[sonyboy]

Sorry,

what is TCFD about.

i meant the meaning of it?

 

[azul123]

Sorry,

what is TCFD about.

i meant the meaning of it?

Both Photographer and Model offers their time for the shoot, photographer gets to shoot for free and the model gets some of the photos for free as well.

I guess TFCD would benefit both to build up their portfolios? In some cases, there maybe some nominal fee like transport but nominal lah.

[Limsgp]

Any comments on "FTW"?

 

[zcf]

Any comments on "FTW"?

Really new to me also :sweat:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/for_the_win

for the win

English
Adverb


(Internet, slang) Of something which completes a process in a successful manner or is of the speaker's personal preference; abbreviated as FTW. He lines up the shot... and he makes it-- FOR THE WIN! Did anyone see the concert last Thursday? (new speaker) Rammstein ftw! [meaning the speaker preferred Rammstein]
Usage notes

More often than not, this phrase is used online and shortened to "FTW". Also, "FTW" is mostly used to indicate a contribution or action taken that one is proud of, even facetiously. Very frequently, the phrase will be used in fragments lacking verbs, eg Good offense ftw
