The truth about Help and Rio
First, I’m in my early 40s, work out three times a week, am above average in looks, and have no problem picking up young chicks for "free" in the US. In my opinion, Ithink you all are way off on the sceen so I thought I'd post a little. In short, I’m glad I went . . . had a BLAST if you know what I mean.
The Whore Houses:
Bottom line if you’re over weight, have no game, need extra room to accommodate your member, this is the place for you. Girls here have no choice. If you choose them, then it’s off to a tiny room for a one hour or less session which is typically rushed. Here's the clue guys: the price for all the girls is exactly the same no matter quality, time to finish, or ability in bed. So what's the game here? It’s get as many guys into that ten by tenroom as possible then get em out just as fast. The real funny thing is dance floor is dark, the rooms are dark, and the truth is there’s no telling what the faces really look like until it's too late! And then the girls get banged 5 to 10 times a day.
So if you want quantity, like to be road kill by some average girls and/or easy prey, then this is the place for you. It’s easy to rack up 2 to 4 girls a night for about 120 to 150 a girl. For me this type of scene did nothing. For the shy, weak and number hungry who just want to get their rocks off, this is it. And by the way, why would you kiss a girl at a whore house that has maybe sucked a few guys before you?
Help:
Help the girls have a choice. They can and do say no. Some won’t have sex with the big boys because they want to protect their number one assest so their always looking for the short Asian type, an easy score.
I’m sure the large and in charge men have some trouble here because the girls may have already turned a few tricks and let’s face it body parts do get sore and need rest. The going rate at help is 200 to 350, with only maybe three to four girls trying to get 400 for the night. AND ONLY ONE --- LINDA – ASKING FOR MORE.
For me help was great. I got to choose my talent for the night. I danced with them first, most of the time kissed and the girls were not dressed a bra and panties but like a hot girl you would see and want to do at any cosmopolitan city in the world. The range was from some three to many average fives to a few sixes and sevens. There are very few eights and nines in all of Rio! But there are a few. For me, asking a seven to dance and getting to know her, maybe talking about a price and then taking her home and getting a great performance most of the time both at night and in the morning is/was perfect.
The key here that n o one posted is Help is NOT for the shy type. Nor is it for the type that thinks every girl in Rio owes them a fuck. Help provides the illusion of a real niught club with the easy option of paying around $100 for a night’s entertainment. But it takes work on the guy’s part, which is why I like it so much. I wanted to do Priscilla and Linda (two hot blondes) but the former wanted 400 and then thought that I wanted her to pay me. (what a joke) Anyway I was told the performance was going to be average anyway. Linda, who’s still there right now is s hot tiny blonde that does three to four guys a day, is all about the cash and I’m sure wasn’t anything to write home about.
So all you guys trying to get the prices down at help, or thinking they owe it to you, or some other waked ideas get real. IF A GIRL QUOTES YOU 600 SHE DOESN’T WANT TO FUCK YOU! This is her way to say NO! If on the other has she likes you and you have at least some game and didn’t wear pants and shirts that look like they came out the freaking fifties, then you’re likely to get a reasonable price for a honest night’s work. Moreover, I found the hotter you get these girls the fun you have. I herd Orgasmo more times than I had em men and trust me one time girl I took home got six out of me in less than seven hours. A little effort goes a long way for quality guys. Treat them a little special and you’ll get in back ten fold.
So the bottom line is help is it’s not just about the money. The girls have a choice. The Quality is way better than most clubs in the US. And if you got no game and look like you fell off the I just got dumped by wife truck after twenty years of marriage then you’ll have over pay at Help. But if you take two seconds to take a shower, throw on some after shave, and wear even a pair of jeans with a polo shirt or less, then you’ll get what you want at a decent price.

Real deal? How many times have you been to Rio? you sound like such an expert! You think people are "way off" here, but it seems it's the other way around looking at your "authortative" real deal report. It is a funny read though. It is good to live in your own world sometimes. Enjoy it.

