@Freejames: Thank you for your compliments regarding VEF.
Mary is not, unfortunately or fortunately, the model of the early days.
She has more experience, research may also be other things in photography and his popularity has soared in some time.
Therefore, logic dictates that in the modeling world, rates are also increasing.
Maybe is this just a matter of money.
I doubt that it only stops at this as his pseudonym, Flora, became widely known just as a TradeMaker.
Another idea also happening in my head; Mary regrets maybe this time Hegre-Art or she let go a little too far even if we love, we passionate, both beautiful, sensual and sexual.
The ambient morality of our society called released is not as much as one imagines.
- A liberated woman is not a prostitute ...
Anyway ; we'll see if that changes after the holidays!
I only wish that photographers share a bit more work as they too are a little leery of fear that steals their work.
But what could we do well these images if not appreciate.
To sell them on the net? Of course not !
Some still do not understand that the Internet remains a place of exchange principle.
But welcome those who created originality and make trade of their own work.
For this, you have to attract customers by being less restricitif on the samples so that it makes a clear idea of the content.
The exchange has always existed and well before the internet and this has never prevented trade working, quite the contrary.
In summary, we can say that the exchange is the price to pay when the glory is there ( "La rançon de la gloire" in French ).
I am ready to buy a photographic print as long as it is an original idea by remaining honest about its value ...
However, if Mary read this, what I sometimes suspect, she knows that we are many passionate and we look forward to find her.
Kisses my sweetly.
Sorry for my poor english. I remain French first!
