Description Dear friends, this is a actually a reply to a friend who left a comment in this pic, and I posted it in my journal as well, I think it's necessary for me to post it here as I really want everyone to read it if possible, so here we go.

75% of the girls I shot are my house mate as I am renting some of my rooms to visiting models, I know their eating habit, most of them eat normal, some eat like a pig and yet they don't even put on an ounce!! A lot of people I think are influenced by the news about models starved to death recently but let's face it, some people just born skinny and will never put on weight, and please skinny not necessary unhealthy. I was quite angry with people who commented negatively about some of my pics, I totally ok when they say I'm bad photographer, or even things like I don't deserve to be photographer but why call skinny models bad model when they work as hard as anybody else,they didn't offend anyone. 1 particular picture I didn't even bother to reply which is the underwater 1, nobody has an idea how much the models suffered for this shoot. The pay for this shoot is so low, disgusting even, yet they did it cause they knew not many people have this kind of opportunity, they even said they will do it for free. Seriously I would have collapsed if I were them. Many people judge model these days because of some bad seed, I don't deny that. Many model are going to lose their job in Spain and now Italy because they implemented the law not to allow skinny model to work. For those who are very unhealthy skinny I agree with this law but they just have to check carefully. Some models depends on this money, they are the only one making money in they family, some from a single parent and 4 siblings kind of family, they only see their family once in 2 years as the ticket is just too expensive to fly back to Brazil. They started modeling at 14 when they suppose to be in school, but if they go to school their little brother and sister wouldn't have a chance! This story been repeating all the time yet people care only how skinny they are, very sad. Oh 1 more thing, model look dead cause they look pale!!!??? Hello, does anyone not look pale underwater, this is science, when you cold your blood circulate lesser to the skin and there are some bluish tint underwater, simple as that. Anyway thanks for pointing out for me and in the way encourage me to write this.

My God, the world is about to be taken over by a bunch of International Bankster thugs, and all you people can focus on is this stupid scenario regarding another person's thin body type. No wonder the powers-that-be are winning the battle. Too many stupid Neanderthals wasting precious mental capabilities on nonsense such as this. For God's sake people, wake up before you all end up in one of the 650 concentration camps that now exist here in the United States! Nuf' said!

And I agree with all you said,as with my ex and i,we are both skinny and find it near impossible to gain weight and im always deathly pale and people always asume im sick or unhealthy.
You're 'speech' was very true and touching,well done for putting it out there!!!

Fantastic photo!!!! I totally agree about this models thing. I'm skinny too... and one of those who eat A LOT, but people always look with that strange gaze. Here in Brazil there are a lot a stories like those you mentioned, and the modeling world is kind of overcrowded, that means it's even harder to get jobs and tests.

Thank you very much for writing this! I hope that there are a few people that would get what you wanted to say over here. I am a model and I hate all those talks about models that they are starving to death and that they don't do anything in their lives but this work as simple as it can appear it is quite hard to do... to travel a lot ..and not see your family for 2 , 3 months or more. And a lot of other things! Thank you again...i checked out your gallery and I am amazed of what I have been seeing Keep up the good work

I agree with the general argument going on here, its her choice and she's doing somthing with her life and brining inspiration to others.
I was inspired by this picture, it hink its a lovely shot full of movement, hidden meaning and its jsut beautiful.

this is a beautiful underwater shot

eclecticmuses [2008-03-29 17:20:36 +0000 UTC]

I think this is a lovely series of shots--I love the dark blue of the water background and the way long hair floats in water.

Try to keep your chin up above the haters--I too used to be skinny despite my best efforts. I never really thought much about my weight til I got to college and people started accusing me of not eating and being anorexic. Obviously they missed me scarfing mashed potatoes and gravy every night at dinner!

Oh well, now that I'm out of college and have had a baby I've got some weight on my middle.

I HEAR PALE IS UNHEALTHY. IT SURE DOES NOT MEAN PEOPLE DON'T GO OUT IN THE SUN MUCH.

Being a model, there might be a market for being pale, just like there is a market for being any skin color there is. Derp.

You have amazing pictures! This one is yet another great capture. And btw, yes i am so skinny even if i eat too much. but duznt mean im less healthy. never really got very sick(hospital) for the past 15 years or so. no allergies or other complications so far. iv been to very good and very hostile climate changes but was able to adjust quite easily. people try to make me fat feeding me too much but still didnt get fat. the insecure always compare bodies with other people and try to put down other people to "feel" better to appear more healthy or fit. That mentality is disgusting. Being thin or fat or whatever doesnt have anything to do with it. Cheers to these guys.

InConflict [2007-10-01 18:01:14 +0000 UTC]

I am not a psychologist but I can clearly see two types of girls that aren't happy that they are overweight. The first group take it all inside. They start hating themselves and sort of love the idea of hurting and destroying themselves. I think the eating disorders start with this point of view. The other type are the girls that let the aggression out. They are hateful the are always cranky and enjoy when others suffer. They usually focus their destructive energy on people that are weaker and very sensible. Unpopular and sort of strange people that are severed from being taken as normal. It happens so that the first group of girls become a hate target for the second.

In most cases people who flame you are the second group of girls and men who support them.

I think there is a disturbing number of models that are trying to be better and even the best and are getting pushed to the walls. Some of them have health problems some become prostitutes some even go crazy. There is no point in arguing who is the bad or the good here. Things just have to be regulated. I don't blame you but if you ever used a girl and you were aware that she had problems I think you should be put to jail.

Hello, first of all al totally love the image, i believe it has a lot of estethic value. Second i am shure anything else is un judje, not the model not how dificult is sould or shouldn't be to make someone be underwater (technical difficulty is NOT an esthetic value.)
It's like a talking about Boticelli's "Birth of venus" Is the actual model cold? Is it polliticaly correct to stand into a shell? Souldn't she be more careful with a living beeng?
I meen c'mon, in a nude you are to se, shapes, ligth color or lack of it, not cuestioning about the skinny or not the model is, you should be experiencing the image, not wondering about the real fact that in this case fhotograph is re-resenting.
Anyway just an opinion, great image, congrat's.

This is the most amazing from this series I couldn't believe when I saw it featured in a friend's gallery

The one thing I like best in this one is there are almost no bubbles around them, seems like they could be like that for ages... The light is a little darker than the other ones, but it ends up giving a fenomenal contrast with the girl's skin