Rob:
On any board it pays to read a few posts and get a feel for the ethics of the board before venturing out. This board generally doesn´t critize others unless someone displays overt distain for the girls or other mongers. This board is also accepting of its members if they are overweight, out of shape or older.
A better way would be for you to post why you like Help and expound on the feeling that you have win the girls approval before she´ll sleep with you. You could have said that the Termas lack this feeling. I, for one, would think you are deluding yourself, but delusions are a large part of the hobby.
Your attitude that you don´t have to pay for it, is a typical manifestation of some, but is not one that most want to hear about. The range of mongers include lots of people with substantial jobs, financial resources and other outside attributes that are beyound the stereotype. They are usually not discussed because at the end of the day, no one is here to play ¨"I´m better than you.¨¨
Good luck on your next trip report and enjoy the life.

Hey Roblaw
Thanks for the "help". I'm sure a fat pig like me would NEVER have a chance at such hot girls in Brazil. Beautiful women in developing countries have pride too and should not be subjected to my prodigious proportions.
Time for a change of lifestyle - I'm only gonna fuck my fist because I'm the only one that could POSSIBLY appreciate it. Of course, I'll stop going to SEA to visit my various GFs that offer insane hot sex to me and don't ask for much/any money (unlike your Help girl). Yeah, some aren't cute, but I'm fat and so I'm certain they want nothing to do with me.
Since I deserve only the ugly women (fat too) I'm going to include a pic of one of these fuglies I subjected my obscene proportions to on my last trip. I don't think she liked me - she hung around for five days and only asked for $25 each day and liked to fuck soooOOOOoooo much I didn't have enough energy to butterfly. I'm sure your girl is MUCH better in the sack (and hotter too).
Photos: Photo Lessons 01 02 03
You've cured my addiction. From here on out I'm NEVER going to try and fuck hot women because now I know they don't want me and are just looking for my money and then want me to leave. I'm sure your women treat you like the king that you are.
I'm going to Jenny Craig and fuck HER!!

A quote from you. "There are very few eights and nines in all of Rio." That could be the dumbest thing I have heard in several years. I have been to quite a few places and Rio and B.A. rank at the top. Saying that there are only a few 8's and 9's is liking saying that girls stateside are the best looking in the world. Yeah right, I forgot that is why we are all on this board.

"...and have no problem picking up young chicks for "free" in the US."
ROBLAW, Let this 34 year old latinlover TEACH you somethings about life and the way you threat others:
1. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE PUSSY!
2. Nothing wrong with a little extra padding. Do you know how many filet mignons I have invested on this belly?
3. You are not better than anyone on this site, or any other country for that matter.
4. If you aren't like "us" then why would you do what we do? Monger that is.
5. Come back to this site in 15 years and tell us if you are still getting "free" pusy. I know I'll still be paying for it.
6. I rather pay for steak than get free chicken wings. I am quite sure that your "free" young chicks are just that: chicken wings.
7. Anyway and what do YOU do for a living? Because us mongers are all types: Lawyers, doctors, entrepeneurs, and many other professions. Are you any of these?
Epi,
Love your sarcasm man! Pay no attention to this guy.
Maybe one day I can buy you a drink.

Rob....#1-In the last few weeks the termas talent blows help away and I love Help. #2-I'm in my early forties also and have been to help at least 50 times and have never been quoted over 300R for the top girls.Thats for tln!!But honestly nobody on this board really gives a shit. This board is about exchanging info and not heroics.

Glad you like the pics. That girl's quite the lil' biscuit. When she finally went back home I was exHAUSTED - she's nothing short of amazing.

