providers taking photo/film/

[Guest121613]

(another coed thread briefly discussed providers having photos or video of clients. I did not want to start a tangent on that thread, so I thought I would start one.)

I have not had a provider ask for a photo, so I think that is relatively uncommon. If the provider secretly gets a photo, well I guess I would not know??? I have wondered about that, and Frankie's thread briefly discusses it http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=668998 and is the first I heard of it, and a client sort of confirm it.

I would think if a provider is secreting getting photos and someone figures that out, it should be/make an alert? or would the client be too nervous to tell?

In the case of a provider taking photos or video without permission would be an alert for sure. I know if a client got caught taking photos of a provider without permission would get him on every black list there is. In either case it is NOT acceptable! I often take my camera to appointments but never take it out of the bag without asking.

In Frankies thread I mentioned a provider having my photo and others on her computer. She had asked me to send her one and I obliged. I didn't think much of it at the time but I wont do it again. ..... BD

I am on the fence about . I think if i lived in a big city and hosted at my home I would have my home on camera. I felt comfy in Houston knowing my parkinglot, courtyard, and halls were on camera. In nyc my apt was in a nosey italian area in the bssement of a house with a locked huge gate and neighbors that would text me the sec a package was delivered or a kid so much as touched my gate walking by. If i lived in chicago ,detroit ... I would be on all camera.

Good thread lfk....i personally look around and see camera's everywhere..we have absolutely no privacy in this world..privacy is a thing of the past..no i would not
have a camera at my location nor would i want to have pics of different men on my computer..
There is just too much that goes along with it..im pretty ol school with this..i think
this biz should be as discreet as it can be in this day and age...
Ya gotta ask yourself ..why is this girl wanting a pic of me???
If a provider is asking you to send her a pic of you..that right there is a "better look at the "whole pic instead of the here and now"
way to many ladies these days are "dirtbags" and they will use that pic later on if they feel they want something from you or worse get pissed at ya...

(no offense ladies..) however its true...

its the thrill of the ride to wonder what they look like till they actually get to my place..

besides if something terrible happened and i passed on..the last thing i want is for my family to hear about my endeavors and be able to see them on the 6pm news..

on the local front...
a southwedge woman found dead today in her apt..seemed like a relatively normal passing..( in her sleep) till the investigators found over 1000's of video tapes of her and all kindsa diff men doing all kindsa diff things in all kindsa diff ways.." more on the 6,8,10, news as every update we can bring you today....

id probly end up on anderson cooper live..in the first 15!!

my luck it would probably be a best seller of sexual positions known and not known to man..heheheh

so no..no video camera for me..besides..i hear the camera adds 10 pounds to ya..just not a fan of that..

I would agree that a provider secretly taking photos would be a bad thing, But, just remember if you are hobbying at hotels and motels and the like you are probably already on their surveillance cameras.Just a thought...

[Lexxxy]

Sadly , there are bad people out there on both sides. We all take risks being in the hobby and additional risks seeing new people.
Sadly I'm sure there are bad people out there doing it for bad reasons and not safety.
I wish I had pic evidence of my stalker I "outed"putting a bag with a stomped to death puppy in it on the hood of my car. Not for what he did to me but for what he did to the puppy. :"( I "outed" him after that to find out who he is.

I'm sorry this happened to you. It must have been very traumatic. Unfortunately, there are some sick, sick bastards in this world.

Wow Lexxxy I cant belie that, I am so sorry that happend to you. As a pet owner it breaks my heart even more. I hope they find whoever hurt that poor innocent puppy.

[Guest121613]

Thanks for all the great feedback. It is interesting, I want to be cautious, but yet know so does the lady. Seems like a rationale situation for a lady to have a security cam to see who is approaching their residence in certain neighbor hoods. I also think in normal provider/client situation, it is not needed, but how many times is it normal?

I sort of remeber when I first started, I did use me real ID for a couple of ladies, and I choose wisely, but yet it could have backfired for me. Obviously if they had my id, they could find a pic of me on the net if they search hard enough. One commented on my google+ photo.

I know my senstivity would be decreased if I was single, and with a less responsibility.

You mean Italians throw things?

[Sam54]

Very well put Anita! Photos = Evidence

And while were on it, not to change the subject, I can't tell you how many SP's ( real life info) I have stumbled upon in FB, who use same Pics in their ads (face) as their profile FB profile. I have to keep a FB acct for personal reasons, but I don't show my face or post. I can't believe the personal stuff people say. One dumb SP posted that she lives across the street from a crime that made the news. Guess what hunny? Everyone now knows where you live!!! Stuff like that!

Been there! I've mentioned this before. I had an overnighter with a regular and in the middle of the night, I heard a clicking noise. I'm a very light sleeper so the clicking noise woke me up. I asked him what he was doing, and he said "nothing" and put the camera in the dresser. To make a long story short, I put him on my DNS list. He didn't take it well but it's water under the bridge now. I'm not a fan of ANYONE -providers or hobbyists taking photos or having videos of anyone without their permission. I mean, it's one thing if they ask your permission and another thing if they don't.
About video surveillance, if a lady had this in her home I think the right thing to do would be to let the gent know before the date. But let's get real here. I don't think a provider would volunteer this information if she does incalls at her home.
