I would like to post in regards of the recent comments made by CS members. I appreciate and have read through the comments and would like to clarify 3 things.
1. Regarding the last post in Babe Watch 4 where we thank all participants for the successful shoot, I believe that you have misinterpreted and did not clarify first regarding the time of that post. It was posted when we had full house for the shoot on Friday night and therefore I thank all photographers for making this shoot a success. It was NOT posted after shoot was cancelled. With all due respect, why would I post so boldly over CS knowing that the photographers who've signed up could view? I wish to clarify with everyone that it was posted on Friday night before the shoot when we had full house and NOT after the shoot was cancelled or as Azul123 states me shooting myself in the foot.
2. As my previous explanation over the cancellation of the shoot, I have taken sole responsibility for my actions regarding Babe Watch 4. If you have read carefully, I did not blame models for not turning up but instead I was stating the facts of what actually happened that day. I would gain nothing by blaming the models because what's done is done and I have admitted that it was my inexperience as an organizer that led to this discussion.
3. Lastly, I believe that what hurts most was the number of accusing fingers pointing in my direction. I have admitted it was my fault and vow to make up for it. It is true though that I should have informed the photographers the truth about the models not turning up. If I did not have the heart to organize shoots, I would not have spent time smsing photographers just to confirm they would be attending the shoot at 1am on a Saturday morning nor would I have secured a backup model just in case 1 model did not turn up. I have organized many theme-shoots and there were times where the number of photographers were just nice to cover the cost of models and there were times where I made a loss due to insufficient photographers which I believe previous snappers who attended my shoot will vouch for it. This is the first time I made a mistake and I feel sad that some of you still feel that I have not done my best. I gave my best for every theme-shoot and with the recent flaming, I am somewhat disappointed that no matter what good I've done, people will only remember the bad.
I thank JayKay, Alan, MikeElliot and a few Club Snappers for being understanding regarding this matter.