Did you guys even read my post? I'm not sure how you could even see the girls at the Thermas? It's so dark! I've herd Barberellas had the hotest chicks but they wanted 400+ for the night plus drinks and bar tax. On my first 10 day trip there was enough talant at Help and on the beach to keep me busy for the enitre trip. One a day was fine for me. I know some here would think that's not enough.
As far as for free, it was Pricilla, the hot blonde that is always by the first drink booth on the left when you walk in, that thought I wanted it for free. I had 300 for her but it was not enough and I didn't like her style much. She wasn't the only girl that confirmed I was going to pay. I got the "you pay" line from more than a few girls at Help.
I did learn to speak some Port so that helped me and I get real dark so maybe they thought I was a loca, but again some of the girls at Help can and do say NO. At the Thermas they CANNOT say NO and all the girls are the same price. I wasn't quoted 120 for X girl and 150 for another. But at Help the price goes up as her quality or her percieved quality and demand goes up, which is then reduced as the evening gets late or if she is going to spend the night or have a chance to get back by 4:00 and pick up another guy heading out the door.
FYI: I read over 100 posts here and at the old "World Sex" site before I went and it was funny because when I got there the girls were much more attractive than I thought due to the fact not one of the girls I was with show up here and DID NOT ALOW ME TO TAKE THIER PICTURE FOR ANY PRICE.
One thing that did turn me off a little was that I felt very young in Help for a man of 43 who looks maybe 35 on a good day. And as I said I wore what I typically wear at a nice night club in LA. It was amazing to see the atire men wore to Help. There are some locals you all know that dress off the hook too. So it's not a cusom to dress down. The contrary . . . local guys dress with style and trea the club with respect.
It's funny that you guys beat me up when all I got from the girls was you're a good man. Almost all the girls I was with had at least one orgasim, and guys you can tell the difference becuase the get very wet afterwards and don't need lube.
Also, many times I didn't even talk about price. In the morning, based on what I read here, I slipped 300 plus cab fare under their purse and never herd a complaint. One time I felt 230 was better becuase she left early and although nice the sex was so-so. She knew so I didn't hear a word. I never saw her again so maybe she was a part timmer.
So you guys wnat me to say that your appearance doesn't mean anything to them? How cold! The girls that work their are human beings not frigging robots. I look forward and will have even more more fun and as my language skills develop.
I met guys who have been their ten times and couldn't even ask "what's you name" in Port.
Still think for the most part you want to treat people that way you want to be treated.

The best thing about Rio is it's all there for you. If you like the Thermas and it does it for you then it's of the hook for you. If you like the outcall then you'll be happy. Disco pick-up sceene GF night out, then Helps your ball game. The best thing about Rio is there's every type of chick, every type of experience and it's all good . . .

Roblaw...
I just left Rio a couple of weeks ago and pretty much agree with you about the "HELP" disco. But you have to realize...this board is about helping other members! I could be wrong, but it does appear you are being a little arrogant.
Similar to you, I LOVED Help and pretty much went every nite, although "most" of the other CH members chose not to follow me. As you correctly indicated, a lot of the girls choose you!
As a lot of the members can atest to, I was able to bring home a few stunners on a daily basis. But, to give you a little background on this board...we all have to "see" proof..because everyone can talk a good game....if you know what I mean! If you have a moment...take a look at a few of my pictures that are showcased and see if you recognize any of the HELP girls.
You're right...you have to have a little game in help but part of that battle is convinving them to take pictures! If they REALLY like you....they would eventually change their minds about pictures...you have to know how to turn on that charm. Almost all the girls I took from HELP initially refused pictures....but as mentioned before, you have to have a little game!
Anyways....take a look at my pictures and see what you think!

