The Urban Market is
Seriously Uninspired

A funny thing has happened lately. I've gotten to a
point that I hardly want to post anything on the blog
unless I had something to do with its creation. I'll
explain..
Urban modeling "news" can basically be broken down
into three categories: 1) Twitter candid pics by well
known to semi-well known urban models and pseudo
celebrities, 2) "professional" urban model photos,
consisting of the usual overly retouched, seamless
backdrop, unoriginal stuff aspiring models and
websites proudly trot out like it's something to
celebrate (this includes scans from the popular urban
magazine photos like BlackMen and SHOW), and 3) mass
quantity, message-board anonymous booty posts (with
or without faces attached). None of these categories
interests me anymore.
Blogs like mine tend to post the "highlights" of the
foregoing categories. Some of them, like Dynasty
Series and my site, also feature original content.
But producing shoots is time consuming and expensive.
I don't think any of the urban blogs are bringing in
PerezHilton.com money that can make doing these
shoots consistently worthwhile. So that leaves us
with having to recycle that other stuff. I don't
wanna do that anymore.
I've basically outgrown urban modeling as it stands
today and moved to a place where what appeals to me
is so esoteric*, only a handful of people (the people
who come here) can even appreciate it. In the coming
days I'll be posting some new pics of Carol Seleme
Daniel, a girl is as beautiful as she is creative and
that really comes thru in her pix. Sabrina Hunter is
also in town so hopefully I'll get a chance to shoot
with her. But otherwise, you guys might have to buck
up for some long dry spells, lol. Oh, and I like the
pic of Maliah below, so that's
not offered
as an example of what's wrong.
P.S. How many more posts like this can I do, lol?
*Only by urban modeling standards...
