The Rock Tigers, she is a very cool lady. We had a very interesting chat for a while.
For me, Robert Plant and Allan Holdsworth are cool folks to have met. As someone who loves music it doesn't get much better. Being on first name terms with the late Jan and Steve from Pinksi Zoo is pretty awesome.
I don't know what a celebrity is these days. Is it someone who is famous for being famous? Interesting topic. |

or perhaps my male stupidity.
my studio only used medium format hasselblads on cycwalls. they pretty much specialized in pop culture and fashion shoots. basically the biggest names in photography would come for the day, snap a few shot using these crazy 30k-50k cameras then call it a day. i was fairly sure it was terry richardson's home away from home.
but my personal style? quite sad. just general photography using a DX nikon paired to a few lenses. my favourite being an ultra-wide tamron.
anyways, i digress. orlando never spoke much. he just would sit around while miranda was getting photos taken then they'd leave if he even showed up at all. meeting celebrities is strange. |