Roblaw, or is it Rob-law,
I'm very hesitant to post this reply as I am a relative newbie to this site as well as to mongering and have, in fact, been to Rio during Carnaval. However, I was so taken aback after reading your post that I feel compelled to respond in some way.
When I first became aware of this and other sites I thought it was/is a great thing. I finally found a way to acquire information that would assist me in my travels beforehand rather than after I had already arrived in a destination, thus being able to maximize the benefits of my stay. I thought it great that I would be able to benefit from the experiences of others, as well as share my own experiences, for whatever they were worth. One thing I told myself was that I would never, under any circumstances, criticize the experiences of others on this site as my purpose was simply to share in the experiences, and that our experiences are our own whether someone else likes them or not.
As arrogant as your comments seem to be, I'd like to believe that you didn't mean them in the way that we've all interpreted them. But I would like to address them individually and maybe help you to see how it is they may have been interpreted in the way that they have been.
I'll quote you; "First, I’m in my early 40s, work out three times a week, am above average in looks, and have no problem picking up young chicks for "free" in the US." I cannot quite figure out why in hell it is that someone who can "pick up young chicks for 'free'in the US" would find it necessary to spend the amount of money required to travel all the way to Brazil to pick up young chicks. Do you see the inherent contradiction? I, by the way, am 41, work out 3 times a week, hope that I'm decent looking, and have no problem picking up young chicks in the US either--all of whom seem to expect 2 and 3 times the amount of money to be "kept."
Another quote; "Bottom line if you’re over weight, have no game, need extra room to accommodate your member, this is the place for you." There are many reasons why we do what we do as mongerers. Your description of yourself identified me, without the mentality. If you believe for one minute that those women love you or think any more highly of you than they do any one of us, you are sadly mistaken. You, like the rest of us, are just another means by which to pay the rent and feed the kids.
Another quote; "I wanted to do Priscilla and Linda (two hot blondes) but the former wanted 400 and then thought that I wanted her to pay me." You mean to tell me that "I’m in my early 40s, work out three times a week, am above average in looks, and have no problem picking up young chicks for "free" in the US", couldn't get it for free in Brazil?
In any event, I could go on and on. I was not only offended for everyone on this site but, in fact, embarrassed for you. I think you should go back and re-read your initial report and take off the "I’m in my early 40s, work out three times a week, am above average in looks, and have no problem picking up young chicks for "free" in the US" glasses. I think you'll come to the realization that, in the end, we're really no different. What amazes me most is that you seem to feel that you went to Rio and showed everybody how it's supposed to be done. If you feel that your appearance was the decisive factor in getting laid, and not the 300 you shelled out, I think the girls showed you how it's supposed to be done. To criticize another for paying 120-150 for a girl, but then admitting to paying 300 seems, again, a little hypocritical, don't you think?
And, finally, in reference to the girls you spent time with, whose dicks, and how many do you think they sucked before they spent time with you?
My comments are not meant to offend you, or anyone else for that matter, and I hope they are taken in the context in which they are meant.

rob,
i am having trouble figuring out your post so let me attempt to summarize. it sounds like you went to brazil so you could compete with other guys at help to pay for a night of sex with what you consider the best looking girls in help.
if i believe what you wrote, from the point of view of the girls they must be going to help looking for the best looking guy who will pay them the least amount of money. do you really believe this is true? i hope not.
as you know, all the these girls (or at least 80% of them) either work in a terma and get fucked a bunch of times a day, or are with a different guy every night of the week anyway. if you think you found a different girl every night who was fresh off the farm and just vacationing in rio and happened to stop by help for some extra spending money you are mistaken.
if you want some real competition, try visiting melt, bombar, hard rock, or some of the places in lapa. there you will find hot, educated, brazilian women, a lot of whom speak english very well. if you do well with the girls there i will definitely give you credit. however, as you mentioned, it doesn't take much more than putting on a nice shirt and pants to pass the intial test for the best looking girls at help and any guy on this board willing to do that is in.
i really disagree on the terma comments also, if you visit solarium, centaurus or 65, as well as some of the others, not only can i clearly see their faces (in fact the lighting there is better than it is in help sometimes) but the percentage of hot girls in those places is much much higher in my opinion.
BTW, appearance means very little to the girls, what is more important is money. as long as you are a 5 or higher, looks aren't really an issue, what they need is money. if they wanted a hot guy they would be on the beach or go to a brazilian club and find 20 guys hotter than any of us ready to fuck them.
also, for the girls at the termas, they don't want to say no, the same way the girls you are so fond of at help wouldn't be saying no to guys if there weren't other prospects out there in the club that night. If the girls at the termas had guys lining up for them or the guys outnumbered the girls 3 to 1 you better believe the girl is going to sleep with the guy she likes the best, and will do things to avoid the guys she doesn't like. every girl working at a terma could work at help, but they want to be at a terma for a number of reasons, one of which is that a lot of the hottest ones can make more money there.
the girls don't think about us the way you might like to think they do, i don't care how good looking you are personally or how well you treat them. you are a way to get their bills paid and they are a way for you to get off, you are right they are not robots but they are working and doing a job, not out to find the best looking guy who will pay them the least amount of money. if you treat them good, all the better, give them orgasms, even better, but they are all skilled in the use of a vibrator and can have lots of orgasms without you.
as other people on this board have mentioned, i hope that you comments were not meant to offend anyone, and believe you just wanted to express you opinion. everyone is free to do that and i am happy for everyone posting, but i disagree with most of your comments and wanted to add my two cents worth.

Damn ,
what a stud, looks 35 , doesnt need viagra, sharp dresser, reminds me of the song Bobby Brown by Frank Zappa.
Hey there people Im Bobby Brown, they say Im the coolest boy in town.
My car is fast, my teeth are shiny , I tell all the girls they can kiss my Hiney.
Here I am at a famous school im dressin' sharp and Im acting cool ,I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper, let her do all the work and maybe later ill rape her.
How bout some humility? The termas are awesome man , I never had the problem with the lighting, and as for there being no 8's - 10's in rio I think your crazy but tastes vary.
I think you are correct to a point about help , but honestly they probably dont want to fuck anyone.........maybe even you, you handsome son of a bitch

You probably wanted to contribute to this board by providing your honest opininion of the scenes in Rio; however, the way you expressed those opinions are condescending, pompous, arrogant, snobbish, ridiculing, and misplaced. In so many words you just called all the mongers on this board ugly and dumb. Egos are easy to shatter so be careful of how you phrase your opinions. Good luck with your future posts.

What a hoot! GG, you took the words right from my mouth. Any dildo who can't spell termas obviously can't be much of an expert on them.
Roblaw, I'm an old safado cachorro, I do not pick up chicks in the US for free, nor do I purchase their services (I have too much self-respect to diddle gringas), I work out when I can but I'm no lady-killer. But WTF, I go to Brasil and have a great time. I treat the women well, joke with them, give them little presents, and pay them. We all are happy with the arrangement.
I've only been to Rio 70 times or so, and am living in Brasil now, but I'm sure happy you've opened my eyes to how things really are down here. I and most of my CH colleagues have obviously been somewhat deluded.
And thanks for the lesson on female orgasim (I always thought it was spelled "orgasm"), but, gosh, I thought the lube was for before they had their orgasim.
Oh, BTW, I've probably sessioned with at least 100 girls out of Help, many of them absolute stunners. I'm old, dress like shit (never worn anything other than jeans into the place), and can't dance (I'm no dancin' fool), but, I've NEVER had to pay 300 reais. And I've never had a complaint from a Help garota. So who's got "game" or, for that matter, WTF is "game"? Maybe it means speaking their language, joking with them, having a good time, and not coming off as an arrogant SOB...just maybe.

I don't know about you guys, but this Roblaw pogue sounds like a complete fucking moron to me. Let's see, he's blind, since he can't see anything in a terma. Maybe he just forgets to take off his ultra-cool LA-playa sunglasses while inside. Either case, same result. He slips 300 reias to girls who would usually only charge 200, but she was really into him for his looks so the money isn't important, even though he overpayed by 50%. He says he learned a little Portuguese, which really helped him against all the competition from those of us lower beings who actually have learned the language enough to have real conversations with the girls.
The coup de gras, though, was this steaming nugget of insight: "So all you guys trying to get the prices down at help, or thinking they owe it to you, or some other waked ideas get real. IF A GIRL QUOTES YOU 600 SHE DOESN’T WANT TO FUCK YOU!"
Hey Rob, yeah the want to fuck us, BUT THEY WANT 600 REIAS BECAUSE SOME DIPSHIT RUBE SOMEWHERE WILL PAY IT AND NOT BOTHER TO NEGOTIATE. The ones asking for US $200 are the smartest ones because every night some foreigner who just got into town on a business trip and doesn't know shit about the scene hears $200, which is cheaper than the US, and the girl is hotter, so on and so forth, and they fucking pay. And you are an idiot for not understanding this.

Not to mention that Help Disco is a tourist attraction, not unlike Disney World.
The thrills there are short-lived, the tickets ain't cheap, and before you climb aboard you're best to check the seat to see what the last guy left for you as a souvenier.
Roblaw landed, he conquered Space Mountain, and threw in his two cents worth. Kudos to him.
If Rio were only about Help Disco and the dimly lit termas, I'd likely stay in the USA and go to the gym 3x/week too.

Thailand has it's share of pretty women... and a few fuglies like that one too. Ain't life grand?
I REALLY liked those pics of her. I ran her up to the roof when the sun was going down. I took about 15 good ones - these were the ones I decided to share. I liked the second pic because you could see she wasn't wearing a bra (and she was cold). The third pic looked good with the wind blowing her hair - even blew a bit of a palm in front of the lens when I took the pic (the vague green streak going up her shirt). Shooting with fast glass did a WONDERFUL job of throwing the foreground and background out of focus...
And her teeters look good too...

Pardon my French but what does "Shooting with fast glass" mean exactly?

Too much. Here I sit, 40 pounds overweight, mid 50s, work out 3 times a week and still look terrible, and not only do I have to pay women to get laid, I have to pay them to even talk with me. Plus, I'm short, wear glasses, thick glasses, have a little dick, and thought the termas were the greatest thing I had ever seen experienced. I never went into Help although I stood outside on the terrace for ten nights in a row.
So one of us is the world's biggest loser. Haha. That was fun.

Sorry - the faster the lens, the faster the shutter speed you can use. Increasing the "speed" of a shot does two things:
1. Allows you to "freeze" action that would otherwise be blurred by movement.
2. Keep anything not on the focal plane out of focus.
When I took that shot I WANTED her to be the only thing in focus in that picture. I opened the lens up to f2.0 so that the buildings, railing, and even plants in the fore/background would be out of focus. She's the ONLY thing in the picture that's sharp and clear. Even with all that "visual noise" in the background, your eyes are drawn to her... not the cartoon-colored building in the background.
Here's two more pics I took of her on the beach in Jomtien:
Photos: Photo Lessons 04 05
Notice how the background is nothing more then indistinct shapes. This was intentional as I didn't want to look at the beach, I wanted to look at HER!!
Here's another example that better displays the difference I'm talking about. I took these two pics on the same beach at the same time I took the other two pics. The first pic is taken at f2.0, the second at f8.0:
In the first pic, most of the poles are not in focus, while in the second pic EVERYTHING in the picture is easy to distinguish. The first pic I took VERY fast. At f2.0, the shutter was open 1/640th - the second pic at f8.0 was a MUCH longer exposure time of 1/40th. Other then clarity of items within the photos, the pics look the same, yes?
Once you understand how time and aperture relate, you are better able to control what is "seen" in your picture. I used this control to get the effect I wanted. Wait until you see some of the OTHER trip pics I've got on my PC.
BTW, I always leave my metadata on the pics so if you have a program that will allow you to view the data you can "see" how I took the shot...

Damn Epi! That's ALL Greek to me. Somebody better please explain to Athos that I'm talking greek as a language and not a ... oh forget it.
Let's just say that I'm impressed. I'm going to play around with the Fstop on my camera to see if I can get this same effect.
Thanks for the tech tip Epi. Share more when you get a chance.

I think it's funny that this guy comes on this site talking about how much game he has and being critical of some posters thinks the going rate in Help is 200 to 350. I got news for you buttsauce, I've never paid more than 150R for a Help girl, and I'm very picky. And I speak hardly any Portuguese. 200 to 350 is the going rate if the chick really doesn't want to do you. The joke's on you.

What's really funny is in the Brazil trip buddies section he states he's 38 yrs old. In this thread he's now 43 yrs old. Maybe just another typo?? I know I'll be using him as my guide next time I go to Help.....I'm thinking Cat figured him out fairly quickly!!

Using ACDSee 7. It's a terribly simple program, yet has some GREAT tools for working with your pics. When I went to save my first pic after installing the program, it offered "options". I selected 100% quality. This gives me big files, but not unwieldy in size. I also do not get any of the unsavory effects that occur when a pic is compressed.
It helps when you have a good pic to start out with. I use a Canon 20D. I used to travel with zoom lenses, but found that I get better results from my $300 50mm f1.4 prime then from my $1300 16-35 f2.8L. Now, the expensive "L" series lens is GREAT (Bahtman uses this lens sometimes), but the 50mm is small, light and takes GREAT pics. The only problem is you sometimes end up backed against the wall trying to capture a shot...
Here's one more I took to get the same "effect". Let me know what you think:

I think Epi's use of "fast glass" to blur the background was a dirty trick to force us to actually look at his fugly, since we did not have the option (as we do with Masterbates' pictures) of concentrating our attention to the background only, thereby keeping our eyeballs from cracking (and I must say, I can spend hours fascinated by viewing those interior walls on the $3 Tijuana hotels).
By the way, if any of you wish to subject us to similar hideous photographic tricks, and have a few bucks to spare, I found the interactive tutorial, available at http://www.123di.com/, very helpful in furthering my understanding of photography and digital processing.

Epi: Now that I have thoroughly insulted you, any thoughts on whether I should trade in my 50mm, f1.8 for an f1.4; is it worth the extra dinero? I am using the 20D also.

I REALLY HOPE YOU PHOTOGRAPH FOR A LIVING...OTHERWISE THE WORLD IS MISSING OUT ON A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER.
SEEING YOUR PICS HAS MADE ME WANT TO TAKE A PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS! SERIOUSLY.
YOU ARE LIVING PROOF THAT BEING FAT AND UGLY IS NO OBSTACLE TO MONGERING WELL AND IN STYLE.
TAKE CARE MY FRIEND.

Glad you liked those pics. Pic 1, 6 and 7 are Thai girls, the rest are from Indonesia. Ahhh - Indonesia...
On the second pic you can see the reflection of my hotel room. I was using a flash bouncing off the wall. Even on the resized pic I posted here you can see some detail. Here's another pic of her eyes. I cropped the original pic down to 800x600 so it's CH friendly. Gives you an idea of just how big these files are:
Here's one of the few times I actually used my macro lens. I was showing my exGF how close I could get and still get a picture. Now, I can get closer, but this one will give you an idea of how clear the pics can be. The first pic is just the original resized, while the second pic is a cropped portion of the original:

You've completely lost me with all of your tech talk. But that's ok, cause I'm enthralled with your subjects.
That girl in 'email19' pic, the silhouted photo? Her breasts have more tissue above the nipple than below. They look like they might begin to fall by the time she's 69 years old. Is she Indonesian or Thai?
Thanks for showing us a a little bit of your work. Although it has me wondering what you do for a living...
And your reflection in her iris is classic. Clearly the refraction from the curvature of her eyeball has changed your profile as if we were seeing you in a circus mirror. I bet if you inverted that image you would look like a NBA player.

The girl in #19 is indeed Indonesian. Her face has strong features so some would consider her beautiful, others would apply another label. Her body is SMOKIN' HOT!! When she lays down her titties look the same as when she's standing up. I love tits on 19 year old girls...
The reflection shot - I took that pic with my camera shooting at ISO 400. Much like opening the aperture, this allows for pics to be taken "faster", but increases the grain or digital noise. You can see some of the other data in her eyes. The first cropped pic is MUCH cleaner, taken at ISO 100.
BTW, I though I DID look thin in that "self portrait". Frankly, I'm so fat when I fuck the girls it's like laying a car on a straw.
So many have contributed guides to CH, perhaps I'll work on a small guide for people wanting to take pics. Of course, I'll need Wombat, Murasaki and a few others to help out...

DeeG,
Seeing as everyone here knows you speak greek,
we're not buying that you don't understand that increasing the speed is a primary purpose of opening the aperture.
I'm thinking a certain therapist was trying to get your shudder speed down to 1/640.

Thats some cool shit man!!!!! I cant believe youre shooting one handed again, I told you you'll go blind.
| By Epimetheus on Friday, March 25, 2005 - 04:08 pm: Edit |
Funny you should mention that - not one hour later I covered her in "icing" with a "knuckle shuffle" facial. I even tried to give it that "streudel" look by blasting jizz lines across her face...

That had to be the worst Help report ever. I think this is the cock who is crowing at 5:00 AM, waking me up. Newbies - this is the type of monger you don't want to be. Aside from mongering, the personable style sucks in any demographic or situation.
I think CC used to say "Don't be a dickie doo - do not do what dickie doo do, or you will be a dickie doo too" or some hilarious shit like that. Regardless of your size or age, style or sage, you're sure to have a good time at Help - unless you are a dickie do too ;>
And Roblaw, all the pomp and circumstance isn't necessary and just makes you look like an asshole. Don't worry, someday a girl will like you for you, even if you don't go to the gym, even if you wear a fanny pack to carry your insulin, or one day start to bald. But until then, remember, we are the only ones who will pick you up off the sidewalk in front of Help without taking your watch - so show a little respect, fucktard.
